In this episode we discuss communion.
There are a lot of specifics to discuss on our convictions as it relates to the Lord’s Supper.
What is the regulative principal?
What types of worship must be held by the regulative principal and what kinds don’t?
What makes for a “covenant renewal” service?
What is the difference between the bread and the wine?r
Should there be two prayers?
Who should be admitted?
How old should someone be to come?
Should those with mental deficiencies be allowed to partake?
What is closed communion? What is open?
How often should we observe it?
Should we use wine?
Should we use leavened bread?
Are there blessings and curses connected with the meal?
I think to give us context for how communion fits within the broader scope of covenant renewal worship I would like to request that everyone listen to this 40min podcast.
James Jordan gives a wonderfully concise synopsis of why we follow the pattern of covenant renewal worship and why the Lord’s Table is so integral to it.
