We now study section 4 of the Catechism, Christian Questions with their Answers. How do the Christian questions and answers relate to the rest of the Catechism, especially the 6 chief parts? What is the distinction between self-examination and the duty of the pastor examine those who desire to come to the Lord’s Table? How does this section lead us to the reason for our hope in the Gospel promise? Read these questions and answers at catechism.cph.org/en/questions-answers.html and use them for your own examination before Communion.

Rev. Mark Bestul, Pastor of Calvary Lutheran Church in Elgin, IL, joins host Rev. Sean Smith to discuss Christian Questions and their Answers.
