The Lord’s Supper

Jesus gave the Lord’s Supper to His church as a sign of His covenant love—yet believers may sometimes participate in a shallow, perfunctory way. Teaching from 1 Corinthians, Sinclair Ferguson helps us develop a deeper understanding of this gift by discussing eight aspects of the ordinance: benediction, communion, consecration, commemoration, repetition, proclamation, anticipation, and self-examination. Pastors are encouraged to share an appreciation of this Gospel sign with those they lead, which will strengthen their fellowship with Jesus and with each other.
