Let's Stop Diminishing the Lord's Supper

Send us Fan Mail Summary The sermon calls for a renewed reverence and biblical fidelity in the observance of the Lord's Supper, emphasizing its central role in Christian worship. Drawing from the Gospels, Paul’s letters, and the early church’s practice in Acts, it affirms that the Supper is not a peripheral ritual but a profound act of remembrance, communion, and proclamation of Christ’s sacrifice, meant to be celebrated frequently—ideally weekly—and at the heart of corporate worship. The preacher warns against diminishing the Supper through infrequent observance, mechanical or individualized distribution, devaluing the Supper by viewing it as just a symbol, and the omission of thanksgiving, participation, and teaching. Instead, he advocates for a communal, liturgical, and meaningful celebration using biblical elements—bread and wine—accompanied by the Lord’s own words, intentional fellowship, and a posture of spiritual readiness, restoring the Supper to its rightful place as a vital expression of the church’s unity and identity in Christ. At its core the Lord’s Supper is a spiritual meeting between the risen Lord and His people. By treating it with more reverence and frequency, the church can better participate in the "sweet, intimate fellowship" and the forgiveness of sins that the meal is meant to proclaim.
