Skipping Communion? Why John Wesley Said Don't Do That with Ryan Danker

How often should Christians take Holy Communion? In this video, we look at how John Wesley would answer that question. In his sermon “The Duty of Constant Communion,” Wesley insisted that the Lord’s Supper isn’t optional. It’s a command of Christ and a means of grace. In this episode, Dr. Matt O’Reilly sits down with Dr. Ryan Danker, Director of the John Wesley Institute in Washington, D.C., to explore why Wesley believed constant communion was essential for Christian life and growth. Together they discuss the theology, history, and practical implications of Wesley’s commitment to attending the Lord's Supper as often as possible.
