From the Pulpit...

Implications of the Lord’s Table. First, the service is beneficial for your own spiritual life because it “schedules in” an opportunity for you to think about what the Lord has done for us and how your conduct and thought patterns match up with it. Being absent from it for months is not good for your spiritual life. Second, it is also beneficial for the church corporately because it reminds us that we are on the same team, in the same family, sharing together in common the life of Jesus because of His death. Third, it is a symbol of the entire gospel. To any watchers, we tell the whole story of Christ’s life, substitutionary death, resurrection, defeat of Satan, ascension, return, kingdom, and glory after suffering.
