Welcome back! This is Season 3, episode 1A. As promised, this is one the short talks that will supplement each episode. Let's turn our attention to Numbers 21:4-9 and see God's instruction to look to His word to receive life. Although, this passage is not a Sacramental one, it helps us understand how to receive the Sacraments. God's visible word. We look to His word of promise however He says to. Enjoy!

The Lord's Supper: More than A Memory

We! Are! Back! Happy New Year!!! Welcome to season 3!!! In episode one we revisit the book, Free to Be: A Handbook to Luther's Small Catechism. The subject at hand is the Lord's Supper. The prevailing view is that the Sacrament of the Altar is memorial or symbolic in nature. Yet, biblically and according to church history, Christ is bodily present, in, with, and under the bread and wine. He promises to never leave us nor forsake us. He promises to forgive us of our sin. According to Matthew 26:26, He keeps those promises at the Lord's Table, bodily. "Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." What an amazing promise. Such a comfort!

Our Longing for Revival, Nearness with God, Family, & Future Security Satisfied! (The Lord's Supper)

We are back in the book, Free to Be: A Handbook to Luther's Small Catechism.
Season 3, episode 2 discusses:
1. The communal nature of the Lord's Supper. This holy meal not only strengthens our faith but unites us as a family. Jesus meets us with forgiveness and family fellowship.
2. The hunger for revival as expressed in the Asbury Revival. And what it may reveal about our longing for the nearness of God. That in which the Lord's Supper also satisfies.
3. The 1500+ year teaching of the Mystical Union of the Lord's Supper that the majority of Christians hold. We listen to the song, That Long from the EP, Christ For You. Which further builds that case.
Enjoy!
