Item Info

Title:

Description:

Sermon start time: 21:09. Sermon end time: 32:46.
Discusses the significance of the Lord's Supper before taking communion. It is not a magical experience that ensures salvation nor is it just a memorial to a historic figure, it is the gathering of Christians who love one another and await God's grace. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
Key quotation: Our celebration is not simply the memorial of a great historic figure. But neither is it some mystical or magical transaction whereby we assure ourselves of the kind of salvation that we would like. In the presence of one another, and in the presence of the scriptural word about Jesus, we gather around His table.
