New Podcast: Have We Misunderstood the Lord’s Supper?

, · August 31, 2020

Have we left out important facets of the Lord’s Supper, like its present and future components? How is Christ’s presence manifested in the Lord’s Table? What is the role of faith in receiving the Lord’s Supper as a means of grace? How does the Lord’s Supper communicate our Pneumatology as well as Christology? Why is the Lord’s Supper a test case of sorts for whether we are presenting the full gospel and its implications?

In this episode of the Credo podcast, Matthew Barrett is joined by Todd Billings to analyze why so many churches today fail to capture the meaning of the Lord’s Supper and its implications for union with Christ by the Spirit.
