About this episode

This episode explores the significance of The Lord's Table in the context of Israel's history, Jesus' ministry, and the communal acts of the early church.

The Lord's Table is set in the context of the life of the nation of Israel in the Old Testament. The Lord's Table is set in the context of the life and ministry of Jesus and the meals he shared with various people. The Lord's Table is set in the context of the life of the gathered community of followers of Jesus in four communal acts every time we gather (Acts 2:42): 1. The Apostle's Teaching 2. The Fellowship Offering 3. The Breaking of the Bread 4. Prayers (including singing and intercessory prayers) Why are we only doing one of these things once per month when clearly all four of these communal acts were part of the weekly gathering of the people of God?
