Is Your Church Shaming the Poor? (1 Corinthians 11:33)

March 25, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Lord’s Supper, one another commands, poor, rich

Therefore when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper. For in eating, each one takes his own supper ahead of others; and one is hungry and another is drunk. What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God

The Lord’s Supper As It Was

February 9, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - deipnon, Lord’s Supper, William Barclay

Here is the eminently readable William Barclay describing how the Lord’s Supper was originally celebrated: It is not in doubt that the Lord’s Supper began as a family meal or a meal of friends in a private house…It was like the Jewish Passover which is a family festival and at which the father and the

It would be nice if the Bible had direct teaching about how frequently you should celebrate it. But despite several passages devoted to discussing the

Fellowship with God and One Another
