Jesus Christ commanded two practices that should be part of the ongoing life-blood of His church, baptism and the Lord's Supper (or communion). These practices are often called "ordinances" (or sacraments for those who prefer that term). Jesus didn't simply establish these ordinances as mechanical motions to be observed, however. Instead, these sacraments help keep the gospel front-and-center in the life of a church.
In this post, I'll highlight foundational beliefs about the Lord's Supper—also called the Eucharist and communion. (A number of secondary things will be left unsaid—we'll see what comes up in the comments and leave that for potential future posts!) Click here to see a recent post where I looked more closely at baptism.
