The Lord’s Supper is to be received only by those who have believed in Jesus Christ. It is an ordinance that Jesus himself gave to the church. Yet we are told that we must still examine ourselves before partaking. What are we examining? Plus, Jimmy takes Joe Steve out for dinner.Baptist Catechism Q. 104Q. What is required to the worthy receiving of the Lord’s Supper?A. It is required of them that would worthily partake of the Lords supper, that they examine themselves of their knowledge to discern the Lord’s body,⁠⁠ of their faith to feed upon him,⁠⁠ of their repentance,⁠ love,⁠⁠ and new obedience,⁠⁠ lest coming unworthily they eat and drink judgment to themselves.⁠.RESOURCESThe Baptist CatechismA Scriptural Exposition of the Baptist Catechism by Benjamin BeddomeRead Beddome’s Exposition online for free here.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

very Christian wants have the right words to deliver to their family, friends, children, coworkers, and fellow church members. We want to speak timely truths in love. But some things can hinder this and make our words weightless.
Last week Dr. John Snyder introduced us to our new series and this week he is joined by Teddy James, the guy who belongs behind the camera. They discuss the reality that if we want to be a people who are listened to by those we love, we must be a people who listen well. That means primarily two things:
First, we must be active listeners to God. Whether it is reading Scripture, participating in a sermon on Sunday morning, or having a spiritual conversation with others we must win the battle of actively listening, rather than being passive and lazy.
Second, we must do the hard work of plowing up our lives to make room for the truths of Scripture. How much of the sermon you heard on Sunday has found application in your life? How are you living on and applying what God showed you in your morning devotion? Do not leave truth unapplied in your life.
For reading and meditation:
Psalm 111:10
Matthew 25:14-30
