Originally, the Lord's Supper was a complete banquet, celebrated joyously not somberly, eaten weekly, in a normal family atmosphere. It was eaten in the home, not in church buildings. It focused on the glorious future of the Kingdom, not on the sad events of Good Friday.
This course has additional material that relates the Lord’s Supper as a sign of the New Covenant to the signs and covenants of the Hebrew Scriptures. It has church history in it. It talks about how the Lord’s Supper meal was a way to show compassion and charity to the poor of the flock. It shows how the Lord’s Supper was a time of fellowship. The course covers briefly some of the Reformation controversies, but it has more than mere history and doctrine, it also emphasizes much the practical aspects of how to do the Lord’s Supper biblically, rather than the traditional sip and chip.
