DESCRIPTION

The church's ministry of the Lord's Supper is vital, but students and pastors often think of this sacrament almost completely in terms of theological differences. Congregations hear few sermons about how God builds his people's faith, hope, and love at Lord's Table.

In this brief, practical book for those who serve the Lord's Supper, Howard Griffith provides a biblical theology of the Lord's Supper and instructions on inviting participants to the Table. In the final part, twenty-eight pastoral meditations span the Old and New Testaments, showing the rich benefits of our union with Christ. Spreading the Feast will help students and pastors form their own words of explanation and exhortation as they minister at the Table, proving especially helpful to those who celebrate weekly communion.
