More Than a Snack: Recovering the Vitality of the Lord's Table - a podcast by Jonathan Michael Jones

Recent personal discussions and
observations of Eucharistic practices have made it abundantly clear to me that
the vitality of the Lord’s Supper must be recovered in the church. I believe
most local churches’ view of the Lord’s Table has veered so far off course that
a track toward recovery is necessary. Not only do Pew and Barna statistics
reveal a lack of deep spirituality in the church, but my own (and others’)
personal observations have led me to this conclusion. Communion is not an
option for the believer, i.e. it is a command and a crucial command at that;
yet, many local churches seem to diminish the importance of the ordinance.
Thus, those who hear my call right now, let us faithfully begin to recover the
vitality and fundamental importance of the Lord’s Table in our local churches,
for recovering can only happen in local churches.

            My
personal conviction of the importance of the Lord’s Table has greatly increased
over the past four years. Before beginning a process of recovery, we must
understand why the vitality must be recovered. I would like to discuss the
vitality of the Lord’s Table in a succinct and concise manner. I have four
thoughts I would like to expound upon to argue for the vitality of the Lord’s
Table and its recovery.
