WEEK 8 – BAPTISM AND THE LORD’S SUPPER

Christians are given two sacraments (or ordinances) to mark his true church: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper (or Communion). There are many differences between faith tradition on their meaning and how they are performed.

Since these “means of grace” are vital commands given by Christ, it is important that we know what it means to participate in them faithfully.
