Closed Communion and the Grammar of Sacrifice
Description
In this Bible study, we discuss Christian unity, the family nature of the Church, and why communion is inseparable from shared confession. From 1 Corinthians to Leviticus, we consider how God forms His people through His Word, His gifts, and His ordered patterns of worship.
