One question that comes up from time to time is “Why does TPC take communion seated?”

This may not seem like a big deal, but the proper posture for the Lord’s Supper has caused serious debate in the history of the church, and continues to be an issue over which different Christian traditions are divided.

Yes, the Puritans did believe the conversion of the Jews would be the capstone of the Great Commission, based on Romans 11:25-26.

But their point was not that ethnic Jews were special; their point was Jews would not be left out of the promised global Christianization that was coming.

The “Puritan Hope,” as Iain Murray called it, was not some kind of nascent dispensationalism, as some have suggested. It was just historic postmillennialism, including the view that the…

The Lord’s Supper shows us that creation participates in Christ’s death and resurrection. By identifying his body and blood with bread and wine, Jesus shows that he came to redeem the whole world. This fallen creation will be set free. Grace crucifies and resurrects nature. The kingdom is not an escape from this world, nor is it “other worldly.” The kingdom is *this* world transformed, renewed, and restored through the death and resurrection of Christ.

Bread and wine are not merely nature, but culture. Bread and wine are the product of human labor acting upon nature. So the Lord’s Supper shows us that the scope of Christ’s redemptive work includes the products of human culture. The fruits of man taking dominion over the created order will be treasures brought into the new heavens and earth. The products of our fulfillment of the creation mandate will be woven into God’s new creation.

The Lord’s Supper is the whole kingdom summed up in a simple meal. The Lord’s Supper is faith, hope, and love rolled into one: Faith because we trust Christ gives himself to us in and through the elements; hope because we know this feast is a foretaste of the final eschatological banquet to come; and love because here is divine love made food, the preeminent way we experience Christ’s love for us and express our love for fellow disciples.

The Lord’s Supper is an eschatological banquet, a sign of things to come. When the spies went into the Promised Land, they brought back giant clusters of grapes (Numbers 13) — a sign of what would be Israel’s once they took possession of the land. The Lord’s Supper — its culture, its elements, its festivity, its joy, it fellowship — is a preview of the new creation.

The Lord’s Supper shows us that creation participates in Christ’s death and resurrection. By identifying his body and blood with bread and wine, Jesus shows that he came to redeem the whole world. …

Today is Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of the season of Lent.

Tonight's service is much more somber and penitential in tone, as we reflect on the nature of sin, its consequences (including our mortality), and the need for repentance.

But ultimately, Ash Wednesday and Lent are not primarily about us.

The focus is first and foremost upon the sufferings and death of Christ on our behalf. Just as we meditate on Christ's incarnation at Easter, his manifestation to the nations at Epiphany, and his triumph over the grave at Easter, so Lent is a season to contemplate Christ's path to glory through suffering. It is only in Christ's "perfection through suffering" and "tasting of death" for us that we can be brought to glory (Heb 2:9-13).

Christ secured our forgiveness through his suffering and death, but he also secured our sanctification (being made holy) and our glorification. Through our union with him, our sufferings become a sharing in his suffering unto glory (2 Cor. 1:3-7).

Scripture calls us to "look to Jesus" who endured the cross and despised the shame because of the joy and glory that was set before him (Heb 12:2). And because Christ suffered on our behalf, he left us an example so that we might follow in his steps (1 Peter 2:21).

It is through his suffering and death in our place that we can fulfill the call to take up our cross and follow our elder brother to glory (Lk 9:23-26).

We are very excited about the upcoming Trinity Conference!

This year’s theme takes aim at the soft underbelly of Southern evangelicalism: apathy dressed up as niceness, therapy in place of truth, and a church pushed to the margins of life.

We’re calling Christians to repent of compromise and recover their zeal: for Christ, for the church, and for the Kingdom.

The church must become the center again: of the heart, the home, and the public square. No more looking to influencers for courage or to therapists for soul care.

It’s time to find your guts, plant your flag, and live like the kingdom is at hand.
