Show Notes

Faith Life Weekend 2015 Session 4

The earliest Christian communal meals (the center of church life) were patterned after the Roman banquet, and were thus familiar to everyone. But the Christian banquet differed from the Roman banquet in four very significant ways…

1. Who was honored. (Not Jupiter, not Caesar, but Jesus Christ.)

2. What kingdom was celebrated. (Not the Roman Empire, but the Kingdom of Christ.)

3. How participants were seated. (Men, women, slaves, landowners, all together, all equal.)

4. Who was the host. (Though there was a sponsor, the true Host was Jesus—it was the “Lord’s Supper.”)
