Lord's
Supper on Sunday night? The Lord's Supper, how often? 2. The earliest historical evidence outside the Bible confirms the day and
frequency... a. The Didache (ca. 95 A.D.) indicates Christians were to come
together on the first day of the week to break bread - Didache 14:1 b. Justin
Martyr (ca. 150 A.D.) records how Christians assembled on Sunday and partook of
the Supper - Apology I, 67 3. Some believe that a weekly observance diminishes the importance of the
Supper a. Which is why some do it monthly, quarterly, or annually b. But does
the frequent practice of: 1) Assembling diminishing its value and importance? 2)
Singing praises and offering prayers devalue their benefits? 3) Preaching and
studying God's Word decrease their significance to our lives? -- Our spiritual
lives are dependent upon the value and benefits of our Lord's death on the
cross; a weekly observance of the memorial helps us to live appreciatively and
accordingly!
