Most Christian groups, including Oneness Pentecostals, believe in celebrating the Lord's Supper.

But how frequently should this celebration be observed?

Stay tuned to hear Dr. David K. Bernard's answer to this important question.

Welcome to Apostolic Life in the 21st Century, a podcast dedicated to helping modern day believers live out the teachings

of the first century church. This podcast is part of a teaching ministry of Dr. David K. Bernard.

Dr. Bernard is dedicated his life to studying the Bible and helping believers apply its message to

their daily lives. Thank you for joining us for this episode.

Communion or the Lord's Supper was one of the sacraments of the Christian Church, of course,

as you know, and we know it was implemented by Jesus himself on the night before he was crucified.

Most Christian groups, of course, observe the Lord's Supper, including Catholics, most Protestant

groups, and most Pentecostals's Supper, including Catholics, most Protestant groups,

and most Pentecostals. The question is, and there's a lot of debate about this, how frequently

should we celebrate communion? So on the one hand, we have Christian groups like the Catholic

Church that celebrate communion or Mass every single Sunday. And then on the other hand, we have

some that celebrate much less frequently

than that. Does the Bible give us any clues as to how frequently the first century Christians

celebrated communion? And how frequently do you feel like that one is Pentecostal should observe

the Lord's Supper? Well, first of all, let me say that communion is a very important doctrine of the

church. And I think sometimes we don't

emphasize it as much as we should. Now, there are two extremes that I think we should avoid. On the

one hand, the Roman Catholic Church teaches that the elements of the bread and the fruit of the

vine actually turn into the physical body and blood of Jesus.
