Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request. If you've been blessed by our

This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do to ensure that this content

gets out to as many people as possible. Thanks.

Lauren Schmidt says, what's the best argument against a bride and groom alone

participating in the Lord's Supper at a wedding ceremony? Fantastic question. Let me go

ahead and pull up a text here. So for this, we need one of the best texts. It's going to be

1st Corinthians chapter 11. Again, the question is from Lauren Schmidt. Thanks for writing in, Lauren. It says, what's the best argument against a bride and groom alone participating in the Lord's Supper at a wedding ceremony? So first, I'm going to assume with this question that what Lauren is saying is not just it being improper to administer the Lord's

supper at a wedding. But she's particularly specifically talking about the Lord's Supper being

administered at a wedding only to the bride and group. And that I would be strongly against.

I would be against both, but I would be more strongly against the Lord's supper being given to the bride and the groom only, only.

And this happens at times in weddings.

As a part of the wedding ceremony, the bride and groom,

take the Lord's supper to acknowledge that the Lord is a part of this covenant

that they're making with one another. I appreciate the intention behind it. I think it's a good intention, but I do think that

it's unbiblical misplaced. And that would be particularly wrong because if you have a Christian

husband and wife getting married, I'm assuming that only a Christian husband and wife would

really have the motivation to take the Lord's supper in their wedding. But that implies or assumes that if

it's a Christian husband and wife, they probably have invited Christian friends and family. There may be

unbelievers present, but there are certainly some other believers that are present in the wedding ceremony.

So then what you have is you have two Christians being served the Lord's Supper,

while other Christians are spectating, but they're being effectively barred from the Lord's table.
