[02/23/2025 PM] - "Lord’s Supper Looks Up: Mass Pulls Down"

Sunday night we will take up Colossians 3.1-3 to guide our understanding of the condemnable idolatry of the Roman Catholic Mass (Heidelberg Catechism Lord's day 30, Q/A 80) and why it is so important to understand that Christ is SEATED on the throne. These are valuable truths to get right and will help us evangelistically with our Roman Catholic neighbors.

Colossians 3.1-3 Lord's Supper Looks Up: Mass Pulls Down
Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 30

Theme: As we participate biblically in the Lord's supper, we agree with God's Word

1. Is it right to call out error – should Q/A 80 be included?

2. The premise of a biblical Lord's supper is The Finished Work

3. The premise of the Roman Catholic Mass is earning favor

4. We commune with Christ who is seated in glory
