Free Internet Seminary Course:
The Lord's Supper: Rehearsal Dinner for the Wedding Banquet of the Lamb
NTRF has collaborated with the Internet Biblical Seminary to produce an interactive, on-line seminary class on the Lord's Supper as an actual fellowship meal.

The result is a full length course, divided up into digestible nuggets, with short videos, articles, lessons, self-graded tests (multiple choice, T-F, and fill in the blank questions), all accessible worldwide, on-line, and for free!
The content of the course shows beyond cavil that what goes for the "Lord's Supper" in contemporary churches is merely a pale memory of what in New Testament times was a living, vital, central part of Christian faith and practice. It was a complete banquet, celebrated joyously not somberly, eaten weekly, in a normal family atmosphere. It was eaten in the home, not in church buildings. It focused on the glorious future of the Kingdom, not on the sad events of Good Friday.


This course has additional material that relates the Lord's Supper as a sign of the New Covenant to the signs and covenants of the Hebrew Scriptures. It has church history in it. It talks about how the Lord's Supper meal was a way to show compassion and charity to the poor of the flock. It shows how the Lord's Supper was a time of fellowship. The course covers briefly some of the Reformation controversies, but it has more than mere history and doctrine, it also emphasizes much the practical aspects of how to do the Lord's Supper biblically, rather than the traditional sip and chip.
