We enjoyed a good conference this past Sunday night and Monday. I am grateful to Pastor Steve Abrams and the fine people who make up First Baptist Church in Keil. Their hospitality and graciousness in hosting us was second to none.
I’m also grateful to Robert Sweatt and Joel Smith for their outstanding work in their respective sessions.
I wanted to pass along some suggested resources for studying the Lord’s Supper. I’ve used all of these at one point or another and have benefitted from them. Those listed in bold are my top recommendations.
If you could only purchase two or three books, I would suggest starting with Schreiner, Jaimeson, and Hammett's 40 Questions book.
