The ordinance known as “The Lord’s Supper” or “Communion” is taught and practiced by most Christian churches, though the manner, the time, and even the purpose is not consistent. What do the Scriptures teach about this so-called ordinance? Is it truly for the Church, the body of Christ, during this present dispensation of grace? In this series, we examine the two primary passages of Scripture that deal with this subject: 1) the gospel accounts of Jesus’ final Passover with the apostles before His death (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) and 2) Paul’s 1st letter to the Corinthians.
These Bible messages on the Lord’s Supper were taught by Pastor Gregg Bing in 2015-2016 during the adult Sunday school class at Grace Bible Church in Fort Worth, TX.

Total Depravity - 1
We begin our look at the 5 points of Calvinism, represented by the TULIP acronym, considering the first point, Total Depravity. While the Scriptures certainly teach that mankind, in its fallen state, is depraved, corrupted by sin, Calvinist teaching takes this concept beyond what the Scriptures teach. We begin examining Calvinist teaching that Total Depravity which stresses the Total Inability of an unsaved person to do anything spiritually good, to please God in any way, or even to understand the gospel and believe. Calvinists contend that an unsaved person, being spiritually dead, must be regenerated (given new, spiritual life by God) before he or she is able to believe the gospel and be saved; but what do the Scriptures teach about this idea?
