For those who hold to the view that the Supper culminates the preached Word and/or the worship service, I’m curious to draw out potential conclusions from that stance.
I assume those holding that view would advocate weekly observance.
Take this excerpt from Kim Riddlebarger as an example of the view I’m referencing:
“As we see in the apostolic pattern set forth in Acts 2:42, the apostle’s teaching and the fellowship seems to culminate in the “breaking of bread” and “the prayers.” Because the observance of the Lord’s Supper is the logical (and liturgical) culmination of the preaching of the word, the frequent celebration of the Lord’s Supper provides the fitting, natural and, dare I say, “biblical” culmination of the worship service.”
Would those advocating this view say that you should also observe the Supper every evening service, so twice per week?
Are worship services that don’t include weekly observance, and hence are missing the culminating element, deficient or depriving the congregation in some way?
Hopefully my questions are clear enough. I’m in the midst of studying the Supper.
