Chapter 5, What happens during the Lord’s Supper? (1)
Mark Herzer
A way of fellowshipping with Christ Something happens during the Lord’s Supper. It is more than mere thinking. Many believe we are called to merely think about what happened in the past. They think this is the only thing that happens. There is something more than reflecting on the past. Something actually happens at the […]
Chapter 3, Do we all believe the same thing about the Lord’s Supper?
Mark Herzer
I certainly wish everyone believed the same thing about the Lord’s Supper. Some have not studied the Bible carefully while other people let tradition control their understanding of the Lord’s Supper. We want to be as clear as possible, while being humble about what we believe the Bible teaches. In the end, the Bible is […]
Why read Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening? (I)
Mark Herzer
For over a decade, I’ve never seen the value of reading Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening. Everywhere I turned, a new edition of this daily devotional popped up. Beautiful leather bound renditions, soft leatherettes, large, small, gilded, with built in bookmarks, etc. and then were the myriads of electronic versions. Yet, from what I had read […]
Chapter 2, Why couldn’t I take the Lord’s Supper?
Mark Herzer
Why can’t you take the Lord’s Supper? Is it because you are too young? Is it because you’ve sinned too much? Is it because you don’t know enough? Actually, it’s none of the above. It depends upon the answer to this question, “Are you a Christian?” It is that simple. It is one of the most important questions you can ask yourself. How you answer that question affects the rest of your life.
Chapter 1, An Introduction to the Lord’s Supper
Mark Herzer
Did you ever ask your parents or elders what the Lord’s Supper was all about? Did you think it was only allowed for big older kids? Maybe you thought it was only for grown ups? But did you know that you too might be able to take the Lord’s Supper?
You might have smelled the bread and the wine some Sundays and wished you could have eaten the bread or drunk the wine because you were hungry. Yet, you knew that it was more than just a snack. Everyone seems so serious and quiet. At times, their seriousness may make you a little uncomfortable. Your mom or dad appeared to be more serious during this time than any other time during the service. Why all this seriousness? What is going on here that is so serious?
A Student’s Guide to the Lord’s Supper, Introduction
Mark Herzer
The following very brief chapters will be uploaded dealing with the Lord’s Supper. We have used this small booklet to instruct our covenant children about the Lord’s Supper. It is written to prepare them to become communicant members. Of course, it does not mean that each child will necessarily become a communicant member since each […]

Basics in Christian Faith and Living Why read the Bible? Introduction Most Christians believe it is a good thing to read the Bible. Many feel guilty because they don’t read enough.

Receiving Counsel and Trusting in God
Mark Herzer
Appendix to CCPC’s Studies in Proverbs Proverbs 15:22 Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed. In our study of Proverbs, we have noted that many factors go into receiving counsel. We must consider the wisdom of the counselors. Are they wise? Do they tend to make wise decisions? Do they tend to […]
