A Covenant Feast: Communing With Christ at the Lord’s Table

What happens when the church gathers at the Lord’s Table?

For many, the Supper is familiar—but not always understood. The words are repeated, the elements received, yet the depth of what is taking place can remain largely unexplored. In A Covenant Feast, J. Ryan Davidson invites readers to recover a richer, more biblical vision of the Lord’s Supper as a true means of grace and communion with Christ.

Drawing from Scripture and the historic Reformed tradition, this concise and pastoral work unfolds the Supper as more than a memorial. It is a visible word, a covenant meal, and a means by which Christ nourishes his people by faith.

Originally preached as a series of sermons, the book is clear, accessible, and deeply rooted in the teaching of Scripture. Davidson walks readers through key biblical texts—particularly the institution of the Supper and Paul’s teaching—helping believers understand not only what the Supper signifies, but how to come to the Table rightly.

This book will help you see that the Lord’s Supper is: A proclamation of Christ’s finished work, a reaffirmation of God’s covenant promises, a participation in the blessings of the gospel, and a foretaste of the feast to come.

Written from a confessional Baptist perspective, A Covenant Feast is ideal for pastors, churches, and individual believers seeking to deepen their understanding of gathered worship and the ordinary means of grace.

In this book, you are invited to come to the table, not as a mere observer, but as one who communes with Christ.

“This is a remarkable book. I have always had difficulties being rightly moved by the Lord’s Supper, but this book has helped me enormously. The writing comprehensively covers the whole biblical covenant picture, from the gospels’ descriptions of the institution of the ordinance, to Paul’s writing on the subject in 1 Corinthians. Theologians and commentators throughout history help cast their light on the Supper, alongside the author’s personal references. J. Ryan Davidson is a pastor who has learned to communicate the great truths of God to common people, so the writing grips the reader. This book is a page-turner. Inside, you will find fresh insights and practical helps to learn about communion with the Lord at his Supper.”

“J. Ryan Davidson has gifted the church with a prescient reminder of the sweet communion believers enjoy at the Lord’s Table; an account which is both thoroughly biblical and confessional. A Covenant Feast corrects the individualising instincts of our age which too often leads us to under-appreciate the feast of grace which the gathered church receives in this covenant meal. This book reminds us of the presence of Christ at the Table; he beckons his beloved to feast by faith upon him and be blessed. This short volume is pastoral, warm, and deeply moving. I heartily commend it to you.”

“In a small compass, Ryan Davidson has helpfully reaffirmed the classic, and earliest, Baptist position on the Lord’s Supper: it is nothing less than a means of grace. In this short, biblical and well-argued book, Pastor Davidson lays out his case, which contemporary Baptist readers would do well to read and heed.”

What is the Lord’s Supper in Reformed theology?

In Reformed theology, the Lord’s Supper is one of the two ordinances (or sacraments) given by Christ to his church, alongside baptism. It is not merely symbolic, but a true means of grace, through which God spiritually nourishes his people. As A Covenant Feast explains, the Supper is a “visible word”—a tangible proclamation of the gospel—where believers, by faith, partake of Christ and receive the benefits of his finished work.

Is the Lord’s Supper just a memorial?

No. While the Lord’s Supper certainly involves remembrance—proclaiming Christ’s death until he comes—it is far more than a memorial. The book emphasises that the Supper is an active participation in the gospel, where believers do not simply look back, but also receive and rest in Christ’s promises in the present. It is a covenant meal in which God reassures his people of forgiveness, strengthens their faith, and draws them into deeper fellowship with Christ and his church.

What does it mean to commune with Christ at the Lord’s Table?

To commune with Christ at the Lord’s Table means to spiritually partake of him by faith. The bread and wine do not become Christ physically, but they truly signify and convey his benefits to believers. As the book explains, the Supper is not an individualistic act, but a joyful, communal participation in Christ, where the church together shares in the blessings of the covenant of grace. In this way, believers are nourished, strengthened, and reminded that Christ is truly present with his people by his Spirit.

How should Christians prepare for the Lord’s Supper?

Christians should come to the Lord’s Table with faith, repentance, and self-examination. This does not mean coming in fear or uncertainty, but coming honestly—bringing sin in confession while trusting fully in Christ’s finished work. As A Covenant Feast highlights, the Supper is a place of covenant reaffirmation, where believers are reminded again that Christ’s body was broken and his blood was shed for them. Preparation, therefore, involves both humility and confidence: humility in recognising our need, and confidence in resting in God’s promises.

Why is the Lord’s Supper called a covenant meal?

The Lord’s Supper is called a covenant meal because it visibly confirms the promises of the new covenant in Christ’s blood. In Scripture, covenant relationships are often sealed and celebrated through shared meals, and the Supper continues this pattern. As the book explains, when believers come to the Table, they are not re-entering the covenant, but having its promises reaffirmed to them. The meal points back to Christ’s sacrifice, strengthens faith in the present, and looks forward to the future “marriage supper of the Lamb,” making it both a sign and a foretaste of eternal communion with Christ.
