The Cost of Grace: Surrendering Sin at the Cross
The sermon effectively highlights the magnitude of Christ's sacrifice and provides a practical application for believers to surrender their struggles. However, the administration of the Lord's Supper lacked the necessary biblical fencing, which compromises the sanctity of the sacrament and requires immediate correction.
Biblical Parallel (Archetype): Pergamum — The sermon exhibits homiletical compromise by failing to fence the Lord's Supper, treating a holy sacrament as an unqualified activity rather than a guarded covenant meal. This reflects a weak boundary around holy things, characteristic of the Pergamum archetype.
