Does your pastor speak to the unrepentant before or after they take Holy Communion about their sin?

That is something that is hard for the average person to know. Other than the liturgy, only the Pastor and the person would know if one is unrepentant.

How about openly living in a type of sin?

No, before Communion, our pastor qualifies the partakers by saying that only those who are sorry for their sins and trust only in Jesus for forgiveness, or words to that effect, should partake of the bread and juice.

So in that moment, do you think he's addressing their unrepentant sins in a way...making them realize that they should repent?
