Introduction
Happy 4th of July
Tomorrow is July 4th, Independence Day.
Most Americans would agree that this is worthy of proclaiming.
Worthy of celebrating
Worthy Remembering
Worthy of examining our own role as a citizen of this country
What we as individuals and as a church proclaim or do not proclaim says a lot about who we are and what we believe.
For instance if I had said nothing about Independence Day my silence would have sent as much a message as me saying something.
On this Sunday morning we are going to celebrate and proclaim the Lord’s Death through Communion.
This entire sermon is devoted to that.
My goal/aim this morning is help you understand...
What Communion is
Why we do Communion
How we should take Communion
In other words I hope to clear up any confusion you may have regarding Communion
Three Main Terms for Communion
Communion - stresses the emphasis that the body of Christ is coming together (communing) together to show our communion with Christ
Eucharist - literally means “to give thanks”; Jesus broke the bread and “gave thanks” eucharistas
Lord’s Supper - Biblical name for it, Paul uses this name as we will see in 1 Corinthians and it is as simple as it sounds, It is a supper/meal that was established by the Lord, therefore we call it the “Lord’s Supper”
Propositional Statement: We are here to celebrate the Lord’s Supper
Transitional Question: How exactly are we supposed to celebrate the Lord’s Supper?
Transitional Phrase: Paul gives us instructions on how to celebrate the Lord’s Supper in 1 Cor.
11
Read: 1 Corinthians 11:17-34
1 Corinthians 11:17–34 (ESV)
But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.
For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you.
And I believe it in part, for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized.
When you come together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat.
For in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal.
One goes hungry, another gets drunk.
What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in?
Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing?
What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this?
No, I will not.
For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you.
Do this in remembrance of me.”
