Great to be here
When I first got the invite I was super excited
Then CH Cerula emailed me and said 20-5 minutes
Thought super easy I can do this
Then he said please preach on
I thought about backing out
Talk about a tough chapter to preach on
Who wants to preach on a chapter that involves
Roles between men and women
Self examination
The Lords supper
YUCK
I know why he agreed to let me preach
So in hopes of not offending anyone
Lets get started
Open your Bibles please to:
So what’s going on here
First let me navigate you where I am going to go today
First we are going to take a look
Divisions; especially between the rich and the poor
The purpose of the Lords Supper
The Unity Paul is calling us to
Understand this
1 Corinthians is like a church model on how not to do church
In fact I personally believe God purposefully put it here
All throughout this book Paul is correcting
So Paul is angry
Almost like a parent
He moving down the line
Paul is angry
First off lets understand the Lords Supper
Many of us think of communion
Taking the bread and the wine/grape juice
In those days more like a feast
BBQ or pot luck
You can really see this in the early church
Acts 2:
:43
You see our tradition
Wasn’t theirs
The Lords supper was meant to celebrate and express unity amongst fellow believers
Paul is addressing specific behavior at the Lord Supper
He starts off by going to the heart of the issue.
Divisions between rich and poor
Divisions between rich and poor
Divisions seemed to be hot button issue in this church.
One thing I highly recommend is reading 1 Corinthians all in one sitting
Read any of Pauls letters all in one sitting
Look with me at verse
1 Cor
I want you to take a moment and imagine yourself reading this
Here is your mentor, your commanding officer
He telling you and your entire platoon
You can’t do anything right
Imagine how that would feel
Yet sometimes we need that don’t we?
Sometimes we need someone to point out our flaws
Point out where we are failing
This needs to happen or we will never get better
This is exactly what Paul is doing
Harsh words but needed
The rebuke is almost entirely at the rich
No interest in the Lords Supper
No interest in breaking bread
No interest in unity
No interest in caring for others
No interest in love
No concern for the poor.
Look at verse 21
Some go hungry while others are drunk?
Some go hungry while others are drunk?
Complete opposite of what is supposed to be happening here
Paul boldly states they are disgracing the church of God
The poor already had nothing in human, worldly terms.
In Corinth they also had their sense of dignity stolen by fellow believers—and this at the Lord’s Supper.

Paul is letting them have it
He’s saying I have no praise for you
You’re disgracing the church of God
You are dividing the church
You are doing more harm than good
Caring for the poor is sort of a central theme in Christianity
Wouldn’t you agree?
Look at
Now please
Turn with me:
What did Jesus say to the rich young ruler?
Jams 2:1-4
I grew up in a church that was devoted to correcting this issue
My dads church was not your normal church
surrounded by homeless
I was just there in November
Had the pleasure of preaching there
