Abusing Communion
Every week our church takes what we call "communion" or "the Lord's Supper." But what exactly is it, and why do we do it? What are the proper and improper ways we go about celebrating the Lord's Supper, and what can we do to ensure we partake of it properly? ABOUT THIS 1 CORINTHIANS SERIES: Life is messy. Church life is messy. Every church has problems, because every church is made up of people. But God has called His people to come together to live life alongside each other and to encourage and carry each other, even amid difficult and challenging circumstances. The Apostle Paul planted a church in Corinth, Greece, and it very quickly became a church that dealt with many problems. They lacked maturity and wisdom, despite being a very gifted church. 1 Corinthians is a fatherly challenge and guide to them to help them get back on track and grow in the wisdom they need.
