  3. What is the Lord’s Supper? It is a proclamation of the gospel made by those who embrace the gospel, those whose identity is shaped by the gospel. “The Lord’s Supper in Paul: An identity-forming proclamation of the Gospel.” James M. Hamilton Jr.

  4. A. The Agape Feast (11:17-22) 17 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. 18 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, 19 for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized. 20 When you come together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat. 21 For in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal. One goes hungry, another gets drunk. 22 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.

  5. A. The Agape Feast (11:17-22) 1. Disunity demolished by the Gospel (Ch. 1-4) 1 Cor1:26-31For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

  6. A. The Agape Feast (11:17-22) 1. Disunity demolished by the Gospel (Ch. 1-4) Paul presents the gospel to the Corinthians in these chapters as a message that will unite the church because it nullifies all the things that divide worldly minded people from one another. Christians have nothing but what they have received, and thus they cannot boast as though they somehow earned what they have (4:7). Paul demolishes the factionalism in Corinth by demonstrating that the gospel of Jesus Christ is a leveler of persons. - James M. Hamilton Jr.

  7. A. The Agape Feast (11:17-22) 1. Disunity demolished by the Gospel (Ch. 1-4) 2. Pervasive influence of Roman culture The observance of the Lord’s Supper seems to amount to socio-economic distinctions of the pagan Roman culture.

  8. A. The Agape Feast (11:17-22) 1. Disunity demolished by the Gospel (Ch. 1-4) 2. Pervasive influence of Roman culture 1 Corinthians 12:12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.

  9. A. The Agape Feast (11:17-22) 1. Disunity demolished by the Gospel (Ch. 1-4) 2. Pervasive influence of Roman culture “The Lord’s Supper should have been the remembrance of a preeminently selfless act, Christ’s death on behalf of others. Instead the Corinthians had turned the memorial of selflessness into an experience of selfishness and had made a rite of unity a riotous disunity.” Walvoord, J. F., Zuck, R. B., & Dallas Theological Seminary. (1983-). The Bible knowledge commentary : An exposition of the scriptures (1 Co 11:20–21).

  10. A. The Agape Feast (11:17-22) 1. Disunity demolished by the Gospel (Ch. 1-4) 2. Pervasive influence of Roman culture 3. Solidarity expressed in the Lord’ Supper 1 Corinthians 10:16-17The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.

  11. B. The Lord’s Supper (11:23-26) 23 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, 24 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.” 25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

  15. B. The Lord’s Supper (11:23-26) The Lord’s Supper is a divinely ordained and illustrative portrayal of the gospel where we… 1. Give thanks (v. 24) 2. Enjoy fellowship (vv. 17-18, 20) 3. Remember Christ’s sacrifice (vv. 24-25) 4. Proclaim His death (v. 26a) * Spoken word an enacted word, a visible word.

  16. B. The Lord’s Supper (11:23-26) The Lord’s Supper is a divinely ordained and illustrative portrayal of the gospel where we… 1. Give thanks (v. 24) 2. Enjoy fellowship (vv. 17-18, 20) 3.

  18. C. A Stern Warning (11:27-34) Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died. But if we judged ourselves truly, we would not be judged. But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world. So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another— if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home—so that when you come together it will not be for judgment. About the other things I will give directions when I come.

  19. C. A Stern Warning (11:27-34) Rom 15:5-7 May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.

  20. C. A Stern Warning (11:27-34) What is the Lord’s Supper? It is a proclamation of the gospel made by those who embrace the gospel, those whose identity is shaped by the gospel.
