How Should We Prepare for Holy Communion?

Pastor Terry Brosius

Purpose statement: Paul corrects the Corinthians with how they are messing up the Lord’s Table. The early Church had a love feast (Agape feast) and ate a common meal together. At the end of the meal, they would have the common cup. Paul addressed their love feast as they were doing more harm than good. The people in Corinth were getting sloppy remembering and celebrating what Christ did on the Cross. They violated what they were celebrating. They needed better self-examination. How do we celebrate various holidays? They expressed selfish, unloving, and uncaring in their relationships in the body of Christ. What should we be mindful of? (vs. 23-25). The past: Do this in remembrance of me, that Jesus died on the cross. (Other Scripture: Isaiah 53:3-6; 1 Peter 2:24). Vs. 26. Be mindful. How?
