1 Corinthians 11. Day 162 - The New Testament in a Year

Proper Conduct in Worship.  The Lord’s Supper.  Respect and Unity in the Church.  

"For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”   1 Corinthians 11:23-24

In this episode of 'The New Testament in a Year,' we dive into 1 Corinthians Chapter 11, exploring themes of proper conduct in worship and the observance of the Lord’s Supper. We begin with a review of Chapter 10, where Paul warns against idolatry and emphasizes doing everything for God's glory. In Chapter 11, Paul addresses cultural practices like head coverings and corrects the Corinthians’ approach to the Lord’s Supper, stressing the importance of respect and unity within the church.

We explore key points to help new believers understand the text, including the significance of head coverings, the proper observance of the Lord’s Supper, and maintaining unity and respect in the church. Through this chapter, we see a detailed portrait of God’s orderly and holy nature, His desire for unity, and His call for reverence in worship. Join us as we read the scripture and reflect on three devotion takeaways that encourage us to improve our walk with Christ through respect in worship, unity in the church, and self-examination.
