In this episode, Director of Outreach and Discipleship Dalton Leslie walks us through 1 Corinthians 11:17–34, examining how the Corinthian church had turned a sacred meal of unity into a display of division. By favoring the social elite and disregarding the poor, the Corinthians were failing to "recognize the body" of believers, leading to a stern warning from the Apostle Paul.

Using the imagery of the classic song "Big House," Dalton reminds us that God’s table is not small or exclusive—it is "big, big" and intended for people from every demographic and background. This message explores the serious nature of the Lord's Supper, the beauty of the new covenant, and how we can protect our gospel witness by making reconciliation and humility our highest priorities.
