Sermon Notes

THE LORD’S SUPPER

Taking God’s grace for granted

Viewing sin as not so sinful

Minimizing my pursuit of Jesus

Pulling away from relationships

Living as though it is all about me

1 CORINTHIANS 11:23 - 26

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, 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.” 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.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

WE REMEMBER THAT OUR NEED IS GREAT.

“It is the One who has given something for us at Calvary asking each of us to remember His death, to put that at the very center of our Christian experience. It is He who loved us even unto death calling us out from the busyness, and often the barrenness, of all our pressure and work, that we might wait upon Him in the stillness of our hearts and worship Him.” —Alan Redpath

“Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He is no half God and half man, all God and no man, all man, and no God. He is not simply a man uniquely in touch with the divine. No, He is the God-man who is like no one else who will ever live. He has always been with the Father, and at Bethlehem, He came to be with us.”—Daniel Akin

“He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21

WE DECLARE THAT GOD CAN MEET OUR GREATEST NEED.

WE CELEBRATE GOD’S PROMISE OF HIS GLORIOUS RETURN.

1 CORINTHIANS 11:27 – 29

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.

“To come unworthily to Communion does not simply dishonor the ceremony; it dishonors the One in whose honor it is being celebrated.”—John MacArthur
