The Lord’s Supper
“Worship is a way of gladly reflecting back to God the radiance
of His worth.”--John Piper
The Lord’s Supper should not be taken lightly but
with all of the honor and dignity expected at the
remembrance of Christ’s Death on the Cross.

Paul then says that the Lord’s
Supper is a community affair.
The Lord’s Supper
33 So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait
for each other. 34 If anyone is hungry, he
should eat at home, so that when you meet together it
may not result in judgment. And when I come I will give
further directions. (1 Cor 11: 33-34, NIV)
The Lord’s Supper
We are to come together for the Lord’s Supper.
The Lord’s Supper
Jesus on the cross paid the penalty for our sin—we should be
willing to be servants to the world as well.

23For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night
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.”

The Lord’s Supper
25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup,
saying,
“This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this,
whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he
comes.
(1 Cor 11: 23-26, NIV)
