WORSHIP THROUGH THE STUDY OF GOD'S WORD - Pastor Nathan Deatrick
Christ's Humility & Christian Unity
(1 Corinthians 11:17-34)
Intro: Many times when a pastor or elder leads the Lord's Supper he stays in vss. 23-26. It is so easy to become almost formulaic with these verses, and yet, if we're not careful, we miss the richness of the truth that is here. Here's what I want us to understand from this text today: A disciplined gaze upon the selfless, sacrificial humility of Christ strengthens the unity of believers in the church! Notice with me, first of all...
The Context - "when you come together" (Chs. 11-14)
The Conduct of the Corinthians (vss. 17-22)
a. Divisive ("despising" and "shaming")
b. Detrimental to Church's Health
c. Disappointing ("I praise you not")
The Contrast (vss. 23-26) of Christ's Humility
a. Who Christ is...
b. What He's like...
c. What He's done...
The Call (vss. 27-34) to believers
a. Examine yourself
b. Discern; value the Lord's Body, the church.
c. Judge yourself
d. Wait for one another
Conclusion: Christ humbly gave His physical body to be broken, so that the church, which is His Body, could be a unified whole. May our heart be to model His humility among ourselves, so that our unity is prized and kept!
