INTRO
Paul continues the discussion of “orderly worship”
vv. 17-34 he is teaching on the Lord’s Supper
They were coming together to observe the Lord’s Supper
They were coming together… but not for the right reasons.

We need to learn how important it is WHY we come together.
Come together for the better of others – vv. 18-22
because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse
Does more harm than good
When we gather we should build one another up
Church is not just about us… it is about others also
We have turned church attendance about us
Paul knew the church was divided. (not together)
They were thinking about themselves
Individuals or united?
Eph 4:1-6 – We need to be unified
In our calling
In our relationships
In the Gospel
Spirit
Son
Father
Ephesians 4:1–6 - [1] I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, [2] with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, [3] eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. [4] There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call—[5] one Lord, one faith, one baptism, [6] one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. (ESV)Remember… We call it CORPORATE WORSHIP
unified bodies of individuals
Come together for the sake of the Gospel – vv. 23-26
The Body
The sacrifice paid for us
The Blood
The forgiveness of our sin
Come together for the good of your heart – vv. 27-34
Eats and Drinks in an unworthy manner
Unworthy when we come together
We come to remember His sacrifice, yet we are not willing to do the same
Hypocritical worship
Our attitude
Our actions
Examine yourself
Look within (our heart)
Our assurance
Our sanctification
Disciplined
Gets us back to where we need to be
Our attitude and action
Consider it Divine Mercy
