090 Firm Foundation Lite: UNFOLDED #3 – ‘Have We Missed the Meal? Confessed-up, shut out?’

In this third Thursday Unfolded episode, I come back to something I only mentioned briefly at the end of Session 3, and that is confession and communion. For many of us, communion has become a quiet moment at the end of a service, centred around personal introspection and whether we feel clean enough or confessed-up enough to take part. But when we look again at the Passover, and at what Jesus was actually doing with His disciples the night before He was betrayed, a very different picture begins to emerge, because this was a covenant meal shared around a table, not a private religious act managed by individual conscience.In this episode, I walk through 1 Corinthians 11 to look at what Paul was really addressing in Corinth, and why his correction had nothing to do with unconfessed sin and everything to do with a divided body gathering around a shared meal. As communion is seen again as the covenant meal of the new covenant, the questions start to surface: how did the table get separated from the people, how did a family meal become a moment of fear and self-checking, and what does the way we take communion today actually say about how we see one another as the Body of Christ?You can find Nancy’s podcasts here by going to her website: https://nancymccready.com/podcast/‘Toxic Love’ by Malcolm Smithhttps://amzn.eu/d/cheJyZCParticipant Guidehttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1CghKe2NP9ZMslL3fq12ijjq6DhciUFuh?usp=sharingAbout AlexAlex is from the UK and he teaches and disciples across nations after years serving in Poland.
