CUP & TABLE – 7-6-25 – I Corinthians 10:14-22

We’ve considered at length the contrasts illustrated in Proverbs 9 by way of a dinner invitation to Lady Wisdom’s house vs. the meal served at the Woman Folly’s place.  The first is a promise of provision unto eternal life, the second is a gateway to Sheol disguised as a party. Which table will you gather around for dinner? Choose carefully because this situation represents where you turn for provision, the company you keep, the ritual worship you practice, the covenant relationships you countenance, and the foretaste of eternity. The Apostle Paul picks up on this theme addressing issues and diagnosing the spiritual condition of the church in Corinth. He calls them to the repentance, fear, and faithfulness worthy of the table of the Lord.  This text couldn’t be more relevant for our assembly today as we have gathered in this place to take communion and share a meal together
