Episode 113: 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 - The Lord's Supper, A Sign Seal, and Sharing with Christ and Each Other

What is really happening when the church comes to the Table?In this message from 1 Corinthians 11:17–34, Pastor Elliott walks us through the beauty, depth, and seriousness of the Lord’s Supper. Far more than a religious routine, Communion is a sacred gift from Jesus—prescribed by Him, proclaimed among His people, practiced by the Church, and reserved for those who belong to Him.This sermon explores how the Lord’s Supper points us to Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice, seals the promises of the gospel, and unites believers in shared life with Jesus and one another. Along the way, we examine the early church’s failures in Corinth, the danger of approaching the Table selfishly, and the call to self-examination, repentance, and humble unity.You’ll also hear how Communion situates us in God’s great story—remembering Christ’s death, awaiting His return, and being shaped in holiness today.Whether you’ve taken the Lord’s Supper your whole life or are still learning its meaning, this message invites you to come to the Table with gratitude, reverence, and renewed faith.“Because we all receive freely from Christ, we are called to freely give.”
