Young Adults • 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 • The Lord's Supper

As we continue our study in the Book Of Corinthians. In this passage, Paul rebukes the Corinthian church for their improper conduct during the Lord’s Supper. Instead of promoting unity, their gatherings were marked by division, selfishness, and disregard for others—especially the poor. Some were eating and drinking excessively while others went hungry. Paul reminds them of the true meaning of the Lord’s Supper: a remembrance of Jesus' body and blood given for them. He warns that taking communion in an unworthy manner brings judgment, which explains why some among them were weak or even had died. Paul urges self-examination, mutual consideration, and reverence when partaking in the Lord’s Supper.
