Sermon Series: Worship Wars (Studies in 1 Corinthians 11-14)

Sermon:  (Part 2) Communion is Union with God and One Another

Summary: In his first letter to the Corinthian church, Paul addresses several questions and concerns with this congregation.  Some of the problems related to worship including gender roles, the Lord's Supper, spiritual gifts, and orderliness in worship.  As the church today faces "worship wars," there are foundational principles found in these four chapters that can help us navigate contemporary questions about worship.  In part 2, we explore Paul's discussion of communion and the divisions in the worship assembly at Corinth (1 Cor. 11:17-34).  Paul reminds these believers that communion is about being united with Christ and united together as one body.
