Partaking Worthily
Apr 13, 2025 • Pastor Joe Dickinson
This sermon, based on 1 Corinthians 11, emphasizes the seriousness of partaking in the Lord’s Supper and the importance of doing so with reverence. The Apostle Paul rebuked the Corinthians not for observing the ordinance itself, but for the careless and irreverent way they were doing it, which was bringing judgment rather than blessing. Taking the Lord’s Supper irreverently - by being divided, forgetting Christ’s sacrifice, or failing to examine oneself - dishonors not just the ceremony but Christ’s very body and blood. The message urges believers to approach the Lord’s Supper with unity, remembrance, and self-examination, treating it not as a casual ritual but as a sacred act of worship.
