The Lord's Supper // Chris Meads // 1 Corinthians

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Chris Meads unpacks 1 Corinthians 11:17-34, challenging the church to examine its heart when coming together for worship and communion. He begins with a striking analogy of a father missing his daughter’s wedding due to self-centeredness, likening it to how the Corinthian church gathers in a way that brings harm rather than unity. Paul rebukes them for turning the Lord’s Supper into a moment of division—where the wealthy indulge while the poor are left out—contradicting the very essence of Christ’s sacrifice. Pastor Chris reminds us that when the focus shifts away from Jesus, division takes root. The Lord’s Supper is meant to declare the unity of believers in Christ, yet the Corinthians have distorted it by bringing in cultural class distinctions. The church must remember that Christ’s sacrifice is for us, not just me—a communal reality that binds us together. The sermon calls every believer to self-examination before taking communion, urging us not to proclaim Christ’s death outwardly while harboring unrepentant sin inwardly. Paul’s warning is sobering: those who take the Lord’s Supper in an unworthy manner face God’s discipline. However, through Christ, we are freed from sin, invited into grace, and called to live in the humility and love that Jesus demonstrated. As we approach the table, we must ask: Are we truly remembering Christ? Are we allowing sin to go unchecked? Are we prioritizing self over others? The Lord’s Supper is not just a ritual—it is a call to repentance, unity, and transformation. Watch now and be challenged to approach communion with a heart that truly remembers Christ’s sacrifice.
