Fusion: week of 12/3

FAMILY THEME: BODY OF CHRIST

1 Corinthians 11:17-34

The division in the Corinthian church was visible in the way they

observed the Lord's Supper.

1.  Division Damages the Church

     (1 Corinthians 11:17-22)

     Division in the church always damages and hinders the mission.

 
2.  The Sacrificial Love Pictured in the Lord's Supper is God's

     Design for the Church

     (1 Corinthians 11:23-26)

     The Lord's Supper should unite church members around their

     common faith in the sacrificial work of Christ.

 
3.  Sacrificial Love Should Guide Our Celebration of the Lord's

     Supper and Our Interaction With Our Church Family 

     (1 Corinthians 11:27-34)

     Our behavior should be consistent with the nature and work

     of Christ.
