Introduction:
Worship at the Lord’s Table is a sacred privilege which demands our utmost sincerity.
Question
When we worship is the gospel clarified or confused?
The cross is the crux of Christian communion.
1 Corinthians 11:26 (ESV)
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
Proclaim - to make known in public, with implication of broad dissemination
We are preaching - declaring the gospel when we partake of these elements.
This is the gospel with a picture.
Communion declares our union with God through Christ’s alienation.
Communion declares our unity with the covenant community.
So what happens when we play loose and fast with the Lord’s table?
When we are reckless at the Lord’s Table we ruins the picture of the cross.
Reckless Worship Emphasizes
Division not union
Reckless Worship Emphasizes
Me not we
Reckless Worship Emphasizes
Man not God
Reckless Worship Emphasizes
Sin not salvation
We must guard the Lord’s Table.
How do we do that?
This meal is for the family.
You don’t practices these elements apart from the church family.
Closed Communion - Only for those whom the church attests to their credible profession of faith.
Don’t approach the table casually.
You are on Holy Ground!
Take off your shoes!
Is there sin I need to confess?
Is there a relationship I need to reconcile?
Does this table highlight your sin? - I can’t believe he’s partaking.
Does this table highlight your salvation?
What a gracious savior?
Does this table emphasis your autonomy?
My Christian experience is private and personal.
Does this table emphasis your corporate identity?
Im part of the body?
Does this table highlight the gospel?
Or does it highlight my guilt?
1 cor 11 22
Despise -
καταφρονέω -
To look down on someone or something with contempt or aversion, with implication that one considers the object of little value.
