Eating and Drinking Worthily

With the Lord's gracious help, we continue our examination of the key communion text of 1 Corinthians 11. We have already looked at The Institution Of The Table Of The Lord in verses 23-26, we will now examine those exhortations and warnings that the Apostle puts immediately after this. Parts of the Christian Church do not even read, let alone pay attention to these serious warnings, and permit all sorts, worthy and unworthy, to partake. And again, there are other parts of the Christian Church which do make use of this text to fence the table, but, they do it in such a way that the children of God are so intimidated that they stay away from their right and privilege to sit at the Lord's Table:

1. The Necessity to Fence the Table

2. The Sinful Partaking at the Lord's Table

3. The Results of Sinful and Ignorant Partaking

4. The Needful Preparation beforehand
