Discover how the Corinthian church's approach to communion reveals a timeless problem in Christian communities: majoring in minors while minoring in majors. This message explores Paul's rebuke in 1 Corinthians 11:17-22, where church gatherings were causing spiritual harm rather than growth due to division and selfishness. Learn why God cares more about the heart behind our religious practices than the rituals themselves.The message examines how the early Corinthian love feasts had become occasions where the wealthy indulged while the poor went hungry—a direct contradiction to communion's purpose of celebrating Christ's selfless sacrifice. Discover the three types of people revealed during church division: immature believers, false believers, and genuine peace-makers.This teaching contrasts the Corinthians' behavior with the Jerusalem church's model of true Christian unity and Jesus' example at the Last Supper, where He brought together people who would naturally be enemies. Most importantly, learn how communion represents Christ bridging the ultimate division between humanity and God.Keywords: church unity, division, communion, Lord's Supper, 1 Corinthians, Paul's teachings, Christian community, reconciliation, church conflict, spiritual growth, early church, Christian fellowship, biblical teaching, gospel unity, church relationships, Christian love, body of Christ, church family, spiritual maturity, Christian discipleship, biblical community, church harmony, Christian worship, spiritual transformation, biblical principles, Christian living, faith application, Bible study, spiritual disciplines, Christian leadership.
