What did the Apostle Paul really teach about the Lord's Supper? In 1 Corinthians 11, Paul confronts the Corinthian church for turning communion into a gluttonous feast where the wealthy shamed the poor. Discover the true purpose of the Lord's table and why self-examination matters.
In this verse-by-verse study of 1 Corinthians 11:21-30, Les Feldick unpacks Paul's rebuke of the Corinthians who were abusing the Lord's Supper by turning it into a potluck dinner marked by gluttony and drunkenness. Paul reminds them the Lord's table is a solemn reminder of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection — not a place for social division. Les cross-references Galatians 1 to show Paul received this revelation directly from the ascended Lord, not the twelve apostles. He also takes you to Matthew 26 for the Last Supper and Genesis 14 where Melchizedek brought bread and wine as a prophecy of the resurrection.
