00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.299
 1 Corinthians 11, quick walk, two big sections.

00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:07.520
 First section, verses 1 to 16.

00:00:07.740 --> 00:00:10.060
 Second section, verses 17 to 34.

00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:14.080
 And I wasn't even going to bother with the first section

00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:16.160
 until we had our community group the other night.

00:00:16.539 --> 00:00:16.940
 Thank you.

00:00:17.780 --> 00:00:19.140
 That's my sign of authority.

00:00:19.260 --> 00:00:21.059
 I forgot to have it on when I started this message.

00:00:21.179 --> 00:00:23.480
 I want you to know that it's okay for me to be out the front.

00:00:23.580 --> 00:00:26.539
 I'm operating under Steve's authority and the Archbishop's licence

00:00:26.539 --> 00:00:27.879
 or something like that.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.740
 We read the passage in our community group the other night.

00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:37.700
 We had a great discussion and towards the end,

00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:40.240
 somebody tentatively but also boldly said,

00:00:41.120 --> 00:00:44.820
 when you hear this read, it's really hard

00:00:44.820 --> 00:00:49.939
 for the hairs on the back of your neck not to stand on their end.

00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:57.439
 And they were reflecting, I think some of the words used were

00:00:57.439 --> 00:00:59.299
 that when we come to a passage like this,

00:00:59.299 --> 00:01:03.379
 it sounds old-fashioned, it sounds fuddy-duddy,

00:01:03.519 --> 00:01:05.000
 it sounds out of touch.

00:01:05.899 --> 00:01:08.759
 And in some ways, and even in worse ways,

00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.560
 for women, sounds like a considerable put-down.

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:15.039
 And we could go off and have a...

00:01:15.579 --> 00:01:17.340
 You could talk heaps about all that

00:01:17.340 --> 00:01:18.579
 without even looking at the passage.

00:01:18.819 --> 00:01:21.019
 We've already found our positions,

00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:22.079
 we know where we stand,

00:01:22.379 --> 00:01:25.099
 and we're ready to interact with one another in our groups, aren't we?

00:01:25.099 --> 00:01:26.500
 And we haven't even read the Bible any further.

00:01:32.419 --> 00:01:34.500
 But what if he's dealing...

00:01:34.500 --> 00:01:36.719
 I think he's dealing with problems in both places,

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:38.319
 but what we see in the first half,

00:01:38.399 --> 00:01:39.759
 he says, verse 2,

00:01:39.819 --> 00:01:42.399
 I praise you for remembering me in everything

00:01:42.399 --> 00:01:44.359
 and for holding to the teachings

00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:46.199
 just as I pass them on to you.

00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:48.399
 He's been involved in tradition,

00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:50.619
 the transmission of something which wasn't his,

00:01:50.620 --> 00:01:51.620
 it was given to him,

00:01:51.939 --> 00:01:54.180
 and he's tried to faithfully pass it on to them.

00:01:54.579 --> 00:01:55.859
 And however they've handled it,

00:01:55.900 --> 00:01:57.800
 he's saying, I really want to praise you for this.

00:01:58.260 --> 00:02:01.160
 So the first half of chapter 11 is reasonably positive,

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.700
 and the second part is incredibly negative.

00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:05.620
 Verse 17,

00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:07.580
 In the following directives,

00:02:07.620 --> 00:02:09.300
 I have no praise for you,

00:02:10.500 --> 00:02:12.700
 for your meetings do more harm than good.

00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:14.240
 So if we look at the first half,

00:02:14.300 --> 00:02:15.520
 we're seeing they're praiseful,

00:02:16.259 --> 00:02:17.719
 and we move into the second half,

00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:18.680
 which we'll do in a minute,

00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:20.200
 I have no praise for you.

00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:21.119
 He's hot with anger

00:02:21.119 --> 00:02:24.199
 for the way that the Christians in Corinth

00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:27.099
 are behaving with regard to particular issues.

00:02:28.379 --> 00:02:29.439
 So come back to women.

00:02:29.780 --> 00:02:31.079
 We're not going to cover everything.

00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:35.199
 We got a reaction in our community group the other night

00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:36.239
 that sort of said,

00:02:36.539 --> 00:02:38.079
 this just seems so out of touch.

00:02:39.819 --> 00:02:41.179
 And yet what if,

00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:43.939
 what if we looked around our group

00:02:43.939 --> 00:02:45.719
 and we said, all of us have daughters.

00:02:47.179 --> 00:02:49.919
 What would it take for our daughter

00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:54.339
 to present shamefully out there in the community?

00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:57.299
 If we were at a community gathering the football

00:02:57.299 --> 00:02:58.719
 down in Westfield,

00:02:59.099 --> 00:03:01.239
 if they took their tops off and walked around,

00:03:01.299 --> 00:03:03.319
 would that be perceived as a shameful thing?

00:03:05.079 --> 00:03:06.779
 And most of us would say,

00:03:06.859 --> 00:03:08.819
 yeah, the whole of society would see that as shameful.

00:03:08.819 --> 00:03:11.780
 And we added to it and said,

00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:13.799
 yeah, well, even if they dressed really skimpily.

00:03:13.959 --> 00:03:15.139
 And then we started to talk about,

00:03:15.219 --> 00:03:16.560
 well, what about out the front of church?

00:03:16.620 --> 00:03:18.019
 And we've got a woman speaking to us

00:03:18.019 --> 00:03:19.780
 and her skirt's up, you know,

00:03:19.819 --> 00:03:20.780
 halfway up her thighs

00:03:20.780 --> 00:03:22.959
 and her cleavage is well down the middle

00:03:22.959 --> 00:03:25.780
 and the guys are paying a tremendous amount of attention

00:03:25.780 --> 00:03:27.000
 to everything that she's saying.

00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:32.539
 There's something culturally inappropriate

00:03:32.539 --> 00:03:34.539
 that gets in the way of the message.

00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:37.500
 And I think there are some dynamics at play here

00:03:37.500 --> 00:03:38.719
 that bear on that.

00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:39.639
 And I'm saying it now

00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:41.439
 because this is going to feed perhaps

00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:42.800
 into some of the things

00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.259
 that Sam might want to talk about tomorrow afternoon.

00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:49.960
 What I want you to see in terms of the text,

00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:51.200
 verse 4,

00:03:52.340 --> 00:03:56.080
 every man who prays or prophesies

00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:00.860
 with his head covered dishonours his head.

00:04:02.379 --> 00:04:04.080
 So there's a presumption there

00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:08.500
 that a man amongst in the church of God

00:04:08.500 --> 00:04:11.840
 may be praying and prophesying,

00:04:11.980 --> 00:04:14.120
 which is the forth telling of the word of God,

00:04:14.200 --> 00:04:15.280
 bringing the word of God to bear.

00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.240
 And he will present in a particular way

00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:21.660
 and possibly reflects the Old Testament glory

00:04:21.660 --> 00:04:24.180
 where Moses didn't have his head covered

00:04:24.180 --> 00:04:26.460
 in the presence of God.

00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:28.579
 But it may be wider than that

00:04:28.579 --> 00:04:30.000
 in terms of Corinthian culture.

00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:33.540
 And then verse 5, look really carefully.

00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.900
 Every woman who prays or prophesies

00:04:37.900 --> 00:04:41.379
 with her head uncovered dishonours her head.

00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:44.300
 Now what have they both got in common?

00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:46.300
 In both contexts,

00:04:46.300 --> 00:04:49.220
 a man or a woman

00:04:49.220 --> 00:04:50.699
 is praying

00:04:50.699 --> 00:04:52.980
 or is prophesying

00:04:52.980 --> 00:04:54.480
 in public.

00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:56.660
 They're doing the same thing

00:04:56.660 --> 00:04:59.560
 but they're presenting differently

00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.759
 in the cultural context.

00:05:03.139 --> 00:05:03.939
 And what if,

00:05:04.019 --> 00:05:05.199
 and I think I've read this

00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:07.340
 but I won't go to the cross on it

00:05:07.340 --> 00:05:09.280
 because I might get contradicted,

00:05:09.420 --> 00:05:10.699
 but what if in Corinth

00:05:10.699 --> 00:05:12.539
 to be a woman

00:05:12.539 --> 00:05:14.060
 out the front of the congregation

00:05:14.060 --> 00:05:16.439
 with your head shaven

00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:18.759
 said something about

00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:20.339
 your social standing,

00:05:20.539 --> 00:05:22.219
 maybe even your connection

00:05:22.219 --> 00:05:23.719
 with prostitution

00:05:23.719 --> 00:05:25.839
 or it said something

00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:27.599
 about you as a woman

00:05:27.599 --> 00:05:28.699
 in that setting,

00:05:29.860 --> 00:05:32.120
 might that not get in the way

00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:33.819
 of the prayer being prayed

00:05:33.819 --> 00:05:36.139
 or the word of God

00:05:36.139 --> 00:05:37.779
 being brought to bear

00:05:37.779 --> 00:05:39.039
 in terms of prophecy?

00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:42.200
 Now I don't think

00:05:42.200 --> 00:05:42.939
 I want to go

00:05:42.939 --> 00:05:43.819
 a lot further

00:05:43.819 --> 00:05:44.800
 than that.

00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:45.560
 There's obviously

00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:46.280
 bucket loads

00:05:46.280 --> 00:05:47.020
 that could be said

00:05:47.020 --> 00:05:48.020
 and here's your opportunity

00:05:48.020 --> 00:05:49.260
 to write your own questions

00:05:49.260 --> 00:05:50.020
 down right now

00:05:50.020 --> 00:05:50.560
 on your sheet

00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:51.280
 and they can be brought

00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:51.879
 back to panel

00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:52.580
 tomorrow afternoon.

00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:53.400
 That's the way we can deal

00:05:53.400 --> 00:05:54.140
 with some of this stuff

00:05:54.140 --> 00:05:54.860
 in this context.

00:05:54.960 --> 00:05:55.540
 It's fantastic.

00:05:57.200 --> 00:05:58.500
 But coming to the second half,

00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:00.080
 verse 17,

00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.359
 in the following directives

00:06:04.359 --> 00:06:05.939
 I have no praise for you.

00:06:07.339 --> 00:06:09.899
 Your meetings do more harm

00:06:09.899 --> 00:06:11.279
 than good.

00:06:14.479 --> 00:06:15.759
 So there's a big point

00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:16.620
 that he's working

00:06:16.620 --> 00:06:17.860
 from round about

00:06:17.860 --> 00:06:19.579
 verse 17 to verse 22.

00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:20.759
 He said,

00:06:20.860 --> 00:06:21.579
 you come together

00:06:21.579 --> 00:06:22.779
 in verse 20,

00:06:24.099 --> 00:06:25.159
 when you come together

00:06:25.159 --> 00:06:26.219
 it's not the Lord's supper

00:06:26.220 --> 00:06:26.740
 you eat.

00:06:29.540 --> 00:06:30.860
 For as you eat

00:06:30.860 --> 00:06:31.820
 each of you

00:06:31.820 --> 00:06:32.580
 goes ahead

00:06:32.580 --> 00:06:33.380
 without waiting

00:06:33.380 --> 00:06:34.540
 for anyone else.

00:06:34.580 --> 00:06:35.080
 Would you mind

00:06:35.080 --> 00:06:36.040
 paying attention to me?

00:06:36.520 --> 00:06:37.180
 Like I can see

00:06:37.180 --> 00:06:37.820
 everybody's eyes

00:06:37.820 --> 00:06:38.520
 gone over there

00:06:38.520 --> 00:06:40.020
 but I'd really like

00:06:40.020 --> 00:06:40.820
 your eyes back here,

00:06:40.860 --> 00:06:41.100
 okay?

00:06:47.100 --> 00:06:48.280
 And in verse 21

00:06:48.280 --> 00:06:49.420
 he literally says,

00:06:49.420 --> 00:06:50.140
 you're not eating

00:06:50.140 --> 00:06:51.040
 the Lord's supper,

00:06:51.180 --> 00:06:52.140
 you're eating to self.

00:06:52.139 --> 00:06:55.680
 You're doing

00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:56.599
 your own stuff.

00:06:58.659 --> 00:06:59.819
 And we know

00:06:59.819 --> 00:07:00.579
 from what Steve's

00:07:00.579 --> 00:07:01.159
 spoken about

00:07:01.159 --> 00:07:02.039
 in the last talk

00:07:02.039 --> 00:07:02.639
 that he's been

00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:03.300
 talking to us

00:07:03.300 --> 00:07:04.219
 about being a body

00:07:04.219 --> 00:07:05.159
 and so when we talk

00:07:05.159 --> 00:07:05.879
 about body

00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:06.860
 in Christian life

00:07:06.860 --> 00:07:07.819
 we're talking about

00:07:07.819 --> 00:07:10.000
 the corporate life

00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:10.979
 of the people of God.

00:07:11.099 --> 00:07:11.939
 We are a body.

00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:12.959
 We're a body

00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:13.719
 gathered today

00:07:13.719 --> 00:07:14.060
 and boy

00:07:14.060 --> 00:07:15.459
 it's an exciting body

00:07:15.459 --> 00:07:17.099
 to see gathered today

00:07:17.099 --> 00:07:17.879
 and to be gathered

00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:18.539
 in this way

00:07:18.539 --> 00:07:19.019
 and that people

00:07:19.019 --> 00:07:19.719
 have given time

00:07:19.719 --> 00:07:20.139
 this morning

00:07:20.139 --> 00:07:21.180
 to worship in this way.

00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:22.079
 Just awesome.

00:07:22.139 --> 00:07:25.459
 But he's saying

00:07:25.459 --> 00:07:26.259
 to the Corinthians

00:07:26.259 --> 00:07:28.560
 there's something

00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:29.659
 about this gathering

00:07:29.659 --> 00:07:30.479
 that's going on

00:07:30.479 --> 00:07:30.899
 with you

00:07:30.899 --> 00:07:31.979
 which is just out of

00:07:31.979 --> 00:07:33.199
 what are you guys doing?

00:07:33.719 --> 00:07:34.219
 We're just having

00:07:34.219 --> 00:07:34.659
 lunch.

00:07:38.459 --> 00:07:39.599
 We're having lunch.

00:07:41.500 --> 00:07:43.199
 I did say bring lunch

00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:44.979
 and I said

00:07:44.980 --> 00:08:05.740
 there's some really nice wine

00:08:05.740 --> 00:08:06.240
 on the table

00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:07.700
 there's some fantastic chocolates

00:08:07.700 --> 00:08:09.560
 and there's more stuff coming.

00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.019
 Well it's going to be great

00:08:12.019 --> 00:08:12.680
 to be able to share that

00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:13.000
 in a minute

00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:14.439
 and

00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:17.079
 This is ours.

00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:17.759
 This is ours.

00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:20.439
 Ours.

00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:26.980
 Well I don't care about

00:08:26.980 --> 00:08:27.800
 the leaf and the carrot

00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:28.519
 you can have that.

00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:32.699
 It's no ordinary salad.

00:08:32.699 --> 00:08:32.720
 It's no ordinary salad.

00:08:41.439 --> 00:08:43.059
 So what else is in the box?

00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:45.360
 The very best chicken.

00:08:48.019 --> 00:08:48.579
 Okay.

00:08:48.580 --> 00:08:56.480
 It's distracting

00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:56.980
 isn't it?

00:08:57.820 --> 00:08:58.560
 What was the word?

00:09:03.560 --> 00:09:04.139
 He says

00:09:04.139 --> 00:09:05.060
 verse 22

00:09:05.060 --> 00:09:06.900
 or verse 21

00:09:06.900 --> 00:09:07.639
 for as

00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:08.720
 as you eat

00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:09.500
 each of you

00:09:09.500 --> 00:09:10.040
 goes ahead

00:09:10.040 --> 00:09:10.400
 without

00:09:10.400 --> 00:09:12.020
 waiting for anyone else

00:09:12.019 --> 00:09:14.860
 and

00:09:14.860 --> 00:09:16.220
 one remains hungry

00:09:16.220 --> 00:09:17.819
 and another

00:09:17.819 --> 00:09:18.620
 gets drunk

00:09:18.620 --> 00:09:25.699
 Don't you have

00:09:25.699 --> 00:09:27.120
 homes to eat

00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:28.120
 and drink in

00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:29.199
 or do you despise

00:09:29.199 --> 00:09:30.240
 the church of God

00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.720
 and humiliate

00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:33.879
 those who have nothing

00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:35.519
 and what shall I say

00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:35.799
 to you?

00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:36.879
 Certainly I shall not

00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:38.279
 shall I praise you

00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:38.600
 for this?

00:09:38.659 --> 00:09:39.240
 Certainly not.

00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:41.579
 And then he goes

00:09:41.580 --> 00:09:42.259
 into those words

00:09:42.259 --> 00:09:42.700
 that we know

00:09:42.700 --> 00:09:43.120
 really well

00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:44.180
 from the communion service

00:09:44.180 --> 00:09:45.580
 he goes to a different body

00:09:45.580 --> 00:09:47.000
 he moves from the body

00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:48.200
 of Christ

00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:50.900
 in terms of his people

00:09:50.900 --> 00:09:52.400
 to the body

00:09:52.400 --> 00:09:53.420
 of Christ himself

00:09:53.420 --> 00:09:55.240
 and he says

00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:56.000
 for I received

00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:56.639
 from the Lord

00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:57.639
 what I also passed

00:09:57.639 --> 00:09:58.139
 on to you

00:09:58.139 --> 00:09:58.940
 the Lord Jesus

00:09:58.940 --> 00:09:59.480
 on the night

00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:00.100
 he was betrayed

00:10:00.100 --> 00:10:00.840
 took bread

00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:02.600
 Passover meal

00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:03.240
 remembrance

00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:04.259
 to the time in Egypt

00:10:04.259 --> 00:10:05.120
 the deliverance

00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:07.300
 from the great salvation

00:10:07.300 --> 00:10:08.500
 event of the Old Testament

00:10:08.500 --> 00:10:10.960
 and he took bread

00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:11.879
 and when he had given

00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:12.860
 thanks he broke it

00:10:12.860 --> 00:10:13.139
 and said

00:10:13.139 --> 00:10:14.040
 this is my body

00:10:14.040 --> 00:10:15.259
 which is for you

00:10:15.259 --> 00:10:17.040
 do this in remembrance

00:10:17.040 --> 00:10:17.680
 of me

00:10:17.680 --> 00:10:20.080
 and in the same way

00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:20.639
 after supper

00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:21.379
 he took the cup

00:10:21.379 --> 00:10:22.280
 saying this cup

00:10:22.280 --> 00:10:23.139
 is the new covenant

00:10:23.139 --> 00:10:23.879
 in my blood

00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:24.780
 do this whenever you

00:10:24.780 --> 00:10:25.639
 drink it in remembrance

00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:26.320
 of me

00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.240
 for whenever you eat

00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:28.700
 this bread

00:10:28.700 --> 00:10:29.580
 and drink this cup

00:10:29.580 --> 00:10:30.759
 you proclaim the Lord's

00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:31.780
 death until he comes

00:10:31.779 --> 00:10:35.019
 so he's directing

00:10:35.019 --> 00:10:35.679
 the attention

00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:37.019
 of the body

00:10:37.019 --> 00:10:37.579
 of Christ

00:10:37.579 --> 00:10:38.220
 to the body

00:10:38.220 --> 00:10:38.740
 of Christ

00:10:38.740 --> 00:10:41.399
 and he's doing

00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:42.600
 what has happened

00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:43.259
 right throughout

00:10:43.259 --> 00:10:44.679
 our message series

00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:45.360
 in Corinthians

00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:46.679
 he is

00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:48.299
 taking us back

00:10:48.299 --> 00:10:48.819
 to the way

00:10:48.819 --> 00:10:49.480
 of the cross

00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:51.579
 and he is reminding

00:10:51.579 --> 00:10:52.639
 the people of God

00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:54.579
 that we are

00:10:54.579 --> 00:10:55.439
 who we are

00:10:55.439 --> 00:10:57.319
 through the sacrificial

00:10:57.319 --> 00:10:58.539
 self-serving

00:10:58.539 --> 00:11:00.360
 act of our saviour

00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:01.259
 God the Lord Jesus

00:11:01.259 --> 00:11:02.159
 Christ who has

00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:02.720
 made us one

00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:03.100
 with him

00:11:03.100 --> 00:11:05.480
 so this is not

00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:06.340
 about which

00:11:06.340 --> 00:11:07.100
 tradition do we

00:11:07.100 --> 00:11:07.659
 go with

00:11:07.659 --> 00:11:08.279
 and have all

00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:08.659
 the church

00:11:08.659 --> 00:11:09.360
 arguments of

00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.220
 history that we

00:11:11.220 --> 00:11:11.919
 could conduct

00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:12.539
 or the method

00:11:12.539 --> 00:11:13.080
 or whether we

00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:13.740
 got an individual

00:11:13.740 --> 00:11:14.559
 cup or a wafer

00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:15.120
 or a piece of

00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:15.379
 bread

00:11:15.379 --> 00:11:16.539
 that's a load

00:11:16.539 --> 00:11:17.019
 of nonsense

00:11:17.019 --> 00:11:18.519
 it's a sideshow

00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:20.379
 but what is

00:11:20.379 --> 00:11:21.220
 the centre of

00:11:21.220 --> 00:11:21.899
 this show is

00:11:21.899 --> 00:11:22.419
 that there's a

00:11:22.419 --> 00:11:23.519
 body of believers

00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:24.220
 in Corinth

00:11:24.220 --> 00:11:26.819
 who are humiliating

00:11:26.819 --> 00:11:27.460
 one another

00:11:27.460 --> 00:11:28.200
 by the way

00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:29.299
 that they interact

00:11:29.299 --> 00:11:30.100
 with each other

00:11:30.100 --> 00:11:31.860
 they're calling

00:11:31.860 --> 00:11:32.600
 it the Lord's

00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:32.860
 supper

00:11:32.860 --> 00:11:34.399
 and they have

00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:35.200
 gone so far

00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:35.779
 away from the

00:11:35.779 --> 00:11:36.500
 truth that it

00:11:36.500 --> 00:11:37.639
 is an offensive

00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:38.460
 thing that they

00:11:38.460 --> 00:11:39.399
 do in the light

00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:39.899
 of what God

00:11:39.899 --> 00:11:40.420
 has done for

00:11:40.420 --> 00:11:40.680
 them

00:11:40.680 --> 00:11:42.980
 and so you

00:11:42.980 --> 00:11:43.560
 come into the

00:11:43.560 --> 00:11:44.180
 last part of

00:11:44.180 --> 00:11:44.820
 the passage

00:11:44.820 --> 00:11:46.920
 where there's a

00:11:46.920 --> 00:11:47.399
 warning there

00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:47.960
 it says whoever

00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:48.879
 eats the bread

00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:49.580
 or drinks the

00:11:49.580 --> 00:11:50.060
 cup of the

00:11:50.060 --> 00:11:50.420
 Lord in

00:11:50.420 --> 00:11:50.879
 unworthy

00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:51.159
 manner

00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:51.519
 we're not

00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:52.040
 talking about

00:11:52.040 --> 00:11:53.139
 little cups

00:11:53.139 --> 00:11:54.200
 of grape juice

00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:55.060
 and wafers

00:11:55.060 --> 00:11:55.639
 we're talking

00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:56.220
 about the

00:11:56.220 --> 00:11:56.759
 behaviour of

00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:57.100
 the body

00:11:57.100 --> 00:11:57.659
 of Christ

00:11:57.659 --> 00:12:00.279
 so whoever

00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:01.920
 behaves as

00:12:01.920 --> 00:12:02.420
 we gather

00:12:02.420 --> 00:12:02.879
 in this

00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:04.320
 corporate meal

00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:06.000
 so whoever

00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:06.800
 eats the

00:12:06.800 --> 00:12:07.200
 bread or

00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:07.659
 drinks the

00:12:07.659 --> 00:12:07.960
 cup of

00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:08.259
 the Lord

00:12:08.259 --> 00:12:08.920
 in unworthy

00:12:08.920 --> 00:12:09.460
 manner will

00:12:09.460 --> 00:12:09.860
 be guilty

00:12:09.860 --> 00:12:10.379
 of sinning

00:12:10.379 --> 00:12:10.840
 against the

00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:11.240
 body and

00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:11.600
 blood of

00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:12.060
 the Lord

00:12:12.060 --> 00:12:13.720
 and a

00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:14.139
 man ought

00:12:14.139 --> 00:12:14.820
 to examine

00:12:14.820 --> 00:12:15.440
 himself

00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:17.300
 he ought

00:12:17.300 --> 00:12:17.720
 to examine

00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:17.960
 himself

00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:18.360
 so should

00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:18.800
 the woman

00:12:18.800 --> 00:12:20.159
 before he

00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:20.540
 eats of

00:12:20.540 --> 00:12:20.899
 the bread

00:12:20.899 --> 00:12:21.460
 and chokes

00:12:21.460 --> 00:12:21.800
 on the

00:12:21.800 --> 00:12:22.019
 cup

00:12:22.019 --> 00:12:22.480
 or drinks

00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:22.759
 from the

00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:22.940
 cup

00:12:22.940 --> 00:12:26.420
 because

00:12:26.420 --> 00:12:26.900
 anybody

00:12:26.900 --> 00:12:27.280
 who

00:12:27.280 --> 00:12:27.580
 eats

00:12:27.580 --> 00:12:27.780
 and

00:12:27.780 --> 00:12:28.040
 drinks

00:12:28.040 --> 00:12:28.400
 without

00:12:28.400 --> 00:12:29.220
 recognising

00:12:29.220 --> 00:12:29.440
 the

00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:29.760
 body

00:12:29.760 --> 00:12:29.940
 of

00:12:29.940 --> 00:12:30.100
 the

00:12:30.100 --> 00:12:30.460
 Lord

00:12:30.460 --> 00:12:34.360
 eats

00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:34.560
 and

00:12:34.560 --> 00:12:34.780
 drinks

00:12:34.780 --> 00:12:35.180
 judgment

00:12:35.180 --> 00:12:35.420
 on

00:12:35.420 --> 00:12:35.760
 himself

00:12:35.760 --> 00:12:38.280
 and that

00:12:38.280 --> 00:12:38.600
 is why

00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:39.180
 many among

00:12:39.180 --> 00:12:39.660
 you are

00:12:39.660 --> 00:12:40.120
 weak and

00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:40.440
 sick and

00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:40.760
 a number

00:12:40.760 --> 00:12:41.120
 of you

00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:41.760
 fallen asleep

00:12:41.760 --> 00:12:42.300
 but there's

00:12:42.300 --> 00:12:42.700
 been a

00:12:42.700 --> 00:12:43.140
 breakdown

00:12:43.140 --> 00:12:44.100
 in corporate

00:12:44.100 --> 00:12:44.500
 body

00:12:44.500 --> 00:12:45.320
 life amongst

00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:45.980
 these people

00:12:45.980 --> 00:12:46.320
 and it's

00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:46.760
 expressed

00:12:46.760 --> 00:12:47.120
 very

00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:47.700
 practically

00:12:47.700 --> 00:12:48.780
 in the

00:12:48.780 --> 00:12:49.200
 way they're

00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:49.640
 conducting

00:12:49.640 --> 00:12:50.100
 themselves

00:12:50.100 --> 00:12:50.460
 when they

00:12:50.460 --> 00:12:50.640
 come

00:12:50.640 --> 00:12:51.020
 together

00:12:51.020 --> 00:12:52.300
 in this

00:12:52.299 --> 00:12:52.779
 meal which

00:12:52.779 --> 00:12:53.199
 they call

00:12:53.199 --> 00:12:53.639
 worship

00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:56.059
 and God's

00:12:56.059 --> 00:12:56.679
 judgment has

00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:57.159
 been upon

00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:57.639
 them but

00:12:57.639 --> 00:12:58.579
 he's encouraging

00:12:58.579 --> 00:12:59.179
 them to come

00:12:59.179 --> 00:12:59.699
 under God's

00:12:59.699 --> 00:13:00.479
 discipline rather

00:13:00.479 --> 00:13:00.919
 than on his

00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:01.539
 judgment and

00:13:01.539 --> 00:13:02.319
 so respond to

00:13:02.319 --> 00:13:03.019
 his words so

00:13:03.019 --> 00:13:04.299
 respond now as

00:13:04.299 --> 00:13:04.699
 sons and

00:13:04.699 --> 00:13:05.099
 daughters of

00:13:05.099 --> 00:13:05.779
 God and

00:13:05.779 --> 00:13:06.099
 repent

00:13:06.099 --> 00:13:06.859
 go back to

00:13:06.859 --> 00:13:07.219
 your seats

00:13:07.219 --> 00:13:07.500
 anyway

00:13:07.500 --> 00:13:08.000
 you did a

00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:08.299
 great job

00:13:08.299 --> 00:13:08.579
 can we give

00:13:08.579 --> 00:13:08.899
 them a hand

00:13:08.899 --> 00:13:17.819
 so is this

00:13:17.819 --> 00:13:18.159
 for our

00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:18.559
 community

00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:19.120
 group now

00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:19.399
 or

00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:21.539
 love

00:13:21.539 --> 00:13:22.419
 doesn't

00:13:22.419 --> 00:13:22.819
 work does

00:13:22.819 --> 00:13:23.039
 it

00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:24.699
 but then

00:13:24.699 --> 00:13:25.039
 so it's

00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:25.659
 very practical

00:13:25.659 --> 00:13:26.139
 in the end

00:13:26.139 --> 00:13:26.759
 verse 33

00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:27.319
 my brothers

00:13:27.319 --> 00:13:27.720
 when you

00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:28.279
 come together

00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:28.799
 to eat

00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:29.879
 wait for

00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:30.379
 each other

00:13:30.379 --> 00:13:32.600
 it's almost

00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:33.199
 a courtesy

00:13:33.199 --> 00:13:33.639
 isn't it

00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:34.319
 it's as

00:13:34.319 --> 00:13:34.819
 simple as

00:13:34.819 --> 00:13:35.340
 a courtesy

00:13:35.340 --> 00:13:35.919
 and it's

00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:36.240
 the other

00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:36.620
 person

00:13:36.620 --> 00:13:36.939
 centered

00:13:36.939 --> 00:13:37.220
 love

00:13:37.220 --> 00:13:37.519
 I'm not

00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:37.799
 just going

00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:38.100
 to fill

00:13:38.100 --> 00:13:38.779
 my guts

00:13:38.779 --> 00:13:39.759
 while you

00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:40.179
 all stay

00:13:40.179 --> 00:13:40.559
 hungry

00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:40.980
 and there's

00:13:40.980 --> 00:13:41.220
 probably

00:13:41.220 --> 00:13:41.659
 something

00:13:41.659 --> 00:13:42.259
 even bigger

00:13:42.259 --> 00:13:42.799
 going on

00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:43.340
 which is

00:13:43.340 --> 00:13:44.559
 it's almost

00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:45.159
 a display

00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:45.720
 of wealth

00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:46.419
 I've got

00:13:46.419 --> 00:13:46.960
 my sandwich

00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:47.519
 for today

00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:48.360
 but these

00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:48.840
 guys have

00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:49.139
 got

00:13:49.139 --> 00:13:50.079
 luxury

00:13:50.079 --> 00:13:52.139
 and so I

00:13:52.139 --> 00:13:52.860
 display my

00:13:52.860 --> 00:13:53.220
 wealth

00:13:53.220 --> 00:13:53.679
 and as I

00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:54.399
 display my

00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:54.759
 wealth

00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:55.360
 and who I

00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:56.059
 am in terms

00:13:56.059 --> 00:13:56.559
 of the people

00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:56.879
 of God

00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:57.379
 as we meet

00:13:57.379 --> 00:13:57.720
 in this

00:13:57.720 --> 00:13:58.039
 place

00:13:58.039 --> 00:13:58.519
 I exalt

00:13:58.519 --> 00:13:59.039
 myself

00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:00.039
 and by

00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:00.620
 implication

00:14:00.620 --> 00:14:01.539
 I humiliate

00:14:01.539 --> 00:14:02.019
 other people

00:14:02.019 --> 00:14:02.579
 around me

00:14:02.579 --> 00:14:05.120
 and God

00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:05.740
 calls us

00:14:05.740 --> 00:14:06.360
 to a different

00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:07.000
 standard of

00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:07.419
 behaviour

00:14:07.419 --> 00:14:08.379
 in the light

00:14:08.379 --> 00:14:08.939
 of the cross

00:14:08.939 --> 00:14:09.439
 and the way

00:14:09.439 --> 00:14:09.919
 of the cross

00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:10.319
 and what the

00:14:10.319 --> 00:14:10.779
 Lord Jesus

00:14:10.779 --> 00:14:11.220
 has done

00:14:11.220 --> 00:14:11.720
 for us

00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:13.519
 so if you're

00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:14.779
 really hungry

00:14:14.779 --> 00:14:15.199
 when you're

00:14:15.199 --> 00:14:15.620
 coming for

00:14:15.620 --> 00:14:15.939
 lunch

00:14:15.939 --> 00:14:16.639
 well he's

00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:17.120
 telling you

00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:17.539
 to go and

00:14:17.539 --> 00:14:17.820
 have a bit

00:14:17.820 --> 00:14:18.200
 of Maccas

00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:18.659
 before you

00:14:18.659 --> 00:14:19.060
 turn up

00:14:19.060 --> 00:14:19.299
 so you

00:14:19.299 --> 00:14:19.560
 don't have

00:14:19.560 --> 00:14:19.860
 to pig

00:14:19.860 --> 00:14:20.179
 out and

00:14:20.179 --> 00:14:20.720
 take yourself

00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:21.060
 ahead of

00:14:21.060 --> 00:14:21.700
 everyone else

00:14:21.700 --> 00:14:23.080
 he doesn't

00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:23.539
 say if you're

00:14:23.539 --> 00:14:23.860
 hungry

00:14:23.860 --> 00:14:25.480
 if anyone's

00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:25.779
 hungry

00:14:25.779 --> 00:14:26.580
 you've got

00:14:26.580 --> 00:14:26.840
 to give

00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:27.299
 him more

00:14:27.299 --> 00:14:28.620
 it says

00:14:28.620 --> 00:14:29.039
 if you're

00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:29.340
 coming to

00:14:29.340 --> 00:14:29.919
 this meal

00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:30.779
 gathered as

00:14:30.779 --> 00:14:31.159
 the people

00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:31.580
 of God

00:14:31.580 --> 00:14:32.539
 satisfy your

00:14:32.539 --> 00:14:32.940
 hunger out

00:14:32.940 --> 00:14:33.259
 there and

00:14:33.259 --> 00:14:33.639
 then come

00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:33.919
 and eat

00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:34.500
 in moderation

00:14:34.500 --> 00:14:35.019
 with everybody

00:14:35.019 --> 00:14:35.419
 else

00:14:35.419 --> 00:14:37.000
 be sensitive

00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:37.440
 to the

00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:37.919
 brothers and

00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:38.440
 sisters that

00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:38.720
 you have

00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:39.259
 in Christ

00:14:39.259 --> 00:14:40.620
 so that it

00:14:40.620 --> 00:14:40.940
 will not

00:14:40.940 --> 00:14:41.500
 result in

00:14:41.500 --> 00:14:41.860
 judgement

00:14:41.860 --> 00:14:42.299
 and when

00:14:42.299 --> 00:14:42.659
 I come

00:14:42.659 --> 00:14:42.940
 I'll give

00:14:42.940 --> 00:14:43.200
 further

00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:43.700
 direction

00:14:43.700 --> 00:14:45.700
 so complete

00:14:45.700 --> 00:14:46.340
 sense of

00:14:46.340 --> 00:14:46.860
 1 Corinthians

00:14:46.860 --> 00:14:47.320
 11

00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:47.800
 absolutely

00:14:47.800 --> 00:14:48.220
 not

00:14:48.220 --> 00:14:48.580
 but there's

00:14:48.580 --> 00:14:48.840
 a few

00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:49.420
 things going

00:14:49.420 --> 00:14:49.720
 on there

00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:50.020
 which are

00:14:50.020 --> 00:14:50.300
 good for

00:14:50.300 --> 00:14:50.540
 us to

00:14:50.540 --> 00:14:50.720
 heed

00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:54.340
 what

00:14:54.340 --> 00:14:55.560
 is

00:14:55.560 --> 00:14:56.040
 what

00:14:56.040 --> 00:14:57.879
 is

00:14:57.879 --> 00:14:58.720
 coming

00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:02.340
 soon

00:15:02.340 --> 00:15:03.340
 to
