In this message from our annual GBC Family Camp, Pastor Sonny continues his series on Corinthians, exploring the “remembrance” aspect of communion from 1 Corinthians 11. He explains that the Apostle Paul used the Lord’s Supper as a solution to the social divisions plaguing the Corinthian church, highlighting that Jesus established this new covenant on the very night He was betrayed. Ultimately, Pastor Sonny reminds listeners that the cross subdues our selfish nature and the Holy Spirit cultivates our hearts, emphasizing that we cannot celebrate a Savior who sacrificially gave Himself for us while refusing to love one another.
1 Corinthians 11:23–26
23 For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
