The Great Equalizer

What do you think about when you come to the church for the communion service? Are your personal needs the priority, or should we focus on something more significant? What is the true meaning of the Lord's Supper, and what purpose does it serve?

Bible Passage

1 Corinthians 11:17-22

Conduct at the Lord’s Supper [17] Now in giving these instructions I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse. [18] For first of all, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it. [19] For there must also be factions among you, that those who are approved may be recognized among you. [20] Therefore when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper. [21] For in eating, each one takes his own supper ahead of others; and one is hungry and another is drunk. [22] What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.
