What happens when a society decides that separating infants from their mothers is normal? As I drove past a daycare at 6:00 AM, I witnessed a heartbreaking scene—a child less than a year old being handed to a complete stranger. This moment crystallized one of modern America's greatest tragedies: we've systematically removed children from their mothers in pursuit of a distorted vision of progress.These children are denied experiences once considered fundamental—crawling into mom's bed in the morning, taking afternoon naps at home, playing freely in their own yards, or making messes in the kitchen alongside their mothers. When exactly did we convince ourselves this arrangement was best for children? The feminist revolution promised liberation but delivered a different reality, one where children spend their formative years with strangers while mothers rush between work and home, perpetually exhausted and guilt-ridden.Scripture provides clear guidance on marriage and family that we've largely ignored. God designed men and women differently—not to compete but to complement each other. Marriage isn't meant to be a 50-50 arrangement where spouses battle for power and autonomy. Rather, it functions best when husbands and wives embrace their distinct, God-given roles as outlined in passages like 1 Corinthians 11, Ephesians 5, and 1 Peter 3. When we reject this divine blueprint, we don't achieve equality—we diminish both men and women, making them less than they could be together.Are we ready to honestly assess what we've lost? Our collective rebellion against God's design—through feminism, abortion, or the rejection of biblical marriage—carries consequences beyond individual families to our entire society. The deteriorating state of American family life suggests the bill for these choices is coming due. Perhaps it's time to reconsider the divine pattern that once provided a foundation for human flourishing and family stability.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

1 Corinthians 11:27–34 (ESV) — 27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30 That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died. 31 But if we judged ourselves truly, we would not be judged. 32 But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so thatwe may not be condemned along with the world. 33 So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another— 34 if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home—so that when you come together it will not be for judgment. About the other things I will give directions when I come. IN COMMUNION YOU ARE TO EXAMINE, REMEMBER,PROCLAIM AND ANTICIPATE THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST! THE NECESSITY OF PERSONAL EXAMINATION v27-30 a) TheUnworthy Manner- “Now, if we would catch the meaning of this declaration, we must know what it is to eat unworthily. Some restrict it to the Corinthians, and the abuse that had crept in among them, but I am of opinion that Paul here, according to his usual manner, passed on from the particular case to a general statement, or from one instance to an entire class. There was one fault that prevailed among the Corinthians. He takes occasion from this to speak of every kind of faulty administration or reception of the Supper. “God,” says he, “will not allow this sacrament to be profaned without punishing it severely.” John Calvin Commentaries on the Epistles of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians, vol. 1 pg 385.b) The Worthy Manner - (v24)Thanks, (v24-25) Remembrance, (v26) Proclamation and Anticipation (Ephesians 4:1-3) c) The General Principles- (v27-29) Personal Examination (whoever… let a person… himself… then eat and drink…) - (v27, 29) Guilt that leads to judgement or participation without meditation. (YERPA)d) The Specific Judgement - (v30) Some are weak, ill and died. PERSONAL EXAMINATION UNDER THE PATERNAL LOVE OF THE FATHER v31-32 General Principles: a) Your Freedom: Instruction In The Gospel (v31)a. A clean conscience (Hebrews 10:22) b. Full confession (1 John 1:7-9) c. A true humility (1 timothy 1:12-17) d. Informed progress (Ephesians 4:1-3) b) His Faithfulness: Discipline In The Gospel (v32)Hebrews 12:3-14a. V3-4 Considering Christ b. V5-10 Remember the love of the Fatherc. V11 Discipline brings perishing pain, and progressive paternal peace and perfection… d. V12 -14 Therefore – take action… (12) up in hope, (13) forward in healing, (14) outward in holiness PRACTICAL CONCLUSION OF EXAMINATION v33-34 Specific commands To Corinth and practical applicationfor us: a) (v33) Hopeful and Patient to serve others b) (v34) Humble and Prepared to serve others - More specifics in patience
In this powerful exploration of 1 Corinthians 11, we delve into the profound concepts of authority and communion within the church. The passage reveals God's design for order, reflecting the very nature of the Trinity. We learn that true authority comes with accountability, and that this structure is meant to bring peace and unity, not oppression. As we examine the cultural context of head coverings, we're challenged to look beyond the surface to understand the spiritual truths they represent. This message invites us to consider how we submit to God-ordained authority in our lives, and how this submission can actually lead to greater freedom and harmony in our relationships and church communities.
1 Corinthians 11:17-34 will highlight how the Lord's Supper is meant to be a testimony to our unity as a church, a powerful moment to remember and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ, and an opportunity to reflect on what Jesus has done for us.As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself,"What does it mean to 'examine' myself?""Why is the Lord's Supper important?"
06-29-25 More Harm Than Good: 1 Corinthians 11:17-18 by Woodlawn Baptist Church
1 Corinthians 11:23–26 (ESV) — 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 hetook 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. INTRODUCTION: 3 Let Us ‘s Hebrews10:19–25 (ESV) — 19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Among the difficulties in the Corinthian church, there seemed to have been confusion or contention about gender roles. In addressing this, Paul starts with the order of creation and proceeds to then current customs. The upshot is that Scripture forbids dress or behavior that would confuse the two genders.
1 Corinthians11:17–22 (ESV) — 17 But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse. 18 For, in the first place, when youcome together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you. And I believe it in part, 19 for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized. 20 When you come together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat. 21 For in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal. One goes hungry, another gets drunk. 22 What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? No, I will not. 1 Corinthians10:6 (ESV) — 6 Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did. BEWARNED BY CORINTH'S EXAMPLE AS YOU PREPARE FOR WORSHIP OF CHRIST TOGETHER! (1) DON'T NEGLECT THE LOCAL GATHERING (v17,18,19,20,22)REMEMBER THE TRES LECHUGAS1. Let usDraw near! in full assurances andcleansed in conscience and action! (Hebrews10:22 Ephesians 3:7-13)2. Let usHold fast! Don't waver in hope! Because he has promised and he is faithful! (Hebrews 10:23 1 Timothy 3:14-16)3. Let usStir one another! To love and gooddeeds, encouraging one another all the more as we wait… (Eph. 4:11-16) Hebrews 10:24–25 (ESV) — 24 And let us considerhow to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, butencouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. (2) DON'T BE THE SOURCE OR SUPPORT OF FACTIONS… BUTTAKE REST IN THE WISDOM OF GOD. (v18-19)Matthew 18:7 (ESV) — 7 “Woe to the world for temptations to sin! For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the one by whom the temptation comes!1 Corinthians 3:16–23 (ESV) — 16 Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? 17 Ifanyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple. 18Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it iswritten, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,” 20 and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that theyare futile.” 21 So let no one boast in men. For all things are yours, 22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, 23 and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's. (3) DON'T COME SELF FOCUSED/ SERVING, BUT CHRIST ORIENTED AND OTHERS SERVING (v20-21)- Not the Lord's Table (1) Self -satisfying ignoring the needs of others (2) Self- indulging (4) DON'T IGNORE HIS PROVISION OF YOUR SPACE FORAUTONOMY (v22) 22 What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? (5) DON'T COME IN ARROGANCE AGAINST HIS CHOICES AND COMPASSION TO YOU(v22) 22 What! …Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? (6) INSTEAD BE ATTENTIVE TO JESUS' PREPARATION AT THETABLE (v23)1 Corinthians 11:23 (ESV) — 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…

Send us a text In this episode of the Bare Marriage Podcast, I am talking with Biblical Greek scholar Marg Mowczko about the true meaning of "headship" in the Bible. Marg reveals that the Greek word "kephale" (head) doesn't typically mean "leader" or "authority" in ancient literature, and that no verse actually commands men to lead their wives. Instead, head-body metaphors are used in Scripture to describe unity and mutual care and as a picture of growing into the likeness of Christ for ALL Christians. Together, Marg and I talk about the Biblical evidence of Paul's support for women in ministry roles. We also take a moment to discuss the best Bible versions for more accurate translation in key passages about submission and hierarchy.

1 CORINTHIANS Correction With Confidence Because The Faithfulness Of God Toward His Saints! 1 Corinthians 11:13–16 (ESV) — 13 Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a wife to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him, 15 but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering. 16 If anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, nor do thechurches of God. RESILIENTAND REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF EVALUATION V13 (a) THE HEART OF PAUL IN CORRECTION CONSTRAINED IN COMPASSION (b) THE HOPE OF PAUL IN CORRECTION CONSTRAINED TOTHE WORD Romans 9:1–3 (ESV) — 1 I am speaking the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit— 2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. 3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cutoff from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh. 2 Timothy 3:14–17 (ESV) — 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 15 and how from childhood you have beenacquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. RECOGNIZING CREATION AS ORDERED V14-15 (a) EMBRACING THE NATURE OF GOD'S DESIGN (IN A WORLD REJECTING IT) Romans 1:26–32 (ESV) — 26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the menlikewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them. (b) EXPRESSING THE NATURE OF GOD'S DESIGN Deuteronomy 22:5 (ESV) — 5 “A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God. REPENTING OF CONTENTION AS OUR CONDITION V16 (a) Recognizing our inclination (b) Recognizing or new identification Titus 2:11–15 (ESV) — 11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, 12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, 13 waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works. 15 Declare these things; exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you.
In today's Student Celebration Sunday message, Jarrod Swartz encourages us to consider what examples we follow, and what examples we set.
ON SUNDAY JUNE 1 @ 9:30 & 11:00 LOOKING TO JESUS IN THE LORD'S SUPPER - 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 What did Jesus mean when He told His disciples that they must eat His flesh and drink His blood to have eternal life? What about during the Last Supper when He said of the bread, "This is my body," and of the wine, "This is my blood,"? Different denominations have suggested a spectrum of beliefs concerning what Communion is and what it means. Looking at Paul's first letter to the Corinthians we'll see where exactly Jesus is whenever the Church observes this ordinance.

1Corinthians 11:8–12 (ESV) — 8 For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. 9 Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. 10 That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; 12 for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God. REVIEW: THE APPLICATION OF 3 TRUTHS OF HEADSHIP 1 Corinthians 11:3 (ESV) — 3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.

There is a truth given to us by Jesus that we need to believe. It's actually to our advantage that Christ would go to the Father SO that the Spirit could be sent to us. The hope in this series would be that we would come to believe this as ardently as Jesus, Himself AND that we would long to know and enjoy all that we have in the Person and work of the Holy Spirit of God.

Sermon, "1 Corinthians 11:17-34," by John Paternoster during the Morning Worship Service on Sunday, May 18, 2025, at Calvary Baptist Church in Battle Creek, Michigan
The first half of today's reading will cover Paul's recommendation to the Corinthian church concerning head coverings for women. While different cultures and different interpreters come to varying conclusions as to whether or not this particular recommendation is prescriptive in all societies, it is clear that Paul intends to establish a distinction between male and female, as well as a structure of authority. Next, Paul moves on to consider the celebration of the Lord's Supper within the church, particularly as it regards to fair distribution, unity within the body between those of varying socioeconomic status, and self-examination before partaking. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Its desire is contrary to you, but you must rule over it.” Ephesians 5:31–32 (ESV) — 31 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and motherand hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This mystery is profound, and I amsaying that it refers to Christ and the church. 1 Corinthians 11:10THE COSMIC SIGNIFICANCE OFGOD'S DESIGN “10 That is why a wife ought tohave a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.” 1 Peter 1:10–12 (ESV) — 10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets whoprophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquiredcarefully, 11 inquiring what personor time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted thesufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. 12 It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselvesbut you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those whopreached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, thingsinto which angels long to look.

In this message from our ongoing series A City of Light: A Study in 1 Corinthians, we return to a powerful and often misunderstood passage—Paul's teaching on the Lord's Supper in 1 Corinthians 11. Too often, these verses are isolated and stripped from their greater context, missing Paul's rebuke of a fractured, self-focused church and his call to radical, Christ-like community.What does it mean to “eat and drink in an unworthy manner”? Why is disunity such a dangerous threat to the Church? And how is true communion not just about remembering Christ individually, but embodying His sacrificial love together as His body?This sermon calls us to recover the depth and gravity of the Lord's Supper—not just as a personal reflection, but as a community-defining act. We'll explore:Why division in the church undermines our witness to the worldHow the Lord's Supper is meant to form a family, not just individual believersWhat it truly means to “discern the body” and care for one another in humility and unityHow the broken body and shed blood of Jesus call us to a life of shared responsibility and sacrificial loveIf you've ever felt disconnected from the church or struggled to see how communion shapes Christian community, this message will challenge and encourage you to reclaim the power of the table—and the people around it.
