Featuring: Pastor Lucas Miles
In this episode, Pastor Lucas Miles unpacks 1 Corinthians 11:17–34, where Paul rebukes the Corinthians for distorting the meaning of communion. Instead of fostering unity, their approach reflected division and selfishness. Pastor Lucas explains the historical and cultural backdrop of these errors, contrasting the Christian practice of the Lord’s Supper with pagan rituals, and highlights the importance of remembering Christ’s sacrifice with the right heart. He also emphasizes how communion points believers to the anticipation of Christ’s return and the assurance of worthiness through Him.
Transitioning into 1 Corinthians 12, Pastor Lucas introduces Paul’s teaching on spiritual gifts. He addresses the Corinthians’ misuse of tongues, underscores the Spirit’s role in distributing diverse gifts, and reminds believers that all gifts exist for the common good and the strengthening of the church.
