“The Lord’s Table: A Sacred Opportunity of
Grace” (1 Corinthians 11:17–34)
Cameron
Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Sun AM/August 3, 2014
 Hymn: “Holy, Holy, Holy” 
1 Corinthians 11:17–34 (NIV)
17 In
the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more
harm than good. 18 In the first place, I hear that when you come
together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I
believe it. 19 No doubt there have to be differences among you to
show which of you have God’s approval. 20 So then, when you come
together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat, 21 for when you are
eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers. As a result, one
person remains hungry and another gets drunk. 22 Don’t you have
homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God by humiliating
those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? Certainly
not in this matter! 23 For
I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the
night 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, after supper he took the
cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you
drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For whenever you eat this bread
and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. 27 So
then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy
manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28
Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink
from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the
body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. 30 That is why
many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. 31
But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come
under such judgment. 32 Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way
by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be finally condemned
with the world. 33 So
then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat
together. 34 Anyone who is hungry should eat something at home, so
that when you meet together it may not result in judgment. And
when I come I will give further directions.  
1.      
The Lord’s Table is
an opportunity to renew our
unity as the Church, the one Body of Christ (vv. 17–22, 33­–34). 
 Romans 12:3–8 (NIV)
3 For
by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more
highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in
accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. 4 For
just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all
have the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form
one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have
different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is
prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; 7 if
it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if
it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give
generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it
cheerfully.  
Hymn: “Our God Has Made Us
One” 
2.     
The Lord’s Table is
an opportunity to reflect on
our union with Jesus Christ, our Crucified and Risen Lord (vv. 23–26). 
Isaiah
52:13–53:12 (NIV) 13 See,
my servant will act wisely;
he
will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
14 Just
as there were many who were appalled at him—
his
appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being
and
his form marred beyond human likeness—
15 so
he will sprinkle many nations,
and
kings will shut their mouths because of him.
For
what they were not told, they will see,
and
what they have not heard, they will understand.
53 Who
has believed our message
and
to whom has the arm of the Lord
been revealed?
2 He
grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and
like a root out of dry ground.
He
had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing
in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He
was despised and rejected by mankind,
a
man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like
one from whom people hide their faces
he
was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
4 Surely
he took up our pain
and
bore our suffering,
yet
we considered him punished by God,
stricken
by him, and afflicted.
5 But
he was pierced for our transgressions,
he
was crushed for our iniquities;
the
punishment that brought us peace was on him, and
by his wounds we are healed.
6 We
all, like sheep, have gone astray, each
of us has turned to our own way;
and
the Lord has laid on him
the
iniquity of us all. 7 He
was oppressed and afflicted,
yet
he did not open his mouth;
he
was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and
as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so
he did not open his mouth.
8 By
oppression and judgment he was taken away.
Yet
who of his generation protested?
For
he was cut off from the land of the living;
for
the transgression of my people he was punished.
9 He
was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and
with the rich in his death,
though
he had done no violence,
nor
was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet
it was the Lord’s will to crush
him and cause him to suffer,
and
though the Lord makes his life an
offering for sin,
he
will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and
the will of the Lord will prosper
in his hand.
11 After
he has suffered,
he
will see the light of life and be satisfied;
by
his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many,
and
he will bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore
I will give him a portion among the great, 
and
he will divide the spoils with the strong,
because
he poured out his life unto death,
and
was numbered with the transgressors.
For
he bore the sin of many,
and
made intercession for the transgressors.  
Hymn: “Alas, and Did My Savior Bleed” 
3.     
The Lord’s Table is
an opportunity to repent and
judge ourselves now so that we will not be disciplined by the Lord or face
judgment on the last day of Christ (vv. 27–32, 34). 
Psalm
51 (NIV)
1 Have
mercy on me, O God,
according
to your unfailing love;
according
to your great compassion
blot
out my transgressions.
2 Wash
away all my iniquity
and
cleanse me from my sin.
3 For
I know my transgressions, and
my sin is always before me. 4 Against
you, you only, have I sinned
and
done what is evil in your sight;
so
you are right in your verdict
and
justified when you judge.
5 Surely
I was sinful at birth,
sinful
from the time my mother conceived me.
6 Yet
you desired faithfulness even in the womb;
you
taught me wisdom in that secret place.
7 Cleanse
me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash
me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Let
me hear joy and gladness;
let
the bones you have crushed rejoice.
9 Hide
your face from my sins
and
blot out all my iniquity.
10 Create
in me a pure heart, O God,
and
renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do
not cast me from your presence
or
take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore
to me the joy of your salvation
and
grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
13 Then
I will teach transgressors your ways,
so
that sinners will turn back to you.
14 Deliver
me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
you
who are God my Savior,
and
my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
15 Open
my lips, Lord,
and
my mouth will declare your praise.
16 You
do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you
do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
17 My
sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a
broken and contrite heart
you,
God, will not despise.
18 May
it please you to prosper Zion,
to
build up the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then
you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous,
in
burnt offerings offered whole;
then
bulls will be offered on your altar.  Hymn: “I Lay My Sins on Jesus”

Benediction:  
Hebrews
13:20–21 (NIV) 20 Now
may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought
back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, 21 equip
you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is
pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever.
Amen.

1 Corinthians 15 - Cameron Jungels - Easter Sunday AM April 20, 2014

“The
Resurrection Changes Everything” (1 Corinthians 15)
(Eastside; 4/20/14; Easter AM) The
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead changes everything. Everything, and
I mean everything, hangs or falls on whether or not Jesus of Nazareth died on a
Roman cross, was buried, and then came to life again physically and bodily on
the third day after his crucifixion.  For
a few minutes this morning, I want us to reflect on the eternal significance of
the resurrection of Jesus Christ from 1 Corinthians 15.  
1.      
Without the
resurrection we have no good news (gospel). 
2.      
If there is
no resurrection, then the apostolic witness and our Bible is all a fraud.a.       More than that, we are then found to be
false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised
Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not
raised. For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either.
(1 Co. 15:15-16, NIV 
3.      
If there is
no resurrection, then Jesus himself was a fraud and his death had no lasting
significance. 
4.     
Without the
resurrection we have no atonement for our sins.
a.       And if Christ has not been raised, your
faith is futile; you are still in your sins. (1 Co. 15:17, NIV)b.      He was delivered over to death for our
sins and was raised to life for our justification. (Romans 4:25, NIV) 
5.      
Without the
resurrection we have no faith and my preaching is pointless.
a.       And if Christ has not been raised, our
preaching is useless and so is your faith. (1 Co. 15:14, NIV) 
6.     
If there is
no resurrection, then Jesus of Nazareth is dead. There is no kingdom of God now
or in the future. There is no hope of return to Eden or of peace, justice, and
righteousness in the world.
a.       Then the end will come, when he hands
over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion,
authority and power.  For he must reign
until he has put all his enemies under his feet.  (1 Co. 15:24-25, NIV) 
7.      
Without the
resurrection there is no escape from the power of death and we have no hope
beyond this life for ourselves or for those who have gone before us.
a.       Then those also who have fallen asleep
in Christ are lost.  If only for this
life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. (1 Co.
15:18-19, NIV)
8.     
If there is
no resurrection, then there is no good reason to place any moral restraints
upon ourselves because there will be no judgment before God (Acts 17).
a.       If the dead are not raised, "Let
us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die." (1 Co. 15:32, NIV)
b.      "Therefore since we are God's
offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or
stone-- an image made by human design and skill.  In the past God overlooked such ignorance,
but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.  For he has set a day when he will judge the
world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to
everyone by raising him from the dead." (Acts 17:29-31, NIV) 
9.     
If there is
no resurrection, then there is no ultimate answer for the power of sin and its
penalty of death. Death is the victor, and the grave is the final end of all
people.
a.       For he must reign until he has put all
his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. (1 Co.
15:25-26, NIV)
b.      "Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?" The sting of death is sin, and the power
of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Co. 15:55-57, NIV) 
10.  
If there is
no resurrection, then all of our labors and hardships, for the Lord or even for
ourselves, have no lasting value or significance.
a.       And as for us, why do we endanger
ourselves every hour? I face death every day-- yes, just as surely as I boast
about you in Christ Jesus our Lord. If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus with no
more than human hopes, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised,
"Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."  (1 Co. 15:30-32, NIV) 
Listen, I tell you
a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed--in
a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will
sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. (1 Co.
15:51-52, NIV) 
Main
Idea: The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the most important
event in the history of the world. It therefore orients everything around it.
In faith our lives must be oriented around the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ from
the dead changes everything. 
And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile;
you are still in your sins. (1 Co. 15:17, NIV) If only for this life we have
hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.  But Christ has indeed been raised from the
dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.  (1 Co. 15:19-20, NIV) Therefore, my dear
brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves
fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is
not in vain. (1 Co. 15:58, NIV)

1 Corinthians 13::1-13 Venlon Bradford 6-24-2012

1 Corinthians 13::1-13-"Christian Love.”
I. The PLACE which the Bible gives to love. Colossians 3:14. 1 Timothy 1:5. 1 Peter 4:8. John 13:34, 35. Matthew 25:41-43.
II.  WHAT the love of the Bible really is.
(a) Love does not consist in giving to the poor. V. 3.
(b) Love does not consist in never disapproving anybody's conduct.
(c) Love does not consist in never disapproving anybody's religious opinions.
1 John 4:1. 2 John 1:10. Galatians 5:22.
III. Where the love of the Bible comes from.
IV. Let me show, lastly--why love is called the "greatest" of the graces. Look at v. 13. Why is love called the greatest?
(a) It is the one in which there is some likeness between the believer and his God.
(b) It is most useful to others. 1 Peter 4:8.
(c) Love is the one which endures the longest.
1 Corinthians 16:22. Proverbs 31:26. 1 Corinthians 16:14.
