Wait For One Another

11/7/2021

 
ICEBREAKER
What’s the fanciest banquet or party you’ve ever been to? Was there anyone famous or popular there?

Today we’re talking about the command to “wait for another.” The reality is that there will always be differences between rich and poor, privileged and disadvantaged. But the truth is, those differences don’t belong in the Body of Christ, the Church. God calls us to restraint and generosity. 

FROM THE TRUTH
Read or review 1 Corinthians 11:20-33. Based on what you see in verses 20-23 and remember from the message, what was going on in the Corinthian church around the Lord’s Supper?

What did Paul mean when he said: “unworthy manner” in verse 27 and our need to “examine” in verse 28 and be “discerning” in verse 29?

What did Paul mean when he said “weak”, “sick”, and “fallen asleep” in verse 30?

What did Paul mean when he said in verse 33, as it’s translated in the ESV, “wait for one another”?
​

FROM THE TAKEAWAY
​
Is there any privilege that you have that others don’t? Is there any need to restrain it in the church?

Are there ways in which your personal desires and selfishness sometimes overcome our respect for Christ and others in the church?

FINAL QUESTION
How does living this “one another” make us irresistible people?

PRAYER
First, take some time to ask people to identify prayer needs related to the discussion about encouraging one another. Second, take some time to ask for additional prayer requests. Then close your time together in prayer.

About Us
First Covenant Church is part of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC), which is a rapidly growing multi-ethnic denomination in the United States and Canada, with ministries on five continents of the world. Founded in 1885 by Swedish immigrants, the ECC values the Bible as the word of God, the gift of God's grace, and an ever-deepening spiritual life that comes through faith with Jesus Christ. We value the importance of extending God's love and compassion to a hurting world, and the strength that comes from unity within diversity. ​
