1 Corinthians 11

As the Apostle Paul sought to heal some of the problems in the Church at Corinth, he tackled the issue of misguided worship.  Some in the church had lost focus on what was most important in a Christian fellowship.  Even the communal meals at which the Lord’s Supper was observed were, in Paul’s words, “doing more harm than good.”  What seems to have gone wrong?

Rituals had become more important than relationships.  Matthew 5:23-24

Freedoms were used for selfishness rather than servanthood.  Galatians 5:13

The focus had become pleasing themselves rather than pleasing God.  John 4:23-24
