Living Rock Podcast Living Rock Church

In our ‘Love Builds Up’ series going through 1 Corinthians, we look at how, in chapters 11-14, Paul talks about the spiritual significance of our gatherings. In these chapters we see angelic engagement and Holy Spirit manifestation, we begin to see what should happen when we meet, and what should our expectations be!

Jesus describes himself as Lord of the Sabbath and encourages us to find "rest for our souls" in Him. As we continue to learn how to outwork a Kingdom culture in our day-to-day lives, we look at what real rest looks like and how we can find a rhythm of rest. We live in a culture of restlessness but as we choose to walk like Jesus we can learn to resist restlessness and instead enjoy a rest for our souls.

The gatherings of the church are full of power and potential and in this short message we look at some of the important aspects of and how we gather together every member can Prepare and play their part when we do so.

Whatever we face? - JESUS is the answer! Ask and He will come! He (the Centurion) knew where to come. We also need to “know” this, many times we try to do things in our own strength - We can be so quick not to seek Jesus first. I can sort this in my own power, with the counsel of others, my own ability, sometimes we feel like God will hold it against us if we "constantly" pester Him? But Centurion "knew" that Jesus was the answer. To often we wait until we get to "crisis management" He wants us to "share" our lives with Him. This is the way He wants us to walk.

We’re in 1 Corinthians 11 during our Love builds up series so let’s use the opportunity to dig deeper into the lessons of how not to break bread! We’ll look at some context of the scripture and then think about the importance of unity around the table, judgement around the table and proclamation from the table.
