How To Prepare For The Lord's Supper (29 of 40)
Series: Living Under Kingdom Authority

1 Corinthians 10:14-23, 31-32
Last time together we saw where Paul said in chapter 10.13, ''No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.''

The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17 For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread. 18 Observe Israel after the flesh: Are not those who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 19 What am I saying then?
