The Lords Supper
Paul Pierucki · June 24, 2026 · 6:00 PM service
Pastor Pierucki teaches on the Lord's Supper as a memorial service given to the local church, beginning in 1 Corinthians 12:27 and working through 1 Corinthians 11:20-34. He explains why the body of Christ in Scripture is a local assembly, compares open, close, and closed positions on communion alongside the church's practice on baptism, and defends unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine as the proper elements. He then shows that eating unworthily points to self-righteousness rather than lost salvation, using John the Baptist, the centurion, and the prodigal son as examples, and closes in Psalms 22 on what Christ suffered on the cross.
“When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord’s supper. For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. …”
