BREAKING BREAD TOGETHERThey broke bread in their homes (v.46)They broke bread whenever they ate (Acts 20.7; 27.35)Sharing a meal was a sacred bond (John 13.18)Their meals were ‘love feasts’ (Jude v12) Slide7

THE BODY OF CHRIST20 So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat,

21 for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers. As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk.

28 Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup.

29 

For those who eat and drink without discerning

the body of Christ

eat and drink judgment on themselves.

33 

So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all

eat together

.

34 

Anyone who is hungry should eat something at home, so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment.Slide9
