1 Corinthians 11:17-34

Paul had gotten reports that the Corinthian church was divided. Even during the remembrance of the Lord's Supper, some would gorge themselves, not leaving enough food for others and some would become drunk from the wine. He reminded them that the Lord's Supper was to be taken solemnly after self-examination and preparing one's heart.

The Lord's Supper was not meant to be a party where people go to excesses with food and drink. It is something we do to remember the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross. When we make it about anything other than Christ's body and blood, disrespect everything He went through for us. Not just our actions, but our hearts as well need to honor our Savior each time we come to His table to do this in remembrance of Him.
