HOW DO WE PARTAKE IN THE ACT OF HOLY COMMUNION IN AN UNWORTHY MANNER?

1 Corinthians 11:26-27 "But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord".

IN OTHER WORDS IT HAS TO BE DONE WITH REVERENCE / RESPECT...... The KJV says "worthily", which some have misunderstood. It is an adverb, describing how we take it, not whether we are worthy (none are truly worthy). We recognize his grace applied to our unworthiness; when we faithfully examine ourselves in light of this unworthiness, we are not condemned, but forgiven.

• To let our minds wander  with our own things while partaking.
• Not knowing why we’re breaking the bread  & drinking the blood.
• Just copying others because we don’t want to be left out.
• Eating & drinking because we are craving it.
• Not being aware that the bread represents the body of Christ that was ‘broken’ for us.

• Not esteeming what the price of redemption cost.
