For Us
1 Corinthians 11:17-32

Jesus Christ was given for us.

Good thing, because we have a sin problem (v. 17-22)

...and Jesus compels us to remember his great sacrifice (v. 23-26)

...but before we do, we must carefully examine our lives to see that we're in a good place to remember him in this way (v. 27-32)
