Participants in Christ
- The Nature and Danger of Idolatry
- Communion as Participation in Christ
- The Blessings of Participation in Christ
Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion:
- Read 1 Corinthians 10:14-22. What is idolatry? In Paul’s context what does idolatry look like? What does idolatry look like in our context?
- Why is idolatry so dangerous? In what ways do we end up having divided hearts (serving both idols and Christ)?
- What does communion have to do with idolatry?
- What is the nature of our “participation” in the blood of Christ and the body of Christ?
- What are the blessings of participating in Christ? Why are these so significant?
Memory Verse of the Week: 1 Corinthians 10:16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? (ESV)
