In general

Paul is not anti marriage or sex

Our spiritual identity has nothing in what we do or who we are but our identity is in God

   Don't ever change anything.. married or single will not change our relationship with God

The community of faith is where Holy Spirit dwells

Not about equality but how much freedom

Don't bring shame

Pic while understanding 

When we enter a new community, don't change the culture anything we don't have to

God created male and female... There should be a distinction

   The function of equality... Both male and female can do

Mutual submission to each other

Problem

Problem: there is a bridge between rich and poor

Potluck.. the rich could bring the food, but the poor may not be able to bring any

   The rich came early, and ate the food.. till the poor arrives, the food is finished

1 Cor 11 17-22

Comment

Classes are washed away by the blood of Jesus

   There should be classes in a church

The Passover story

Whole lamb means unity

Celebrate together.. as ONE, not in individual groups

Passover story and Lord's supper

Comment discern

When we partake, keep ourselves clean before we partake

Comment

Become aware of the difference and not divided

   Ensure everyone in the community is treated equally

Can never leave anybody out of the community

God's grace is marginalized

   If there's anybody is left out there, it's violating the Lord's supper

The Lord's supper bread and cup covers every person

Purpose of Communion : we sinned, no chance

   God by grace gave us
