Grace & Truth 1 Corinthians 11:1-34 Honoring God by Honoring Each Other GETTING TO KNOW YOU Is there a worship song that speaks to you or causes an emotional response? What is it? What is it about the song that speaks to you?

QUICK REVIEW Looking back at your notes from this week’s teaching, was there anything you heard for the first time, caught your attention, challenged, or confused you?

MAIN POINT Self-centeredness leads us to dishonor God and others, but following in the way of Jesus leads us to honor God and consider the needs of others instead of merely indulging ourselves

DIGGING DEEPER 1. Read 1 Corinthians 11:1. Other than offering sound advice, how does this passage lead us in understanding the essence of 1 Corinthians 11? 2. Read 1 Corinthians 11:2-3. In these verses, is Paul saying that the husband is superior to the wife? Explain your answer. 3. Read 1 Corinthians 11:4-12.

What was the significance of a shaved head for a woman in the Corinthian culture? b. 1 Corinthians 11:7-9. Summarize what Paul is saying in these verses.

c. 1 Corinthians 11:10-12. How do these verses help explain the relationship and bond between men and women? Ultimately, who is glorified by this relationship? 4. Read 1 Corinthians 11: 20-34. From these verses, it appears that the Corinthian church was not properly observing the sacrament of communion. Describe in particular what they were doing to dishonor each other and the Lord. a. In 1 Corinthians 11:27-32, Paul describes the sin that is committed by their actions. What is it? What is the consequence of their actions? b. In 1 Corinthians 11:33. Paul suggests a solution to the problem. Does this make sense? Why or why not?
