Looking Within 1 Corinthians 11:17-28 6-4-00

Looking Within 1 Corinthians 11:17-28 6-4-00

Rearranging things: arrowhead stadium/furniture in L room

Paul and the Corinthian church
Eating, drinking, thinking of themselves

Take it in an unworthy manner
What some think...I am not worthy
That makes you worthy
We are unworthy when we think we are not needy

A letter to my sister

Looking inside
We don't like to do it
We see our weakness, brokenness, sin

Politicians

It makes the relationship good, makes it honest

Scriptures on humility/contrition Isaiah & Psalms

We are worthy to come when we see our sin
We are not worthy to come when we don't see our sin

Isaiah 66:2 To this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at my word.

Psalm 34:18 The Lord is near unto them that are of a broken heart; and saves such as be of a contrite spirit.

Psalm 51:17 the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise

Isaiah 57:15 For thus says the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
