'Taking The Bread And The Cup Of The Lord.'
1 Corinthians 11:27-34.
a) 1 Corinthians 11:27. Whoever eats the bread and cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner shall be guilty of sinning against the Body and Blood of the Lord.
b) 1 Corinthians 11:28. Every person needs time to examine themselves and then eat of the bread and drink of the cup. (This is not a mere religious action that Christians ''always do''. It is not to be passed over quickly so that the Minister can "get on with the service")
c) 1 Corinthians 11:29. People who partake of the bread and the cup without discerning the Body of Christ bring judgment upon themselves.
d) 1 Corinthians 11:30. This is why some people in the Church:-
1-Are weak.
2-Are ill.
3-Die.
e) 1 Corinthians 11:31. If we judge ourselves (and only ourselves) then we would not be judged.
f) 1 Corinthians 11:32. If we are Judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not finally be condemned with the people in the World system who are without Christ.
g) 1 Corinthians 11:33. This Holy Communion should be taken all together by the Body of the Church.
h) 1 Corinthians 11:34. If we are hungry we should eat at home first, then we will not come under Judgment in the Church. There was more that Apostle Paul was going to tell them when he came in person to Corinth.

'Mary's Holy Faith.'
Luke 1:38.
a) Mary answered the Angel that she was the Lord's Servant.
b) Mary asked that the Angel's Word to her would be fulfilled.
c) Then the Angel left.

The Church needs frequently, I suggest in the seven days before a monthly communion service, or the day before a weekly communion service, as suggested by Apostle Paul, to Judge itself. This probably should be done in the Believer's home or private room. Maybe this would have positive results in the Church!
