servant for Christ Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Q4. (1 Corinthians 11:26) In what way is the Lord's Supper a proclamation? To whom is the proclamation made? Why is this important? What happens to the church when its proclamation shifts to a different central theme? It is a proclamation because we are continually proclaiming Christ death and His soon return. It is made to everyone. It is imortant because he tells of his sacrifice for our sins. When the proclamation shifts, the church starts to die, losing sight of God, losing sight that he died for our sins so that we could have eternal life.

What happens to the church when its proclamation shifts to a different central theme? 1 Corinthians 11:26 - "For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes." In what way is the Lord's Supper a proclamation? It is announcing to all of us to come to the table to celebrate our Lord and Saviour's death until He comes. To whom is the proclamation made? First to all believers, but I believe all are called who want to share in the Lord's Supper. Why is this important? To remember Him and all that He did for us. What happens to the church when its proclamation shifts to a different central theme? They are no longer focusing on Jesus, but the world values.

PASTOR D Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Our participation in the Lord's Supper is a demonstration that proclaims the message that Jesus sacrificed His life for the sins of humanity. . . This proclamation is made both to believers and non-believers. . . This proclamation is important because the message proclaims that our sins are atoned for by the broken body and shed blood of Jesus. . . When the Church shifts to a different "Central Theme" - the people miss the message as well as the purpose of the message. . . John 3:16-17 (KJV) 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Romans 8:16 (KJV) 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: Titus 2:11-14 (KJV) 11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Foofee's Nana Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 In what way is the Lord's Supper a proclamation? It is a proclamation in that each time we take of the Lord's Supper we are showing our belief in the death on the cross that Christ Jesus paid for us. To whom is the proclamation made? This is for believers and also as a witness to non-believers because God's desire is that ALL come to know Him. Why is this important? It is important so we always remember that He died for us on the cross for the forgiveness of our sin. What happens to the church when its proclamation shifts to a different central theme? If the church shifts to something other than Christ centered we lose the power and all that Christ gave for us....in a sense we become worldly.

Kerneydr Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Q4. (1 Corinthians 11:26) In what way is the Lord's Supper a proclamation? It explains the reason or purpose of remembering the Lord's Supper -- to remember Christ's death on the cross for us. To whom is the proclamation made? It is made to Christians as a reminder and to those sideline observers who are not Christians it is one of the many opportunities of sharing with them the message of Good News. Why is this important? So that people will know the central message of Christianity and not forget it. What happens to the church when its proclamation shifts to a different central theme? It gets off track. There is no other central message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacquie7 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 The Lord's Supper is a proclamation of Jesus' death on the cross not only made to the people of Corinth but also to all believers in Christ. It is important because it is about the sacrifice Jesus made in which He fulfilled many Old Testament prophecies and it is the means of our redemption. When the church shifts to a different theme, it fails to follow the instructions Jesus left, leaving itself open to anything other than Christ, and forgetting about the very foundation of the New Covenant (His broken body and shed blood). It fails to exercise self-judgment of actions and on to sin resulting in God’s judgment as with the Corinthian church. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgandy Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 The Lord's Supper is a proclamation in that He said "Do this in remembrance of me." Also by partaking of the Holy Communion we are telling others of our Lord's death until He comes again. This proclamation is made to everyone. This proclamation is different in that it come from Jesus Christ Himself. If the church were not to celebrate this proclamation we are forgetting the reason He came. He came to set us free. Free from sin and give us a path the our Holy Father. What kind of church would we be if we ignore the reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoanG Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 The Lord's Supper proclaims that Christ came to give up His life for our sins. His body was going to be broken and His blood was going to be spilled for the sacrifice for our sins. The proclamation is made 1st to the apostles and now is shared with all who have ears. It is so important because it shows us how Christ died for us. He loved us so much and wanted to reunite us to God as His children. I feel that the church would do a great injustice to people by changing this most important message that Christ gave us. I think that it would cause people to really wonder why they are worshipping. I also feel that it would cause people to go else where to find answers that satisfy their souls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debra Grant Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Q4. (1 Corinthians 11:26) In what way is the Lord's Supper a proclamation? To whom is the proclamation made? Why is this important? What happens to the church when its proclamation shifts to a different central theme? 1. "For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes." (1 Corinthians 11:26) The Lord’s supper is proclaimed when we do it according to his will, otherwise, it is in vain. 2. To the followers of Christ and in agreement with Christ then to unbelievers. 3. It helps us to remember that Jesus Christ gave his life as a sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sins! 4. It shifts when the church does not proclaim the gospel of the crucified Christ to all mankind. Therefore, it cannot be strengthen as it should, corruption can come in, people will be misled, and God will be forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.B Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 (1 Corinthians 11:26) In what way is the Lord's Supper a proclamation? When I eat of the bread and drink the cup of the Lord. In this way it is a living proclamation. To whom is the proclamation made? It's a public declaration, so I would venture to say we proclaim it to all in attendance, including self. Why is this important? The verse reads "For as often..." We often hear preachers talk about those who only come to church on special occasions but we are told by the author of the Hebrew letter not to forsake our own assembly, as is the habit of some, but encourage one another. (Heb 10:25) That coupled with Acts 20:7 where the central reason for their coming together it's no stretch to foresee a need for a revival. What happens to the church when its proclamation shifts to a different central theme? What if believers everywhere were in one accord with observing the Lord's Supper on every first day of the week? If that were so, it would also stand to reason that the proclamation would also go out to our neighbors who see and know that we hold it in high regard. What a testimony that would be. But the sad condition of the church today has lost that silent powerful proclamation and call to the unsaved. Moreover, I ask where are the churches listed in Revelation?
