Bentonville Church Of Christ

A covenant is a legal arrangement that makes a relationship more intimate and binding. In ancient times, God made a binding promise to his people that now gives us intimacy with him.

I Corinthians 11:17-34 In ancient Corinth, the church was failing to recognize that each member of the community was equally valuable. Paul uses the communion meal teaching to remind them that they are to recognize each other as valuable members of Christ's community.

1 Corinthians 10:16-17 The Apostle Paul had a favorite image for the church: parts of a body that are joined together and need each other to function in a healthy manner. In a mysterious way, God uses the communion meal that all Christians share to bind us together in spiritual unity.
