Jacob had the pleasure of preaching at Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church on Sunday, February 26, 2023. He preached on 1 Corinthians 11:23 about what Paul has received and what he delivered.

We typically think of this verse as an introductory note in the larger, more important section about the Lord's table (v17-34). It is situated in the middle of both a rebuke and a corrective instruction for the Corinthian church regarding the practice of communion. While this sentence may seem like a simple linking idea, there is much to be learned from in considering these inspired Words from the Holy Spirit through Paul. This is a genesis, a backstory to all that he’s shared with the Corinthians.
