Sermon Recap:

Christlike in a Christless culture series:

“What is really at the center of your life?”

1 Corinthians 11:17-26

The table reminds us what we believe, how we belong, and who we are.

1.) The proclamation of Sacrifice orders my beliefs.
- communion pulls our eyes away from ourself, the table puts Jesus back in the center.
- Grace is free to us, but Grace was never cheap.
- Christianity didn’t start with “Do better” Christianity began with “it is finished.”
- Culture says “it depends on me.” Christ says It is finished.

2.) The experience of community orders our culture.
- Every person we encounter is someone Christ died for.
- The church cannot build a table of grace by building a culture of status.
- We don’t just preach grace, we create a culture that is shaped by grace.
- Culture says Build Status. Christ says Practice Grace.

3.) The declaration of the new Covenant orders my identity.
- Culture says Jesus belongs to me. Christ says I belong to Jesus.
- Jesus is not an addition to the life you built, He is the foundation that you build your life on.

Sunday Recap!

“Culture says Jesus belongs to me. Christ says I belong to Jesus.”

10/18/2026

Something is ordering your life. The question is: Is it Jesus?

Your career. Money. Comfort. Relationships. Approval. Politics. Your past. Your desires.

Every life has an ordering center, something that determines what matters most, shapes how we see ourselves, influences how we treat people, and decides what receives our time, attention, and resources.

In 1 Corinthians 11:17–26**, Paul confronts a church whose life together had gotten out of order. Their culture, status, appetites, and preferences had begun shaping the church more than Jesus.

So Paul brings them back to the table.

Because communion isn't merely something Christians do. Communion shows us the proper order of the Christian life.

In this message from Christlike in a Christless Culture, Pastor Anthony looks at three ways communion reorders our lives around Jesus:

What do I believe?
His sacrifice orders my beliefs.
My life begins with what Christ has accomplished for me, not what I can accomplish for Him.

How do we belong?
His grace orders our culture.
We cannot celebrate a table of grace while creating a culture of status, division, unforgiveness, and selfishness.

Who am I?
His covenant orders my identity.
I am not ultimately defined by my past, success, failure, reputation, or desires. I belong to Jesus.**

The table reminds us **what we believe, how we belong, and who we are.

Communion invites us to ask a deeper question than simply, “Do I take communion?”

Is my life ordered around Jesus?

If Jesus is at the center, everything else can find its proper order. Pasted markdown

Check out this past week's sermon on the app or on youtube. What's the 'except' in your life? That one thing you're keeping from God? Jesus doesn't negotiate for partial control. He calls us to complete surrender because He knows what's best for every part of who we are.

TOMORROW IS GOING TO LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT AT CONNECT.

After the storms, we believe this is an opportunity to be the Church—not just gather as the Church.

Connect Church - Brantley
Brantley will be fully operational with our normal Sunday service. If you’re looking to gather for worship and the Word tomorrow, join us at Brantley! 10:30am.

Connect Church - New Brockton
Instead of our normal services, we will gather at 10:00 AM.

We’ll worship together with a couple of acoustic songs, share a quick word, pray, and then GO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY.

We’ll be going door to door:
• Praying with people
• Helping with yard and storm cleanup
• Finding needs and meeting them as we go
• Loving our neighbors in practical ways

If you’re able, bring bottled water and non-perishable food that we can use to help families who need it.

Tomorrow you have two options:

Want to attend a service? → BRANTLEY.
Want to serve our community? → NEW BROCKTON.

Church isn’t canceled in New Brockton.

We’re taking it outside the building.

Let’s be the hands and feet of Jesus to our community tomorrow.

Freedom without love is just selfishness with a permission slip. Christlike freedom cares more about your neighbor's wellbeing than proving your rights. Choose love.

Your choices today are writing the story your children will live tomorrow. 📖 What you think is freedom, your kids might inherit as chains. It's time to ask the hard questions: Am I okay with my son following my footsteps? Am I modeling the man I want him to become?

Freedom gives you choices, but wisdom teaches you which ones are worth making. 💭 Don't get stuck asking 'how close can I get?' Instead, ask yourself: Where is this decision taking me? Inspect the direction, not just the action.
