One: When My Christian Liberties Run Over Your Traditions
Joe Dillon - May 24, 2026
In 1 Cor. 11, Paul addresses 2 culturally charged issues in Corinth: head coverings and conduct at the Lord's Supper. The early church was learning how to live out their newfound Christian liberties in a culture where certain practices carried deep social meaning. Paul's concern was not preserving traditions for their own sake, but ensuring that nothing distracted from the Gospel. He touches on 3 key principles: avoiding sexual confusion by honoring God's design of male and female as equal yet complementary, understanding headship as transformed servant leadership where all Christians submit to one another, and exercising wisdom and sensitivity so personal freedoms do not overshadow the Good News. Paul then rebukes the Corinthians for turning the Lord's Supper into a selfish and divisive gathering rather than a remembrance of the price Christ paid for our salvation. Paul calls Christians to approach the table with humility, reverence, self-examination, and consideration for one another as members of Christ's body. The chapter highlights a tension Christians still face today: standing firm in God's Truth while engaging culture in a way that points people to Christ. In a reactionary age, believers are often tempted to elevate opinions and preferences above the Gospel itself (especially through social media). Paul reminds the Church to be marked by humility, thoughtfulness, unity, and sacrificial love, trusting that God alone changes hearts, and traditions will follow.
