George Cutting
George Cutting (N/A – 1934) was a British preacher and evangelist whose ministry within the Plymouth Brethren movement focused on gospel proclamation and personal assurance of salvation across the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in England, likely in the mid-19th century, specific details about his early life, including his parents and upbringing, are not widely documented, though his writings suggest a conversion experience that propelled him into ministry. His education appears informal, centered on self-directed biblical study rather than formal theological training, typical of Brethren lay preachers. Cutting’s preaching career gained prominence through his itinerant evangelism and authorship of widely circulated tracts, most notably Safety, Certainty and Enjoyment (circa 1880s), which offered simple, scriptural answers to seekers and sold over a million copies in multiple languages. His sermons and writings, including The Last Revival and The Two Natures, emphasized the believer’s security in Christ and readiness for His return, delivered at Brethren assemblies and open-air meetings across England. Known for his brother Arthur, also a gospel preacher, George remained in fellowship with Brethren leader James Taylor Sr. until his death. Married status and family details remain unrecorded. He died at age unknown in 1934 in England, with his funeral noted among Brethren circles.

Sermon Summary
George Cutting emphasizes the significance of the one loaf in the Lord's Supper as a symbol of the unity of the Church, representing believers as one body despite differences. By partaking in the one loaf, Christians acknowledge their union with all true believers worldwide, while maintaining fellowship with those who walk in obedience and holiness. The Holy Spirit values inward holiness over outward unity, as highlighted in 1 Corinthians 5:6-8, 13.
Scriptures
The Lord's Table
If you turn to 1 Cor. 10:16, you will find that just as twelve loaves on the table of shewbread expressed what Israel was; viz., twelve tribes (Lev. 24:5, 6), so the one loaf of the Lord’s supper is the symbol to express the truth of what the Church on earth is; viz., one body. ‘We being many are one bread (or loaf) and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread (or loaf)” (1 Cor. 10:17). So that in partaking of the one loaf, the divinely-taught Christian owns his union with all true believers on the face of the whole earth, whatever their ignorance, weakness, or Christ-dishonoring divisions may be. But while he does this, he can only have fellowship with those who are seeking to walk in obedience to the Word, and in separation from manifested evil, The Holy Spirit of God would certainly never seek to maintain outward unity at the expense of inward holiness.[1] (Read 1 Cor, 5:6, 7, 8, 13). I would just add here, that while the tenth chapter of this epistle speaks of the Lord’s table, the eleventh speaks more particularly of
