WELCOMING

WEEK FOUR: TABLES II

Jesus used meals to build bridges with people who weren't like Him—something that got Him into a lot of trouble with the religious leaders. The goal for this week is to make your table a place where you build relationships with people who are different from you.

    Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

 

Luke 14:12-14
