What if the only thing standing between your past and your purpose… is two simple words from Jesus: “Follow me.”
In At The Table, Part 5, we encounter one of the most powerful and unexpected moments in the Gospels. Jesus calling Matthew, a despised tax collector, from his booth to a seat at the table.
This message reminds us that Jesus doesn’t wait for us to get it all together before calling us and when He does, everything changes.
You’ll be challenged to:

Identify what’s keeping you “sitting at the booth” instead of following
Break free from self-condemnation and step into God’s mercy
See how your table can become a place of encounter and transformation
Invite others, just as they are, to experience Jesus

The table of Jesus is not for the perfect—it’s for the willing.
📖 Scripture: Matthew 9:9–13

What happens when someone shows up at the table… that no one thinks belongs there?
In At The Table, Part 4, we step into a powerful and uncomfortable moment where a “sinful” woman crashes a religious dinner.
This message challenges the way we see others, the way we approach Jesus, and the kind of tables we create. Are we simply inviting people or are we truly welcoming them? Are we coming to evaluate Jesus, or to be changed by Him?

No matter your past, your reputation, or what you carry—there is a seat for you at the table of Jesus.
📖 Scripture: Luke 7:36–50

🙏 Includes Communion

The invitation has already been sent. The table is set. Everything is ready.
So why do we hesitate to show up?
In At The Table, Part 3, we dive into Jesus’ parable of the Great Banquet and confront a challenging truth: it’s not that we aren’t invited, it’s that we often make excuses. Work, responsibilities, comfort, and distractions can quietly take priority over the very community and relationship we say we long for.
This message calls us to examine what’s keeping us from the table and reminds us that the Kingdom of God isn’t just a future promise, it’s a present reality we’re invited to step into right now.

📖 Scripture: Luke 14:15-24

Mary gives us a wonderful exchange with Jesus that perfectly portrays what is expected and what can happen when you invite Jesus to your "Table". John 2:1-11

What happens when what once felt full begins to run dry; Our community, our joy, our sense of connection?

In At The Table, Part 2, we look at Jesus’ first sign at the wedding in Cana and discover a powerful truth: Jesus meets us in ordinary places, at ordinary tables, when we are honest about what is lacking. This message explores the quiet crisis of isolation, the importance of naming our need, and how Jesus restores not just enough, but abundance.

Whether your table feels crowded or empty, joyful or strained, we invite you to consider how Jesus wants to take a seat in your everyday life and transform what seems ordinary into something extraordinary.

Come be reminded that with Jesus, the best has not passed you by and that community, renewal, and grace can still be poured out.
