After everything the cross, the failure, the denial, the confusion, Jesus prepares a table.
In the final installment of At The Table, we encounter a quiet but powerful moment after the resurrection: Jesus cooking breakfast on the shore for His disciples. Not a grand feast. Not a dramatic scene. Just a simple meal filled with grace, restoration, and calling.
This message reminds us that even when we’ve fallen short, drifted, or gone back to what’s familiar Jesus still meets us. He restores us, feeds us, and calls us forward again.

Because at the table of Jesus, failure is never final and the story isn’t over.
📖 Scripture: John 21:1–14
🍞 Series Finale: At The Table
🔥 Focus: Restoration, Grace, and Calling

In At The Table, Part 7, we look at the early church in Acts 2 and discover a blueprint for real, life-changing community. After thousands come to faith, the movement of Jesus doesn’t organize around events, it centers around everyday rhythms: gathering in homes, breaking bread, praying, and living life together.

You’ll be challenged to:

Move from casual participation to intentional devotion
Reimagine community beyond Sunday gatherings
Open your life and table to deeper connection
Experience how transformation happens in everyday moments, not just big ones

Because the early church didn’t just hear about the Kingdom
they experienced it together, around a table.

📖 Scripture: Acts 2:42–47
🍞 Series: At The Table
🏠 Focus: Devotion, Community, and Daily Living
Join us live and discover how ordinary tables can become extraordinary places of transformation.

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
🍞 Series: At The Table
🏠 Focus: Calling, Mercy, and Open Tables

Join us live this Sunday or in person at 1030am!!

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
🍞 Series: At The Table
🙏 Includes Communion

Join us live this Sunday or in person at 1030am!!

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
🍞 Series: At The Table
🏠 Focus: Community, Invitation, and Showing Up

Join us live this Sunday or in person at 1030am!!
