Pull up a chair to the Contented Table for a pause, in the midst of summer.
Bring Peace to your table and rest for your spirit through His words of nourishment for body and soul.
In Session 4, of our Summer Bible Study, we sit around my corner table where you can lean in, to hear what the Word tells you about restful gathering.
I’ve taken the notes for you. All done.
The Bible passage:
Luke 22:18, 24-30
Application to your everyday nourishment:
* Jesus is welcoming you into His presence where is is no condemnation, no shame.
* You can look forward to the Banquet Table where Jesus is saving you a seat.
* You can serve other hearts that need Peace and Rest using your table.
Putting into Practice:
* Pick a day to set one more place setting at your table.
* Make one more serving, to bless another.
* Think of one person to welcome to your table this week.
Questions that remain to keep seeking, to ponder, and to pray about:
* Have I accepted His invitation to sit at His table? If not, what is causing my hesitation?
* Have I given myself permission to sit in His presence in the place of honor?
* Do I feel welcome? Do I believe there is no condemnation, no shame at His table?
* Will I join the movement to always have room for one more? Serve others as Jesus did and ask us to?
Here are the two songs mentioned, that will help you look up in praise and fill up with His love for you:
Come to the Table - Sidewalk Prophets

I pray this Bible Study has led you into abiding in Christ which rebounds into worship. It’s where you find Peace and Rest.
