Meals with Jesus
Luke 5:27-32
Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church
A young family invited their neighbors over for dinner one night. Their four-year-old daughter, curiously asked her mother, “Who are they? Why are they eating here?” Her mother replied, “Daddy and I want to get to know them because they’re our neighbors, so we invited them over for dinner. Eating together is one of the easiest ways to make friends!” Later that night at bedtime, the mother peeked into her daughter's room and saw a curious scene: all her daughter’s dolls were sitting on a blanket surrounding plastic food. “What are you doing, honey?” she asked. “They’re all neighbors and they want to get to know each other!” the daughter explained excitedly.
Jesus modeled to His disciples the kind of lives and ministries He wanted for them, and His practice of sharing a meal with others was intentionally laid out as an example. In this message, you'll learn how opening your home and dinner table can have lasting impacts on the kingdom of God.
