In this video, Pastor Bob Beckler discusses the importance of hospitality. Hospitality and grace is vital to the health of the Church! In this message, Pastor Bob illustrates how Jesus transformed lives through dining relationships, highlighting the significance of offering grace, speaking truth, and sharing meaningful conversations around the table. This is contrasted by the behaviors of a Pharisee and a woman known for her sinful life, demonstrating that true worship stems from understanding forgiveness and love. Ultimately, we are encouraged to serve as welcoming figures within their community, reflecting Jesus's love and presence to others.

From Series: "At the Table // Having dinner with Jesus"

So much more than food is shared around the table. Conversation, connection, and care are passed back and forth with the roles and iced tea. Whether you're gathered with your family, a group of friends, or your colleagues in the breakroom, community is formed when we break bread together. In this six-week series, we'll spend time at the table with Jesus, observing the lessons He shared and the relationships He built. We'll learn, and then we'll be challenged to follow His example to share the love and compassion of Jesus with the people around us.
