Mark 8:1-10 “Table Fellowship: Thanksgiving”



In this Thanksgiving message, we’re going to return to the table to count our many blessings. So much of our quality of life depends upon our perspective. In a culture that is constantly telling you that you need bigger and better so that you’ll buy more of their products, we’re going to begin focusing on how much we already have, especially as it relates to eternal life and the relationships that we cherish. Practicing ‘Thanksgiving’ is the only thing we need for an enriched life.

Leviticus 23:4-8 “Table Fellowship: Remembering”



As we head into our season of celebrations, gathering around tables at Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, let’s focus on Remembering why we gather. The Jewish people celebrate seven festivals a year in order to remember. In Remembering they are also identifying who they are, what they believe, and what they look forward to seeing God bring about in their lives and in the world.

Luke 5:27-32 “Table Fellowship: Outreach”



One of the controversial practices Jesus was faulted for was his insistence on sharing the dinner table with anyone who wanted to join him there. The religious leaders described Jesus’ guests as ‘tax collectors and sinners,’ for which Jesus made no apology. It is those who don’t have it ‘all together’ that God is drawing to Himself and eating together, building relationships, is the among the main ways Jesus reaches out to those who were once strangers. This model of spending time together around the table is still one of the most effective means for building Christ-centered relationships today.
