Each meal was more than just a time for nourishment; it was an opportunity to teach, to welcome, and to extend grace. • As we delve into this series, we’ll focus on key table manners that Jesus exemplified and encouraged, including: • 1. *Welcoming the Unexpected:* Jesus frequently broke social norms, inviting everyone to the table—rich, poor, sinner, and saint alike. We’ll reflect on how we can embrace diversity and open our hearts to those around us. • 2. *Serving Others:* In the act of washing His disciples' feet, Jesus modeled the humility of service. We’ll explore the significance of serving others in our daily lives and how it reflects the heart of our Savior. • 3. *Being Present:* At the table, Jesus engaged in meaningful conversations. We’ll learn the importance of being present and attentive, mirroring Christ’s love and focus in our interactions. • 4. *Sharing Grace:* Each meal with Jesus was an opportunity for healing and forgiveness. We will discuss the power of sharing grace with those who are struggling, just as Jesus did. • 5. *Creating Community:* Jesus used meals to foster community and build relationships. We’ll look at how we can cultivate fellowship within our church and broader community, following Christ's example. • Throughout this series, we will examine specific Biblical passages and parables that highlight these table manners of Jesus, inviting us to reflect not only on our physical dining experiences but also on how we are called to live out these lessons in our spiritual journey and daily relationships. • Join us each week as we uncover the transformative power of hospitality, service, and connection through the lens of Christ's table manners. Bring your heart and your appetite for grace as we feast together in faith!
