The Table of Discipleship - This Is Church - Joey McLaughlin
Manage episode 434286753 series 2893009
Have you ever considered how much of Jesus ministry happened around the table? One of the things that you might pick up on in Luke's investigation in the life of Jesus in his gospel, is the theme of memorable meals.
The church is not the church, the atmosphere is not the ekklesia, without you consistently gathering with other people around the table.
What would happen if you reimagined how you started thinking about the table? Early on in the Christian movement, Christianity didn't take shape behind pulpits, altars, or in books. It took shape around a table.
42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe[a] came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
Acts 2:42-47
