Reconsidering Hospitality
Worship online with thetable.live. Pastor Matt’s message is rooted in Matthew 25.31-46. In the Parable of Final Judgement, the King will say to the nations gathered before him, “…Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food…I was a stranger and you welcomed me…” (Matthew 25.34-35).

Growing in Faith
Matt’s message is rooted in the story of Jacob wrestling with the divine (Genesis 32) and Jesus’ parable on praying always and not losing heart (Luke 18.1-8). How might we be called to wrestle with God in our Deep Commitments to God and our community of faith?
Delayed
Linda’s message is rooted in Luke 13.1-9. The fig tree has an uncertain future, and truthfully, so do all of God’s people. Ultimately, God’s judgement comes. In the delay of that coming, how will we build our lives and ground our hope in the efforts that God, like the parable’s gardener, makes to prepare us for that judgment?
Planting Seeds
The Table at Central UMC is turning 7 this month! How has God led us over these seven years? Where do we find ourselves today? What might God’s invitation be for our future? Matt’s message is rooted in Matthew 21.23-32 and invites reflection on the seeds God is planting in our own lives and in the lives of our neighbors.
Good Samaritan
Matt’s message invites us to reconsider the Parable of the Good Samaritan based on Amy-Jill Levine’s Short Stories by Jesus: The Enigmatic Parables of a Controversial Rabbi.
