The Table


I was moved by seeing the generations gathered around the table of the Family of God last week.  How do the vast generations, in all their cultural differences, come together in unity as the family of God?   We know that God is restamping His image in us through Christ and His family.  This is God’s rescue plan.  Jesus came to bring reconciliation to our relationship with God and each other by defeating sin at its source on the cross.  The resurrected Jesus invites us to new life at the table of the Family of God. At the table, we tune in to one another as we experience reconciliation and forgiveness. At the table, we start to understand each other at a deeper level, moving in the direction of what unifies and heals us rather than what makes us different.

This Sunday is about all about tools!  All dads love tools!  These are tools to prepare your family for the Family of God.  These are the tools that impact eternity as we join in the rescue mission of God.  Read Ephesians 6:4, Colossians 3:12 and Proverbs 20:5 in preparation for our Father’s Day Sunday.

  1. I liked seeing the different generations at the table. It really has helped me to visualize the age groups that I need to connect with. There are about 3 age groups that I will have to try harder to get to know and help along where/when I can. Thanks for the illistration.
