Resting in Him

Resting in Him

February 25, 2024 • Dave D'Angelo • Mark 2:23–28, John 19:30, Matthew 11:28, Mark 3:6

What do you hold closely as part of your identity? Are you resting in your distinctiveness? Resting in the wrong place is actually no rest at all. When we rest in anything other than the gospel, we will always find ourselves weary, unsatisfied, and always on guard trying to protect our distinctiveness. Jesus wants us to put our striving aside, trust Him, and rest in Him alone.

More from Around the Table: Jesus, Meals, and Ministry

Return to Remembrance

March 24, 2024 • Amanda Beggs • Ephesians 2:4–10, Matthew 26:19–29, 1 Corinthians 11:23–26, John 6:35

Rituals never fill us, but remembrance does. Remembrance brings our eyes back to Jesus. Sometimes we treat the table as ritual, yet it is remembrance that deepens our love for Jesus. Moments of remembrance are sacred moments. We walk away thankful, filled, and connected. At the table, we find grace for everything we need. We find the grace of nourishment, gratitude, and communion.

Spiritual Self-Control: Pushing Back The Enemy

March 17, 2024 • Dave D'Angelo • Psalm 23

Do you invite the enemy to your table? The devil looks for a seat at our table to distract us from God’s call on our lives and to turn us from God’s provision to our own provision. The devil feeds us lies, distracts, deceives, and devours us. With spiritual self-control, we can push the chair back so the devil can watch us eat the beautiful feast God provided for us. We must abandon all outcomes to God, giving Him our ultimate trust.

Interruption or Invitation?

March 10, 2024 • Scott Stevens • Luke 19:1–10, Deuteronomy 2:2–3

Are you knowingly or unknowingly wandering and or settled in a place that you were only meant to pass through? Are you willing to allow Jesus to interrupt your schedule? When we allow God to reset our schedule, what we think might be an interruption, might be an invitation for a breakthrough in our lives.
