Jesus had eagerly looked forward to this Passover meal with His disciples. The Passover Meal looked back to the Exodus but it also looked forward to the coming Messiah. On this night Jesus would use this meal to explain what would take place the next day on the cross. We are instructed to share this meal together to remember and to proclaim His death until He returns. Jesus Easts with the Disciples

Jesus Eats with Mary and Martha

January 28, 2024 • Pastor Bill West • Luke 10:38–42

Jesus joins his dear friend for a meal and uses this time to clarify some things for them and us. He said there are many things that you can and should do, but that there is really only one thing that you need to do. In a culture that values activity and accomplishment; Jesus makes it clear that we find more value in taking time to be with God and others. Relationships matter more than accomplishments.

January 14, 2024 • Pastor Phil Burdoin • Luke 9:10–17

Jesus gives his disciples an impossible task that cannot be done apart from His work in their lives. Jesus now gives them the task of feeding over 5,000 people which they cannot do. He uses this event to demonstrate to them their inability to provide and His ability to provide, and to provide even MORE than we could ever imagine or need. Jesus Feeds and Eats with 5,000
