🤔Sermon Reflection: Today, we explored Jesus's act of flipping tables in the temple, not as a random outburst, but as a deliberate act of justice. He wasn't just upset about the money changers, but the entire system that excluded and exploited the marginalized. This wasn't about personal anger, but a righteous anger on behalf of others. Are we willing to examine our own anger? Is it rooted in love and justice, or something else? Jesus’s actions teach us that true justice requires relationship and proximity. How can we move closer to those we seek justice for? Let's strive to be a community that, like Jesus, makes room for the excluded. How can we, like Jesus, express love even in the face of injustice? 🕊️🔥🙏

The Gospels are full of stories of Jesus sharing meals with disciples, friends, and even tax collectors and Pharisees. In one moment he's multiplying bread to feed a whole crowd, next he's relaxing with his inner circle, and then he's telling curious elites stories about even greater banquets. These stories culminate in "the last supper" on the night before his crucifixion; a meal he invites his followers to continue eating long after his resurrection. Join us during the season of Lent, as we explore the rich imagery and symbolism of the table -- and how it speaks to our lives today.
