God’s Hospitality

This Sunday we’ll continue our Taste and See series by looking at a story of the early church from Acts 2. Many have commented how often Jesus is going to meals, eating meals, or coming from meals in the four Gospels. So it is no surprise that when we look at the early church in the book of Acts, they are doing a lot of eating! Very quickly, the meal became a focal practice in the early church for participating in Jesus’ work of salvation. We’ll talk this week about why the common meal was so important in the early church and why it is a vital practice for our life together today.

God’s Rest

This Sunday we’re starting a new summer sermon series called “Taste and See." We’ll be tracing the theme of food and feasting throughout the Bible. In each of biblical stores we’ll study, we’re looking at the different ways that God nourishes us. We’ll see that the meals God provides give us the opportunity to actually experience his goodness–to “taste and see” who He is, what kind of kingdom he is inaugurating here on earth, and to invite others to the table.
