Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
Throughout the Gospels, Jesus is frequently depicted sharing meals with all kinds of people. Jesus seemingly never turned down a dinner invitation, and sometimes, he even invited himself! Whether it was in the home of a tax collector, or a Pharisee, Jesus knew the power of a shared meal.
This summer, from July 6 to August 17, we’re diving into a new worship series called Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, where we’ll explore some of the meals Jesus shared — and what those moments mean for us today.
