Breaking Bread
Jesus did ministry around tables. He ate with tax collectors, welcomed sinful women to crash dinner parties, fed thousands on a mountainside, and broke bread with grieving disciples who finally recognised Him. Each meal revealed something essential about God's kingdom: grace for the undeserving, hope for the hungry, and a banquet invitation extended to all. This series explores how hospitality became Jesus' primary method of mission, and why sharing meals remains one of the most powerful ways we imitate Him. You'll discover how the Lord's Supper roots us in the cross, binds us as family, and points us toward the feast prepared for all who trust in Christ.
