Sermons About Table
A Compassionate Heart
In the story of David and Mephibosheth we see the king demonstrate a great deal of compassion and mercy to a man who was an assumed enemy to the throne. The way that David seeks out an opportunity to show the loving-kindness of God to Mephibosheth, and the way that he makes room at his table for him, reflects to us the character of God and instructs us on how to live in response.

Come To The Table
Coming to "the Table" is a celebratory occasion! We can come knowing that God's provision, through Jesus, is COMPLETE! We can't add anything to what was done for us and by accepting this gift of love we can come to the table...in fellowship...in community...now and forever! What a gift!

A Prologue to the Decalogue
What are the Ten Commandments? How do they relate, if at all, to the New Testament Christian's life? Are they just commands to follow so God will be happy with us? Are they just rules given to spoil our fun? No! As we find in this sermon, they are "a father's loving hand to keep us from banging our head on the table." Curious? Listen on!

The 23rd Psalm Part 5
The 23rd Psalm if about life—not the popular notion of death and tragedy. It has been referred to as the ‘John 3:16’ of the Old Testament that promises life in abundance. The three objects in verse 5 represent three subheadings that summarize the theme of this study: table – God sustains me oil – He chose me for a purpose cup – I have more than I ever will need This imagery also foreshadows the emblems of communion that point to Christ’s sacrifice when he took on the form of man and became our servant. If our Shepherd sustains us, it is because he has a purpose for us, and will bless us abundantly!

Serving like Jesus
As followers of Jesus we are called to emulate the life and practice of Jesus. In the Gospel of Mark (10.45) Jesus tells us that he came not to be served but to serve; One of the greatest examples left for us of Jesus' servant heart is found in John 13 when we read that he got down on his knees and washed his disciples feet. If that doesn't turn our understanding of leadership on its head what will? As Jesus' apprentices the question is not if we will serve but where! We are all called to take up the towel and serve. Richard Foster, in his book, Celebration of Disciple, says that if the cross is a sign of submission then the towel is the sign of service. We are all called, says Foster, to the ministry of the towel.

Intimate
Could someone describe us as a person who is intimate with God? Are we known as someone who listens well to God? Just like any relationship, good communication is essential for intimacy to grow. In fact, Jesus shows us that intimacy is how we know if someone loves Him.
