The Table

We uncover the deeper implications of "do not steal" in our relationships, work, and hearts. Though biblical insights and real-life examples, this sermon challenges us to reject taking what isn't ours, to humbly receive God's gracious gifts, and to share them generously with others.

This week at The Table, we’re looking at the fifth commandment: Honor your father and mother. As young adults, this can feel complicated—especially if our relationships with our parents are strained, painful, or even absent. But this commandment still matters, and it challenges us to think about how we honor authority, embrace wise counsel, love our neighbor starting at home, and reflect God’...

Sabbath is a core spiritual practice - a weekly rhythm designed by God for rest, worship, delight, and renewal. Typically, a 24-hour period, Sabbath is a day set apart for communion with God and joy in His creation. As such, it serves to reorient our lives around God’s presence and helps us to resist the culture of hurry, exhaustion, and performance.

The third commandment instructs us not to take the name of the Lord in vain. That begs the question, how should we take the name of the Lord? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The sermon explores the Second Commandment, "You shall not make for yourself an idol," through biblical and modern examples.   The Second Commandment is an invitation to experience God's everlasting love and grace, encouraging a commitment to worship Him above all else.

The 10 Commandments aren't about God keeping things from us, but God wanting abundant life for us! The first commandment states, "You shall have no other Gods besides me." In this sermon we talk about what it means to have a god. Not only do we want to acknowledge the prohibitive boundary that God sets in each commandment, but also ask what is it inviting us into? In this case, the first commandme...

John is writing to warn the church about the spirit of the antichrist that is trying to lead people astray. His antidote is to believe the truth about God's love for his people, not the lies being told to them. Also, to be a person of truth means to love other believers well. To say you love God, but hate is to become the antichrist; a liar. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more informat...

We live in a day and age where everyone's "best self" is portrayed in the public eye (aka your image). Your character is who you actually are. What you do/how you act/what you think about when no one else is around is your character. Is your character one that is after God's heart? We dive into the life of David and learn about aspects of his character that made him a man after God's own heart. Ho...

This is an attempt to revisit some of the common children's stories from the Bible. In this case the story of Daniel and the lion's den is an invitation to: consider the pain of exile, imagine what it would look like to prosper in exile, and believe in the power of God to deliver us from evil/death. Questions: 1. Have you ever heard this story before? If so, what stood out to you that you either h...

Loving our enemies is not natural. If we are being honest, most of us, like Jonah, deal with intolerance, legalism & self-righteousness towards our enemies instead. What if we truly believed God is for our enemies? He wants to bring them back into a relationship with him just as much as he wants a relationship with us.  Hosted on Acast.

Stories like Moses and the burning bush are stories we once saw as children’s lullabies. For some of us they have become numb, and to others, they are confusing and don't know why they really matter to us. Although, if we sit in the power of the story, it maintains so much significance, teaching us about the power and love of God. The story of Moses and his encounter with God teaches us that God i...

What does it mean to enter the kingdom of heaven like a child? What did the ancient world think about children? Larry talks about the answers to these questions and how that should challenge how we live today. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Prayer is formational and relational. We should think intentionally about how we engage in prayer. Our prayer life should also grow and change with us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

At first glance, boundaries don't seem like a gift, but something being kept from us. What if we realized boundaries were a gift? What if we stopped trying to be children of God on our own terms, and surrendered to Jesus as our giver of life? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The garden (working - tilling & keeping) is a gift and one of the ways order is brought into chaos on the earth. The girl is a gift and a way order comes into chaos, helping us understand how "not good" it is to be alone and the strength and beauty of complementarity. Hosted on Acast.

How should we think about the beginning? The beginning teaches us about who God is and who God created us to be. It teaches us our posture as image bearers of God. It's important we think about the beginning well, because it affects how we read the rest of scripture and how we live. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What Jesus knew was a victory, Peter saw as a defeat. Jesus gave Peter great responsibility, but he thought he knew better than God and quickly became a stumbling block instead of a source of stability. When we, as humans, think we know better than God, we must be quick to confess. Sometimes victory doesn't look like what we'd imagine. Therefore, we aren't called to control how we think things sho...
