Come to the Table | an invitation to the feasts Jesus celebrated

A journey of worship and celebration

We need our eyes on Jesus. Easier said than done, sometimes. Especially when the season we found ourselves in, is difficult and chaotic. When peace eludes us, we need to train ourselves to see Him, especially where it is not obvious. Because He is here. He is in the middle of every detail we are going through. We just forget. He is closer than we realize - literally sitting across the table from you. So, we invite you to join us as we train ourselves to see Him across the feast table. You are invited to come to the table of God's goodness and presence. He has set the table. Now, come.

There is something profound in seeking Jesus in the routine of daily life, and also in the unusual moments of our years. To find him through our feasts and our fasts – our joys and our sadnesses, our happiness and our grief. What would happen if we wove together the feasts Jesus celebrated, with the ones we celebrate because we are His? What would the table look like? What would the foods taste like, and the conversations be like? Such an approach of the Jewish, and the Christian feasts promises to kindle fresh faith and renewed passion for our King.

Stephanie invites us into Jesus' interactions with his people through feasts, fasts, and daily life, focusing on 17 special days in the Jewish and Christian liturgical calendars. Understanding the significance of feasts is not just an individual pursuit, but an opportunity to grow together as a community of believers. Scripture, alongside the communal aspect of faith, urge us to explore ancient Jewish and Christian celebrations together as the body of Christ.

By understanding and experiencing the feasts in both traditions and how they point to the work of the Messiah, we are invited to deepen our worship and grow in likeness to Jesus, the King of Kings. As we come to the table of God’s goodness and presence through the series, may we embrace these feasts as a fresh way to connect with our Savior, to fall in love and worship of Him ever deeper.

What to expect | Through the series, Stephanie reminds us to invite Jesus into the everyday moments, and the special moments. She invites us to experience the feasts that Jesus experienced, and the ones His life and work have inaugurated for us. Through an original approach of weaving together the key Jewish and Christian feast days into a seamless narrative, she also hopes to provide an overview of how some of them were fulfilled by the death and resurrection of Jesus, and then the birth of the church in the first coming of Jesus. The remaining feasts are yet to be fulfilled in the second coming of Jesus. This broad perspective allows us to see the feasts as part of a larger narrative under the sovereignty of God, pointing to the continuing, redemptive work of Christ. The Jewish and Christian liturgical calendars remind us to keep our focus on eternal things as we await the fulfillment of the remaining feasts. In this context, our faith can grow and our eyes can remain fixed on Him. Chaos flees. Peace returns.
