Description
Jesus used food and mealtimes to build (or destroy) community and to teach about the Father, Son and Kingdom. Some of these events include the wedding at Cana, the calls to Levi and to Zaccheus, the banquet parables, eating with Pharisees and with persons of ill repute, and the miraculous feedings with fish and bread.
At Table with Jesus deals with the concepts of miracle meals, eucharist, hospitality, etiquette, clean and unclean, and others. This 8-session study will help participants see how the simple act of eating became a crucial element in Jesus' ministry, and they will learn to appreciate the eucharistic quality of daily life and the practice of hospitality.
