Guests of Honor

Series: Stories From the Table

Guests of Honor

February 20, 2022 | Rev. Dr. Chris J. Hayes

Passage: Luke 14:1-14

We often forget Christ’s call for us to be humble and instead fall into the worldly trap of striving for honor and prestige. The story in Luke 14 reminds us all that real honor comes from humbling ourselves and allowing others to see God’s light and love within us. How might we always seek to lift others up and seek to place ourselves as servants of all? This week's scripture is Luke 14:1-14.

Series Information

There is no better way for us to learn about the amazing presence of God’s love and how we can learn from that love than by looking at the example of Jesus Christ. Jesus was the perfect example of how God loves us and how we are supposed to live as faithful disciples. Looking at the stories of Jesus around the table while he lived here among us gives us insights, learnings, and hope about how we too can be more inviting around the tables in life.
