More Than Bread
It's not enough to get into God's Word, we need to let His Word get into us. "More Than Bread" is a podcast featuring Pastor Dan Nold from Calvary Church in State College, PA. It focuses on simply reading the Bible (with a few comments) in the hopes that listening to God's Word, learning from God's Word and leaning into God's Word will shape our hearts, minds, and souls to bring us life. As Jesus said, "We do not live by bread alone, we live by every Word that comes from the mouth of God."
More Than Bread
Christmas Prep #14 -- Luke 14 -- No empty seats at His table!
In this episode I'm going to ask you, to ask yourself, two questions. First, do I live like I'm invited. Second, do I live like there's still room at His table?
In Luke 14, Jesus describes a great banquet and you might say that Jesus is really talking about Christmas. In Jesus day, the idea of a banquet or a feast was often used as a metaphor for the coming of God's kingdom. The banquet was about the restoration of all things and the birth of a new community, a new movement of life. To eat at God's banquet was to receive fullness of life and joy. Who's invited to this party? It's an open invitation. Do you understand that? I don't care who you are, what you've done or what's been done to you. You have been chosen. You are invited to the world's greatest celebration with the world's greatest banquet, by the world's greatest host.
So ask yourself those two questions...because God is determined that there will be no empty seats at His table!
