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
Open Heavens #8 -- Ephesians 2:1-10 -- You have a seat at his table...
You have a seat at the table, in the heavenlies, with Christ. We've all heard that phrase before, "a seat at the table." We're looking for a seat at the table. When it's used in an organization, it's about having a place, having a voice. Usually when we say we want a seat at the table, it's because we feel we deserve a part; we deserve to be heard, to lead. We want a seat at the table. This is not that kind of seat. This is not the kind of seat we earn.
This is more like the seat that would have been empty at Lazarus' house but now is filled because of resurrection. It's a seat like the one Mary sat in while Martha worried and labored over having things in her home just right. Mary sat at Jesus feet to just listen to his words. It's a seat where Jesus says, "Come here, slow down, be still for a bit. Just sit... here with me... I've got a seat for you at my table."
