A Meal with Jesus by Tim Chester Pdf

Meals have always been important across societies and cultures, a time for friends and families to come together. An important part of relationships, meals are vital to our social health. Author Tim Chester sums it up: "Food connects." Chester argues that meals are also deeply theological—an important part of Christian fellowship and mission. He observes that the book of Luke is full of stories of Jesus at meals. These accounts lay out biblical principles. Chester notes, "The meals of Jesus represent something bigger." Six chapters in A Meal with Jesus show how they enact grace, community, hope, mission, salvation, and promise. Moving from biblical times to the modern world, Chester applies biblical truth to challenge our contemporary understandings of hospitality. He urges sacrificial giving and loving around the table, helping readers consider how meals can be about serving others and sharing the grace of Christ.

We Will Feast by Kendall Vanderslice Pdf

Explores the practice of eating together as Christian worship The gospel story is filled with meals. It opens in a garden and ends in a feast. Records of the early church suggest that believers met for worship primarily through eating meals. Over time, though, churches have lost focus on the centrality of food— and with it a powerful tool for unifying Christ’s diverse body. But today a new movement is under way, bringing Christians of every denomination, age, race, and sexual orientation together around dinner tables. Men and women nervous about stepping through church doors are finding God in new ways as they eat together. Kendall Vanderslice shares stories of churches worshiping around the table, introducing readers to the rising contem­porary dinner-church movement. We Will Feast provides vision and inspiration to readers longing to experience community in a real, physical way.

Dinner with a Perfect Stranger by David Gregory Pdf

You are Invited to a Dinner with Jesus of Nazareth The mysterious envelope arrives on Nick Cominsky’s desk amid a stack of credit card applications and business-related junk mail. Although his seventy-hour workweek has already eaten into his limited family time, Nick can’t pass up the opportunity to see what kind of plot his colleagues have hatched. The normally confident, cynical Nick soon finds himself thrown off-balance, drawn into an intriguing conversation with a baffling man who appears to be more than comfortable discussing everything from world religions to the existence of heaven and hell. And this man who calls himself Jesus also seems to know a disturbing amount about Nick’s personal life. ………….. "You’re bored, Nick. You were made for more than this. You’re worried about God stealing your fun, but you’ve got it backwards.… There’s no adventure like being joined to the Creator of the universe." He leaned back off the table. "And your first mission would be to let him guide you out of the mess you’re in at work." …………. As the evening progresses, their conversation touches on life, God, meaning, pain, faith, and doubt–and it seems that having Dinner with a Perfect Stranger may change Nick’s life forever.

Jesus and the Last Supper by Brant Pitre Pdf

Who did Jesus of Nazareth claim to be? What was his relationship with early Judaism? When and how did he expect the kingdom to come? What were his intentions? Though these key questions have been addressed in studies of the historical Jesus, Brant Pitre argues that they cannot be fully answered apart from a careful historical analysis of the Last Supper accounts. In this book Pitre offers a rigorous, up-to-date study of the historical Jesus and the Last Supper, filling a significant gap in current Jesus research. Situating the Last Supper in the triple contexts of ancient Judaism, the life of Jesus, and early Christianity, Pitre brings to light crucial insights into major issues driving the quest for Jesus. His Jesus and the Last Supper is sure to ignite discussion and debate.

The Ongoing Feast by Arthur A. Just Pdf

From the perspective of the Emmaus narrative in Luke 24, this study is a literary critical analysis of Jesus' table fellowship as an expression of the eschatological kingdom. The first time Jesus is recognized by faith as the crucified and now risen Messiah occurs at Emmaus through his teaching "on the road" and "in the breaking of the bread". Emmaus is the transition between the meals of Jesus and early Christian meals, setting the pattern of Christian worship as one of word and meal.

When Jesus Isn't Enough by Monica Matthews Pdf

To all those who feel lonely, empty, broken, forgotten, and starving for fulfillment in life...If you're a single woman, you've heard it a thousand times: Jesus should be enough for you. We don't really know why you're still single, but hang in there, girl. Maybe if you just do all the right things, God will bless you. But sometimes (many times, if we're being totally honest) it just doesn't feel like Jesus is enough--even though you know He should be. Why can't you experience a fulfilling relationship with an awesome Christian guy--what's wrong with you? You want to be faithful to your Savior but find yourself longing for more--and feeling guilty about it. All of it leaves you wondering if you're good enough or undeserving of happiness because of mistakes you've made in the past. You really do want Jesus to be enough, but you sometimes wonder if God even cares about you anymore. If that describes you how you feel as a single woman, you are not alone. As a single, Christian mother for 17 years, Monica knows what it's like to long for more. Her candid conversation about her struggle with these realities will encourage any Christian--but especially the single woman who feels as if God has forgotten her. Monica reveals how indulging in her own "buffets" left her famished and longing for food that fulfills--a feast from her Fiancé above. What she learned on her journey and now shares in these compelling pages is that you can enjoy the most satisfying meal for a single women's starving soul by honestly answering the one question you've been afraid to ask: Is Jesus really enough?
