Bless: Eat with Intention
Speaker: Pastor Aaron Perry
Love isn’t just a feeling—it’s a call to action. Jesus didn’t transform the world with power or position but through relationships, often beginning at a table.
Scripture reminds us:
“Always be eager to practice hospitality.” (Romans 12)
“Above all, love each other deeply… Offer hospitality without grumbling.” (1 Peter 4)
The table is more than a place to eat—it’s a place of transformation. When Jesus sat with Matthew the tax collector, or invited Himself into Zacchaeus’ home, lives were changed. Others may have judged the optics, but Jesus wasn’t concerned with appearances. He chose to love people where they were, and in doing so He opened the door for healing and salvation.
Hospitality does the same for us. Sharing a meal, a coffee, or even a simple walk has the power to break down walls and open hearts. When we open our lives to others, people often let down their guard and experience God’s love in fresh ways.
This week, who could you share your table with? A neighbor, a co-worker, a friend you’ve lost touch with? Love becomes real when it’s practiced.
Let’s not just look good for others—let’s truly love others, the way Jesus did.
