Food & Fellowship

What does it look like to put keeping faith with Jesus at the center of food & fellowship?

• Accepting one another across social and cultural boundaries just as Christ accepted you (Rm. 14.3-4; 15.7-9). 
• Extending grace to one another, as Jesus is gracious with all us (14.13-15).
• God’s new covenant people are characterized not by their diet, but by bearing with one another out of fealty to Jesus (14.13-18). 
• This is serving Christ! (14.18). 
• Responding with gratitude & joy to what God has done for us and in our midst (Lk. 15).

Putting Jesus at the center of food & Fellowship looks like joyfully prioritizing his family over our personal preferences & freedoms. 

Discussion Questions

1. What are the cultural boundaries that divide fellowship in our society today? How does welcoming believers across those lines testify to the Lordship of Jesus?
2. We celebrate what we value. How might we incorporate the regular celebration of God’s work into our daily lives?
