What Do You Have?
David Morelli
In the church we throw the word faith around a lot, and we should because faith is
central to a life with God. But what happens when the broken parts of our lives and the
circumstances we find ourselves in threaten our faith? What do we do? It begins with
asking: what do I have?

Open Eyes, Burning Hearts
David Morelli
In a fast paced, connected culture it can be easy to miss God’s presence in our lives. If
we don’t slow down and create the conditions to help us see, we may just miss the God
who is with us.

The Last Supper
Steve Brown, President Columbia Bible College
Some meals are unforgettable. The disciples would never forget this last supper with Jesus—not just because of what he said, but because of what he did. In John 13:1–17, we see Jesus living out his message and inviting us to lean into community, to serve, and to receive.

Kingdom Hospitality: The Upside-Down Table of Jesus
Wes Braun

True Kingdom hospitality isn’t about status, comfort, or reciprocity—it’s about making space for the hurting, the rejected, and the forgotten, just as Christ has done for any who believe. When we welcome the vulnerable, we are encountering the saviour of the world who brings healing to our hearts.

God Wants To Have Dinner With You
Payton Koop
God wants to have dinner with you. That idea might seem strange because we can’t actually see God but for some reason “The table” or a meal is the common descriptor for a meeting place with God. It represents setting aside time to be present with the Father and turns out its essential to being a follower of Jesus, yet it seems to be the first thing we set aside in the busyness of life.
