Peace at Table


"When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him." Luke 24:30  


Scripture Focus: Luke 24:13-35


Many families today have exchanged meal time together for participating in sports, or being absorbed in screen time, or conducting business. The connectedness that families enjoy around the meal table is being outmoded. Listening  to each other, giving eye contact, and cultivating relationships around the dinner table are slipping away. Yet sharing mealtime together seemed quite important to Jesus. 


Imagine being at the table with Him and the  two friends after their walk to Emmaus. Though the disciples hadn't recognized the resurrected Jesus, they listened to Him. Though their hopes had been dashed, they felt something remarkable about Him. 


In the moments together at the meal table, Jesus offered thanks,  broke the bread, and passed it out. When He did so, the friends suddenly recognized Him. He was alive! It was at the table that they came to know Him. 


Enjoy a meal with others whenever you are able. And be reminded of the privilege we have of knowing Jesus bids us to come and dine with Him.  


Insight: "If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me." (Revelation 3:20b)




It is our hopes and prayers that these devotions will bring people to Jesus as Savior and have a deeper meaningful relationship with the Lord.

+DEV+ A New Heart

  Jun 6, 2022 at 12:55 AM CST Topic: +DEV+     A New Heart A New Heart "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." Ezekiel 36:26     Scripture Focus: Ezekiel 36:22-38 When I first met Stanley, he was in his mid-50s and had spent more years behind bars than free. He had a very difficult time realizing he could be forgiven for committing yet another crime. However, God was working on his heart through prayer, Scripture, and books like Forgive and Forget. This book includes these powerful words: "To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you" (Lewis Smedes, 1984).     Gradually, Stanley did find forgiveness through Jesus. He also discovered that God was transforming his heart and placing a new spirit within him. God removed Stanleys’ stone heart and replaced it with a "heart of flesh." Soon Ezekiel 36:26 became Stanleys' favorite verse in...

LORD OF ALL

  LORD OF ALL By Jonathan Cahn Isaiah 46:9-13 & John 16:33 (Message - Him) This letter is framed by the fact that I’m needing to write it beforehand in midsummer.     So I’m writing it before the autumn.     I believe this September and autumn will be a most critical time.     I believe America is in great trouble and now standing at a precipice - which can lead to repentance, departure, the sealing of judgment, and calamity.     And it can include both shakings and calamities that lead many to return to God.     But no matter what happens or not in the spiritual realm or the physical realm - some things will be true and most importantly in the autumn.     The world changes - but God remains the same.     Everything in this world is temporary.     Everything changes.     People come and go, live and die.     Parties come to power and are driven from power.     Kingdoms ...

Ordained Minister looking to find a small rural church near Rolla Missouri to serve as its pastor

 "WHAT I BELIEVE" I believe tat Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died vicariously on a roman cross, arose from the dead on the third day, many saw him for 45 days and then ascended into heaven with the promise to send the Holy Spirit to help and guide us and that he would return in the same manner. He commissioned his disciples (us) to proclaim the Gospel (good news) to all. I believe in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues, as a separate and distinct ministry of the third person in the Holy Trinity. After some 25 years of study in end times events, I believe Jesus is about to return as the prophecies are becoming headline news today. All key points are now in place for the Antichrist to take the stage of the World. However I also believe the antichrist is held back by Christians, which will soon be removed (raptured) at which time he will step in and supposedly cure all our problems and every one left will ohh and ahh about...
