Today, we begin a five-week series in Luke 14, centered on the story traditionally known as The Great Banquet. It’s a chapter filled with meals, invitations, unexpected guests, uncomfortable questions, and the surprising grace of Jesus.

As we move through it, we’ll consider not only what Jesus teaches about community, but how we might live into that kind of community together: celebrating what we’ve been given, being changed by his grace, and making room for others.
