The Bigger Table

Breaking the Bread of Barriers

Tables are meant for connection, but we often use them to draw lines. This week focuses on crossing cultural, socioeconomic, or ideological divides to offer genuine community. In Galatians, Paul confronts Peter for withdrawing from eating with the Gentiles when the conservative Jewish faction arrived. Peter fell back into tribalism. This week examines how the Gospel tears down social barriers and demands that we sit and eat with people “different” from us.
