Description

The Gospels are filled with accounts of Jesus sharing meals with a wide range of people, including his disciples, close friends, tax collectors, and Pharisees. Whether he is multiplying bread to feed a large crowd, enjoying a meal with those closest to him, or using stories to teach influential leaders about even greater feasts, Jesus not only offers wisdom but also extends grace and forgiveness through the sharing of food.

This eight-chapter resource explores these biblical insights while prompting reflection on relevant questions for today, such as who we welcome at our own tables and who in our society is overlooked or excluded. Each chapter features illustrations by artist Kevin Burns, inviting deeper contemplation of the Gospel stories and their meaning in our daily lives.

Additionally, the book includes discussion questions for small groups or personal study. A special guide for church leaders provides suggestions for preaching this content as a sermon series and incorporating food-related outreach and acts of hospitality within the community.
