Invitation to the Table

The End Is Just the Beginning

Scripture: Revelation 19:6-9

Pastor Ben Price Jr.

What if the invitation to the table isn’t the end of the story—but the beginning?

In this final message of the Invitation to the Table sermon series, Pastor Ben Price Jr. looks at Revelation 19:6–9 and the powerful picture of the wedding supper of the Lamb. Scripture points us toward a day of celebration when God’s people will gather at the table with Christ.

But the invitation to the table is about more than simply reaching the destination. It reminds us that saying “yes” to Jesus is the beginning of a transformed life—a life of following Him, growing in faith, and inviting others to experience His grace.

As this sermon series comes to a close, the invitation continues: Come to the table. Follow Jesus. And invite someone else.

Milly challenges us to look beyond our own surroundings and recognize that God is at work around the world—and that every one of us has a part to play through going, giving, praying, and serving.

Invitation to the Table | When Resistance Comes

What should we do when following Jesus brings resistance, opposition, or uncertainty? In this message from the Invitation to the Table series, Pastor Ben Price looks at the early church in Acts 4 and how believers responded when they faced opposition. Instead of retreating in fear, they gathered, prayed boldly, and trusted God to continue His work. Their example reminds us that resistance doesn't have to stop the mission—it can become an opportunity to depend more deeply on God.

Invitation to the Table | Worth the Risk

What happens when we are willing to cross boundaries and take the risk of reaching someone others might overlook? In this message from the Invitation to the Table series, Pastor Ben Price explores Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well. Jesus intentionally entered a difficult conversation, saw beyond her circumstances, and offered her living water and a new beginning. Her encounter with Jesus transformed her life and led her to share what she had experienced with others.

This message challenges us to recognize that people are worth the risk—and that sometimes the greatest opportunities to share Jesus are found in the unexpected people and places around us.

Life in the Vine | Gentleness

Dr. Rev. Ben Lee

What does biblical gentleness really look like? In this message from the Life in the Vine series, Dr. Rev. Ben Lee explores one of the often-overlooked fruits of the Spirit—gentleness. Far from being a sign of weakness, biblical gentleness reflects the strength, humility, and self-control of Christ. As we walk by the Spirit, God shapes our hearts to respond with grace, truth, and compassion in every relationship.

Discover how the Holy Spirit transforms our attitudes and actions, enabling us to reflect the character of Jesus in a world that often values power over humility.
