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.

Invitation to the Table
Taking the Next Step
Scripture: Luke 19:1-10
Pastor Ben Price Jr.
What does it look like to move from simply hearing about Jesus to taking the next step in following Him? In this message from the Invitation to the Table series, Pastor Ben Price Jr. challenges us to respond to Jesus' invitation with intentional action. Faith isn't meant to remain on the sidelines—it calls us to take the next step, grow deeper in our relationship with Christ, and live out our faith in everyday life.
Key Points to Remember:
Jesus is inviting you to take the next step. Following Christ is an ongoing journey of growth, obedience, and trust.

Don't stay where you are. Spiritual growth requires a willingness to respond to God and move forward in faith.

Your next step can impact someone else. As we grow in Christ and live out our faith, our lives can become an invitation for others to encounter Jesus.

Invitation to the Table
Winning the Food Fight
Scripture: Luke 7:34, Romans 12:13 and Revelation 3:20
What if the people we eat with can shape the conversations we have, the relationships we build, and the opportunities we have to share Jesus? In this message from the Invitation to the Table series, Rev. Dr. Ben Lee explores the importance of being intentional about who we share our tables with. From work and school to home and everyday life, ordinary meals can become meaningful opportunities to build relationships, listen, connect, and live out our faith.
Key Points to Remember:
Be intentional about your table. Pay attention to who you eat with and look for opportunities to build meaningful relationships.

Use everyday moments for God's purposes. Lunch, meals, and ordinary conversations can become opportunities to connect with people and share your faith.

Think beyond the meal. The goal isn't simply who sits at the table, but how our relationships can help create opportunities to point others toward Jesus.

August 16, 2026When Resistance Comes
Sunday, August 16, 2026
Invitation to the Table | When Resistance Comes
Pastor Ben Price
Scripture: Acts 4: 23-31
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.
Three Key Points to Remember:
Resistance is not a reason to retreat. Opposition may come when we faithfully follow Jesus, but it doesn't mean God's mission has stopped.

Prayer changes how we face opposition. The early believers responded to resistance by coming together and seeking God rather than relying on their own strength.

Ask for boldness, not comfort. God empowers His people to keep sharing the gospel and living faithfully, even when circumstances are difficult.

Invitation to the Table | Worth the Risk
Pastor Ben Price
Scripture: John 4:3-9, 16-18, 28-30 & 35
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.
Three Key Points to Remember:
People are worth the risk. Following Jesus means being willing to cross barriers and reach people others may overlook.

Jesus sees the person behind the circumstances. He meets us with truth and grace, offering transformation rather than condemnation.

One encounter can impact many. The Samaritan woman shared what Jesus had done, and her testimony helped others come and see Jesus for themselves.

Sunday, August 2, 2026
Invitation to the Table | Eyes That See
Pastor Ben Price
Series: Invitation to the Table
Scripture: Luke 5:27–32
What do you see when you look at the people around you? In the opening message of the Invitation to the Table series, Pastor Ben Price explores Jesus' encounter with Levi and His invitation to sinners, outcasts, and the overlooked. Jesus didn't see people for who they were—He saw who they could become through His grace. This message challenges us to see others through the eyes of Christ and extend the same invitation to experience forgiveness, belonging, and new life.
Whether you're seeking a fresh perspective on evangelism or a reminder of God's heart for people, this message will encourage you to look beyond appearances and make room at the table for everyone Jesus is calling.
Three Key Points to Remember:
Jesus sees beyond our past. His invitation is based on grace, not our performance or reputation.

Following Jesus changes our perspective. As disciples, we're called to see people as Christ sees them—with compassion, hope, and purpose.

The table is for everyone. Jesus invites the broken, the searching, and the overlooked into a life-changing relationship with Him, and He calls us to extend that same invitation.

Life in the Vine | Evidence of Abiding
Pastor Ben Price
Scripture: Galatians 5: 19-26
What is the clearest evidence that you're truly abiding in Christ? In this concluding message of the Life in the Vine series, Pastor Ben Price contrasts the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit found in Galatians 5:19–26. As believers remain connected to Jesus, their lives begin to reflect His character through the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. Discover how abiding in Christ produces lasting spiritual fruit that points others to Him and demonstrates authentic Christian faith.
Whether you're seeking deeper spiritual growth or learning what it means to live a Spirit-led life, this message offers practical, biblical encouragement to stay rooted in Christ every day.
Three Key Points to Remember:
Abiding in Christ produces visible evidence. A Spirit-filled life is recognized by growing Christlike character rather than outward performance.

The Holy Spirit transforms us from the inside out. As we surrender to God, the desires of the flesh lose their control, and spiritual fruit becomes increasingly evident.

Our lives should reflect the Vine. The evidence of abiding is seen in everyday attitudes, choices, relationships, and actions that glorify Jesus.

Life in the Vine | Gentleness
Dr. Rev. Ben Lee
Scripture: Galatians 5: 19-26
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.
Three Key Points to Remember:
Gentleness is strength under the control of the Holy Spirit. It reflects Christ's character, not personal weakness.

Walking by the Spirit changes how we treat others. Our words, attitudes, and actions become marked by grace, humility, and compassion.

The fruit of the Spirit grows as we abide in Christ. Lasting transformation comes from remaining connected to Jesus, not through self-effort.
