On the road to Emmaus, two discouraged disciples walked beside Jesus without recognizing Him. In this sermon, we explore why our categories can blind us to Christ’s presence, how Scripture sets our hearts on fire, and how our eyes finally open at the table of grace. Join us as we discover the Jesus who walks with us long before we realize He’s there.
