In Hebrews 4, we hear that the Word of God analyzes us and leaves us naked at God's feet. This reminds me of Adam and Eve in Eden, who found out they were naked and hid. But the good news is that we have a high priest in Christ Jesus who knows us and meets us where we are. 

At the Last Supper, we see Jesus changing the liturgy of Passover. 
At Passover, the 4 cups represent the four promises of Jesus in Exodus 6:6-7. Today, we see that through His suffering and death we see the fulfillment of the  4th cup 

In Numbers 13 we hear how perspective matters. We may need to shift our perspective and believe that God is bigger than whatever we may face. 

In Luke 6:37-42 we hear the call to take the log out of our eye and use it to build a table for all to come and grow in relationship with Christ and one another  

In Luke 15:11-32 we hear the parable of a man and his two sons. We hear of God's unwavering grace, telling all that they belong and are welcomed in the House of the Lord. Welcome Home  

In Matthew 18:21-35 we hear the parable of The Unmerciful Servant. This parable asks how we will live in the light of God's grace. Will we extend the same grace and forgiveness that we have received, or will we hold onto our hurt vengeance and grudges 

In Matthew 13:1-9, we hear about the Parable of the Sower. This points us to an eternal truth of God's grace and love. That truth is that it is free to all, and that God desires all to encounter it and bear good fruit.  

In Luke 12:13-21 we hear the parable of The Rich Fool. This raises the question, do we love people and use things or love things and use people. It also looks at how we value money and stuff over time  

In Matthew 25:14-30 we hear the parable of the talents. This parable is much more than a stewardship sermon but is a parable that ask the question will you live in fear or faith?  

In Luke 14 we hear Jesus share the parable of The Great Banquet, this is a depiction of how ALL are invited to the Table, but few accept the invitation
