Acts 11:1-18 | Rev. Dr. R. Brandon Harris | When everyone is invited to the table, it means that there is always the possibility of conflict, misunderstandings, and heart- wrenching disappointments. In fact, it is guaranteed. But that doesn’t mean we should avoid the table. It means we should embrace the table in all of its messiness. It’s in dealing with the messiness in truth and love that we experience God’s grace in all of its fullness.
