Do you remember what it feels like to truly belong? Pastor Caleb Thomas continues our "Cribz" series, focusing on the essential truth that God is famous for giving people an invitation to belong. Jesus extends an invitation of acceptance and forgiveness before we clean up our lives.

The message explores the biblical theme of the table, from God's first act of hospitality in the Garden of Eden to the final marriage supper of the Lamb. The biblical rhythm is clear: God provides, humans receive, and relationships form.

You'll see how Jesus consistently sought out the outsiders, the tax collector Levi and the despised Zacchaeus. Jesus proved that belonging produces transformation.

This message challenges us to expand our personal table because God expands His family by expanding your table. God's guest list is radically inclusive. We are commissioned to invite those whom culture overlooks: the poor, the paralyzed, the blind, and the lame, both physically and spiritually.

We must ensure our preferences and biases are not louder than God's guest list. Your "table" is any place or space where someone can feel like they belong to the Kingdom of Heaven, from your job site to a coffee shop, or even the Uber you're riding in. The greatest need in our world isn't better messages, but better tables.

This is a call to be the church every day of the week, helping people feel like they belong even before they believe.
