How Jesus Did Ministry | Week 1

February 2, 2025

Series: At the Table

Book: Luke

Campus: Riverview

Scripture: Luke 7:34-35

This sermon by Pastor Steve kicks off a seven-week series exploring Jesus’ approach to meals in Luke. Pastor Steve highlights how Jesus often connected with people through food, calling himself “the son of man” who came “eating and drinking” with tax collectors and sinners.
The core message: Jesus used meals to unite different people, sustain them physically and spiritually, and empower ordinary folks to participate in God’s kingdom work. Pastor Steve challenges us to rethink their rushed 12-minute meals (compared to 90 minutes in the 1960s) and use their upcoming 20 weekly meals as opportunities for connection and ministry.
