Come to the table with Jesus. Let’s join Jesus as he sits down to eat – with strangers and friends, followers and enemies, the few and the many. Jesus teaches in these moments and points us toward communion with God and one another.

At each one of these Table moments, Jesus reaches out, connects to people, and teaches. Jesus connects to surprising people--people who may not matter to their society but who clearly matter to Jesus! Some are too poor and some are too wealthy. Some have chosen the wrong side in the politics of the day. Some are women, and some are even women who are too loud, too demonstrative, or too scandalous for those around them--but not for Jesus. Come and see how Jesus loves people through these Table scenes.

Come consider what I have to do to truly live in Jesus' way. How can I learn to live the radical messages that Jesus teaches at the Table?

FAQ

  • What is the video course?

    This is a twelve-lesson course on the web-based platform, Thinkific. Each lesson has a set of Scripture readings and preparation questions (optional), a video of me teaching the lesson, and a set of discussion questions for the group to use in class after the video.

  • Who is this for?

    This course is for individuals, small group Bible studies, Sunday school classes, Women's ministry groups, or anyone who wants to get into the Scripture. You can take this class on your own, or any facilitator can use it to have a fresh, in-depth Bible study with your own group. This price is for an individual license. If you use it for a group, each member should purchase the course.

  • What about inviting guests? You said everyone should buy the course.

    The definition of "everyone" is on the honor system. Please have all your group members buy a copy, but please also invite your friends! Let's say you're watching the videos in class and someone new is willing to start coming to Bible study. The last thing I'd want is to stop them, or ask them to pay before they are committed to study with the group! Just invite and later, if they want to invest, that's good. If not, we still welcome them to participate!

  • How much Bible knowledge is needed?

    Just a little! Or none at all--Come as you are. The course is structured much like a Sunday School class in that it assumes you know some Bible basics--I refer to the New Testament, the Old Testament (the Hebrew Scriptures), the books of the Bible, the prophets and common Old Testament passages, etc. If someone were totally unfamiliar with the Bible, they would benefit from some orientation! Try selecting one or two mentors to begin showing them how the Bible is structured. Still, anyone, even someone totally unfamiliar with Scripture, will be able to understand these stories and will recognize the remarkable presence of Jesus. You don't need any previous knowledge to be amazed at how Jesus treats people and to be compelled by his invitation.

  • What if some people do the homework and some don't?

    It will work fine! That's why these are "Preparation Questions" rather than "homework." One challenge of group Bible studies is that some people do more advance preparation than others. I specifically designed these classes so that a person at any level of preparation can follow the lesson and participate. If you do the reading and consider the preparation questions, you will enrich your experience of Scripture, get practice in making the kinds of connections that produce an in-depth Bible study, and prepare yourself for the richest class experience. If you don't, it's totally fine. You will not be lost (and you will not be a second-class participant). You can still have a great class experience, learn, and participate.

  • Why make the preparation optional? Shouldn't people be reading the Bible?

    We respect that people have different levels of time, energy, and opportunity to prepare, and we want everyone to be able to come to Bible study. A busy week doesn't mean you can't come be refreshed by studying Scripture and discussing it with each other. And this way, a visiting guest won't be left out. Sure, you will get more out of anything in which you spend more time in reflection on the Word and it's application to your life. So if you're able, give those preparation questions a try! And if not, we'll still see you in Bible study! :)

  • How hard is it to be a facilitator?

    It's easy! It requires no Bible knowledge--you don't need to have the answers, and I've already provided the questions. You need someone who is able to share the handouts, log in to the course platform, and start the videos. After the video, one person can start the discussion for the whole group, or the class can break up into groups of 4-5 and conduct the discussions themselves. Our course has a handy facilitator guide to get you started!

  • Is this only for women?

    Many churches will be interested in this content for their women's Bible studies--I know my women's Bible study is always looking for our next study! But it's up to you: there is nothing in the material that is geared specifically toward women. It's geared toward people who want to know Jesus!
