01 - A Seat at the Table

Opening Questions:
Before viewing the session, here are a few important things to look for in Bianca Juárez Olthoff’s teaching. As you watch, pay attention to the following questions.
What is the proverbial question Bianca has been asking all her life?
Whom does God welcome to his table?
Deeper Walk:
Memorize: To remember Jesus’s primary message communicated in the parable, memorize Luke 14:11. “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Host: Create a guest list of people who would not consider themselves in your closest circle of friends. Send the invitations. Using the recipe from this session, create a meal, and welcome new people into your world.
Serve: Seek local opportunities to serve those in need around you in a meal-centered setting. Perhaps you could volunteer at a soup kitchen, or deliver meals to the home-bound, or visit care facilities for the elderly. Or consider bringing a meal to a friend or neighbor who needs short-term help.
Pray: Ask God to reveal any tendency toward pride in your heart and to empower you to humble yourself more and more.
