Always Cooking For Jesus

One of my favorite things to do is to eat together with family and friends.  Mike and I make that a priority and we get together with loved ones every week. Sharing a meal face-to-face gives us the opportunity to bond and grow. I love going to Wednesday night suppers at church for the fellowship and opportunity to bond and grow as a church family! Our Cooking For Jesus team works so hard and sometimes long hours! They have servant hearts that cook and clean up for us each week! 

Throughout the Bible, mealtime was important for being together. Some of the Bible’s greatest moments were around mealtime. Sarah hosted the angels and Jesus changed water to wine for a wedding feast. Jesus reclined at the table, often, during His early ministry, while engaging with real people to further His Kingdom work. Acts 2: 46-47, “So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.” 

God wants us to be His hands and feet. Through our service, God can serve us generous helpings of His love and mercy. The table is a great place for your family, your friends, your church family to come together and grow in Christ. Being a servant requires laying down your pride and taking up humility. It demands your time and requires you to be intentional. John 13: 34-35, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” Be sure to thank our Cooking For Jesus team for their hard work while serving us with a smile!
