Dinner Tonight?
Dinner Tonight?
While Jesus was having dinner at Levi's house, many tax collectors and "sinners" were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.
Mark 2 v 15
Here is a quick and simple challenge for this week. Eat a meal with your friends.
There is something about actually taking time to sit around and eat together that seems to strengthen relationships. It gives you the chance to share stories and experiences without too many other distractions.
Invite a mixture of friends who are Christians and not yet Christians so they have a chance to interact with each other. Lots of my friends who have come to faith recently have found Jesus not through a message at a big event or a powerful worship session, but instead they got to know Jesus by just spending time with other people who love him.
Jesus knew the power of sitting down for a meal with people, especially those whom others didn’t want to eat with. We should follow his example.
Change your friends by growing your relationship with them.
