Luke 19:1-10

Listen to Luke 19:1-10
1 Then Jesus entered and walked through Jericho.
2 There was a man there, his name Zacchaeus, the head tax man and quite rich.
3 He wanted desperately to see Jesus, but the crowd was in his way - he was a short man and couldn't see over the crowd.
4 So he ran on ahead and climbed up in a sycamore tree so he could see Jesus when he came by.
5 When Jesus got to the tree, he looked up and said, "Zacchaeus, hurry down. Today is my day to be a guest in your home."
6 Zacchaeus scrambled out of the tree, hardly believing his good luck, delighted to take Jesus home with him.
7 Everyone who saw the incident was indignant and grumped, "What business does he have getting cozy with this crook?"
8 Zacchaeus just stood there, a little stunned. He stammered apologetically, "Master, I give away half my income to the poor - and if I'm caught cheating, I pay four times the damages."
9 Jesus said, "Today is salvation day in this home! Here he is: Zacchaeus, son of Abraham!
10 For the Son of Man came to find and restore the lost."

Table Ministry
Table Ministry
Bob Russell, Mike Breaux, Rick Atchley, Ben Cachiaras, Aaron Brockett, and Gene Appel

In this message, Ben Cachiaras, Lead Pastor of Mountain Christian Church in Joppa, Maryland, explores how something as simple as sharing a meal can become a powerful opportunity for ministry and authentic connection.Throughout the Gospels, Jesus used the table to welcome people, especially those who felt forgotten, rejected, or far from God. From dining with tax collectors and sinners to describing the Kingdom of God as a great banquet feast, Jesus showed that everyone has a place at His table.This message encourages us to be intentional with our meals, inviting others in and creating space for meaningful relationships. Listen in to hear how every table can become a place of ministry, and every meal can become a mission.
