Pull Up a Chair

August 10, 2025

 Jesus doesn’t just make room at the table — He invites with radical love and purpose. Whether you feel like you’re on the outside looking in or already part of the crowd, His invitation is personal and powerful: Come, belong, be filled. In a world that draws lines and closes doors, Jesus opens wide the table and says, “There’s a seat here for you.”     

This Sunday is also Move Up Sunday, when our youth officially step into the grade or classroom they’re moving into. It’s a special moment to remind them — and all of us — that no matter where we are on the journey, we’re invited to grow, belong, and take our place at the table.
