Tables in the Story of God - Week 2

Tables in the Story of God - Week 2

Author: Our Daily Bread Ministries May 10, 2026 Duration: 1:06:02

The Bible is filled with feasts and tables set for God’s people. Discover the significance of these meals and gatherings and why they still matter today.


Receive 

God delights in setting a table for His people. From the last supper Jesus shared with His disciples before His sacrificial death to the meals He shared with His disciples after His glorious resurrection, there are various lovely moments of fellowship between Jesus and His followers recorded for us in Scripture. The early church also knew the importance of breaking bread together. As we consider the meals mentioned in the Old and New Testaments and the greatest wedding banquet that’s still to come mentioned in Revelation, may we rejoice in knowing that God lovingly provides for our every need.

“Dear God, thank You for your love and faithfulness. Thank you for providing for my every need. Help me to trust You even more with every day that passes. Help me to live for You especially as the day of Your great bridal banquet approaches.”

Each week on Discover the Word Podcast, a small group from Our Daily Bread Ministries gathers around the microphone for a conversation that feels more like a thoughtful coffee shop discussion than a formal lecture. The focus is on opening up the Bible together, taking a single passage or theme and turning it over to see all its facets. You’ll hear the hosts-and occasionally a guest-ask honest questions, share personal reflections, and connect ancient texts to the complexities of modern life in culture and society. This isn't about quick answers, but about cultivating a deeper, more practical spirituality through patient exploration. The rhythm of this weekly podcast provides a consistent space to pause and consider how these timeless words speak into our relationships, challenges, and everyday moments. It’s an invitation to move beyond a surface reading and to truly discover the layers of meaning, wisdom, and guidance waiting within Scripture. Join this accessible, conversational Bible study to find fresh perspective and meaningful application for your own journey.
