Meals with Jesus - Week 13

Little Man, Big ChangeLuke 19:1-10Teacher: Blaine Dennison, Congregational Care Pastor at Oak Pointe ChurchA study performed in 2021 by the Pew Research Center revealed that 41% of Americans have experienced some form of harassment online, with 75% of those saying the abuse took place on social media. It’s clear that communication between humans has been impacted significantly by the internet, and not always in the best way. Online interactions don’t allow human connection because the person at the other end of the sentence is just a screen. When humanity is reduced to an object, then anything goes.During His earthly ministry, Jesus looked into eyes, touched with His hand, held with His arms, and spoke with His voice. Today He speaks into our hearts through His word, and now we are His hands and feet that deliver His message to others. The Word of Life breaks barriers and defenses and invites outsiders to come in and sit at His table.
