DIGGING DEEPER
WEEKEND OF MARCH 28 & 29, 2026
SERMON NOTES
Invited to the Table
Celebration of Stories
Did you do it? How’d it go? Text (513) 279-8188
Big Ideas:
Week 1- Hospitality begins with Jesus
Week 2- Grace creates the kind of hospitality that changes hearts.
Week 3- Biblical hospitality intentionally creates space for those who are often left out.
Week 4- Jesus-like hospitality leads to restoration and transformation for those who turn and trust.
The meal is the message.
The win is trying.
Challenge: Take one intentional step this week to open your life to someone else—a meal, coffee, a conversation, or simply making space.
Students: invite someone new to sit with you at lunch.
Keep it simple—share a snack, start a conversation, and notice who might be sitting alone.
DIGGING DEEPER
Read John 20:21
In what ways is Jesus sending you into your everyday spaces (work, neighborhood, school)? Where might you be avoiding that calling right now?
Jesus ate with sinners and let a woman with a messy past anoint His feet.
When was the last time you showed “no-strings-attached” grace to someone who is different from you? What happened?
This Week’s Challenge – Expand Your Table
What is one practical step your family can take this Holy Week to “expand the welcome”?
Kids: Who at school could you invite to sit with you this week?
Adults: Who might you invite for coffee or a meal?
Take a Real Step This Week
Read & Pray over Colossians 4:2–6
Ask God to bring a person to mind.Who is one person you will pray for by name this week?
Family Take-Home Tip
Make the brownies together this week. While they bake, read Luke 19:1-10 (Zacchaeus) and talk about how one invitation from Jesus changed everything. Then pray for the friends who will receive the brownies.
