good food + studying Scripture = a truly great feast
Last Friday 6 Wash U students gathered in my living room - 5 freshmen and 1 sophomore. I had invited them to share an evening of food and Scripture. Looking around the room I realized that only a couple of them had ever met each other before. I realized that they each met me at some point in the past couple of months. It was fun to realize that God had gathered a group of people who might not otherwise be in the same room together.
As of 10 PM on Thursday evening, the night prior to this gathering event that I dubbed The Feast, only 2 students had committed to attending. I woke up on Friday morning to text messages with confirmations of 3 more and another text message late Friday afternoon rounded out the 6 who said "yes".
We studied the parable of the great banquet in Luke 14. We marveled at a God who is always inviting new people to his party. We talked about it hosting another dinner and Scripture study on campus in a couple of weeks. What would it be like to invite as many people as we can? What would it be like to be generous with our invitations?
It was an encouraging night.
