On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to prepare the Passover meal for you?” “As you go into the city,” he told them, “you will see a certain man. Tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My time has come, and I will eat the Passover meal with my disciples at your house.’” So the disciples did as Jesus told them and prepared the Passover meal there. When it was evening, Jesus sat down at the table with the Twelve. While they were eating, he said, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me.” Greatly distressed, each one asked in turn, “Am I the one, Lord?” He replied, “One of you who has just eaten from this bowl with me will betray me. For the Son of Man must die, as the Scriptures declared long ago. But how terrible it will be for the one who betrays him. It would be far better for that man if he had never been born!” Judas, the one who would betray him, also asked, “Rabbi, am I the one?” And Jesus told him, “You have said it.”

Worship is central to the Christian life. Here is a reflection on what it means to hold fast to faith in the midst of life’s trials...a message that inspires Christians to connect the dots between singing the song and living the life. Based on Matt Redman's new book 10,000 Reasons.
Bread is an important part of daily life for most people around the world. Whether bought from a store, made at home, or given by a friend, it is known as the staff of life. Breaking bread has long been part of Christian worship, but bread is more than just a handy metaphor in Scripture. It’s the tool used to prove God’s provision for, redemption of, and communion with humanity.
Have you ever felt like quitting on the church? So has Natalie Runion, worship leader, songwriter, and teacher. But as Natalie reminds us in this week’s devotional, it’s possible to question behaviors and beliefs we have seen in the church, in religious organizations, and in Christians without quitting Jesus or divorcing the family of God. Jesus is right there with us, in the midst of our wandering and our wondering.
Are you in need of goodness in your life? So am I! I am a recovering Eeyore, but the more I taste God’s goodness, the harder it becomes to hang on to my crusty outlook. Instead, I’ve found myself delighted to be invited to God’s table in the wilderness, where His goodness overflows. This week, we will feast on God’s goodness in light of our needs and longings.
