About this episode

Pastor Trey Etter discusses how Jesus’ dinner invitation to Levi illustrates the power of eating together in relational ministry.

This past Sunday, Pastor Trey Etter shared how Jesus’ dinner invitation to Levi in Luke 5:27–32 turns the ordinary table into a powerful tool for relational ministry. By intentionally focusing on the E in our BLESS series— Eating together —we see Jesus model a radical hospitality that avoids demanding people clean up before they can belong, or accepting them with no expectation of heart transformation. Instead, Jesus extends an immediate welcome and a call to repentance simultaneously. As sent ambassadors, we have the opportunity to turn ordinary meals into meaningful moments of ministry and connection
