Travel with Jesus on the road to Jerusalem in this profound six week Lenten study that explores the parables and stories Jesus told at tables along the way to his final meal.
Will Willimon invites readers to experience how these table stories, about searching shepherds, welcoming hosts, prodigal sons, and rejected invitations, illuminate the deeper meaning of the Last Supper and Christ’s sacrifice.
Through engaging biblical exploration and Willimon’s characteristic storytelling wisdom, readers will discover how Jesus used meals to reveal the surprising nature of God’s kingdom. They will explore how stories of mercy, invitation, and radical hospitality prepare us for Holy Week, understand why sharing bread and wine became the central ritual of Christian faith, and experience Maundy Thursday’s profound significance in fresh, meaningful ways.
Each chapter concludes with thought provoking questions for personal reflection or group discussion that connect these ancient stories to contemporary Christian life.
This Lenten season, gather at the table with Jesus and his disciples to experience the journey from Palm Sunday to the cross through the stories that prepared the way. Willimon’s accessible yet profound insights will transform how you understand both the Last Supper and your own place at Christ’s table.

1 The spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me; he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to the prisoners; 2 to proclaim the year of the Lord 's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;
There are certain things that occur to us one we have a live encounter with the Holy Spirit upon us. We are then moved to a spiritual place where we become clear about God’s call and purpose for our lives, specific to all God is calling us to do. And yet, it goes beyond recognition of the call. The Holy Spirit becomes a powerful motivational force in our lives partnering with us to accomplish God’s will and purpose. The Holy Spirit not only calls and motivates us. It is God’s Holy Spirit that empowers us to accomplish that purpose and truly gives us energy to fill our dried and dead bones with life.
Today’s Prayer
Holy Spirit, enable and motivate me through Your presence inside of me to clearly hear and respond to Your call upon my life.

28 “And afterward,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your old men will dream dreams,
your young men will see visions.
29 Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
There is something that happens to us when we have experienced the presence of God’s Spirit in and upon our lives. We begin to speak in ways that may be unfamiliar to us. And if we’re truly filled with God’s Spirit, we may even speak in a language unfamiliar to our friends as well. Those whose time of life has seemingly passed may well begin to dream again, filled with the thoughts of what is possible — if not for themselves, for the generations coming behind them. The young will be captured by visions of what may be possible by the power of God’s spirit living inside of them — visions unimaginable before encountering the God of all creation. And no one will be left out. Even the women will have their lives changed as they choose to serve God. And as this power of the Holy Spirit becomes a present reality for those free and those who are oppressed, the playing field of equality will be leveled and all will rejoice at what God’s Spirit can do. Spirit powered living is an expression of God’s deep love for all humanity. As agents of God we will be filled with God’s spirit — we and those whose lives we touch — will all be transformed by the power of God’s Spirit and the lives they live.
Today’s Prayer —
Almighty God, empower me to experience the power of Spirit filled living with Your Holy Spirit upon me giving me new life, new dreams and new visions about Your purpose for Your world.

1 The hand of the LORD was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. 3 He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”
I said, “Sovereign LORD, you alone know. ”
4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. 6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD. ’”
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’” 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.
11 Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. 13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. 14 I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the LORD have spoken, and I have done it, declares the LORD.’”
The dead coming back to life is so “New Testament”. And yet, God speaks to us from antiquity about the power of God to inject life through God’s Holy Spirit into any and everything — even dried, lifeless, spiritless, dead bones. What is clear is that even though these old bones found themselves reassembled, connected in all of the right ways, functional in every respect, clothed with skin, muscle, tissue and have every appearance of being alive, true life and the power of that life giving force comes from God. It comes to us when God breathes the Spirit of Life into us through the presence and power of God’s Holy Spirit. When God does this, our lives can come together individually. But just as important, our lives can come together as a community of people empowered and powered by the Spirit of the living God. Our lives, as much as we make of them, are in reality lifeless forms that only resemble God’s creation until the breath of God gives us life. It is then that we recognize God for who God is and are able to be what God has created us to be. There are many things that have the appearance of life but are absent true life because they lack the presence of the spirit of the living God. Without the Spirit of God giving life to us, we might as well be dried bones in the valley of life.
Today’s Prayer —
Holy and gracious God, breathe Your Holy Spirit into these lifeless bones of mine until they come together filled with the new life from your Spirit empowered to live in service to you. Amen.

The United Methodist Men’s ministry of our local church is a core group of men, partnering with their pastor, to invite and initiate spiritual growth opportunities for all men of the church. Everyone has different gifts, graces, and areas of interest. Therefore, opportunities for participation include diverse ministries of the church, such as
We encourage leading and participating on committees, teaching Sunday school classes, youth ministries, scouting, mentoring, and assisting in leading worship service. The focus is both inward and outward. Inward — concentrating on those who attend and participate in the ministries within the church, and outward — to all men, assisting them to engage in the process of spiritual growth.
Our mission is to support spiritual growth among men, helping men to mature as disciples as they encourage spiritual formation in others.
Our goal is to empower the ministry of Jesus Christ through men within our congregation as we seek to capture the vision of God for our church —
“to become a living example of Jesus Christ active in service to our community.”
Churches United for Justice is a diverse and growing coalition of 17 churches throughout Wyandotte County. Members of these local parishes in Wyandotte county have come together based on the biblical imperative to “… do justice, ff.” (Micah 6:8), as well as Jesus’ reminder that while giving to the church is good, people of faith should pay more attention to the weightier matters of faith, justice, mercy, and faithfulness. (Matthew 23:23). In each of these reflections, justice is seen as primary for the health of the community and personal relationships. Justice in a biblical sense is the quality of being fair and reasonable. This often requires systemic change within communities.
The faiths participating in Churches United for Justice include United Methodist, Baptist, Philadelphia Bible, Peace and Fellowship, Church of Christ and Episcopal. These faith communities have come together believing that justice is a primary issue of faith and is the foundation of healthy relationships that build community.
Our church’s faith community participation is and will be in conjunction with the organization’s effort to focus on the need for affordable housing and curbing violence in our community.
