The Cross-Centered Table
Nov 2, 2025 • Nate Loucks
Main Idea: Rhetoric divides, resurrection unites. Through Jesus, God removes hostility and forms a new family, demonstrated at our tables.
Scripture: Ephesians 2:11-22 illustrates how Jesus breaks down walls of hostility to create a new humanity.
Key Takeaways:
- Honor the image of God in others before addressing issues.
- Listen to understand, not to reload with arguments.
- Practice kind truth over hot takes for healthy communication.
Application: Prioritize reconciliation over rhetoric at our tables by following practical steps like setting boundaries, avoiding triangulation, and practicing the 5:1 blessing ratio. Remember, reconciled people become reconciling people.
