17 “Friends,[c] I realize that what you and your leaders did to Jesus was done in ignorance. 18 But God was fulfilling what all the prophets had foretold about the Messiah—that he must suffer these things. 19 Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. 20 Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah. 21 For he must remain in heaven until the time for the final restoration of all things, as God promised long ago through his holy prophets. 22 Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among your own people. Listen carefully to everything he tells you.’[d] 23 Then Moses said, ‘Anyone who will not listen to that Prophet will be completely cut off from God’s people.’[e]
24 “Starting with Samuel, every prophet spoke about what is happening today. 25 You are the children of those prophets, and you are included in the covenant God promised to your ancestors. For God said to Abraham, ‘Through your descendants[f] all the families on earth will be blessed.’ 26 When God raised up his servant, Jesus, he sent him first to you people of Israel, to bless you by turning each of you back from your sinful ways.”

And, our sermon was about the family table and how it is so much more than just dinner and eating. Many references were made to how important the fellowship is that occurs in the New Testament at the evening meal. In fact, the ancient Hebrews considered evening the start of the day and waking in the morning as joining God's work that was already in progress. Pretty interesting.

Right, the Table. And among the examples used to illustrate the Biblical precedent for sharing a meal together was Acts 2 - our passage from last Tuesday. I thought to myself, "Hey, I know this - thanks cas!"

Yes, our sermon was about 'The Table' or breaking the bread. As stated, there are so many references in the Bible to 'breaking the bread'. What is interesting/important is that 'the table' is about the gathering of believers to break bread and praise God. The table provides a connection and togetherness and about sharing one's faith.
