    Meals with Jesus - Week 16 (Easter)

    The First Meal of the New World Luke 24:28-35 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church What do Easter, a disastrous first date, and strangers sharing a meal together have in common? One key ingredient. Tomorrow morning is the most important day in the history of all creation. Bring your neighbors, family, coworkers, friends, enemies, strangers, and your postman because they need to hear the most important truth, the only truth, that can save their souls. Hear about the risen Lord, two disciples receiving eyes to see the truth, and the missing piece that could have saved a bad date. New mercies will rise with the sun tomorrow, come and see what the Lord has done!

    Meals with Jesus - Week 14

    The Table of Risk Luke 22:14-30 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church Meals can be some of the most memorable events in our lives, especially when they are centered around important events. For God’s people of Israel, there was one meal in particular that was celebrated every year with the purpose of looking back and remembering. The Passover was the greatest act of deliverance in the Old Testament, and the annual feast of remembrance afterward was a monumental celebration where the whole country packed into Jerusalem to partake in it together. Jesus participated in this meal with His disciples just before He was arrested, and what took place during that feast forever changed God’s people.

    Meals with Jesus - Week 13

    Little Man, Big Change Luke 19:1-10 Teacher: Blaine Dennison, Congregational Care Pastor at Oak Pointe Church A study performed in 2021 by the Pew Research Center revealed that 41% of Americans have experienced some form of harassment online, with 75% of those saying the abuse took place on social media. It’s clear that communication between humans has been impacted significantly by the internet, and not always in the best way. Online interactions don’t allow human connection because the person at the other end of the sentence is just a screen. When humanity is reduced to an object, then anything goes. During His earthly ministry, Jesus looked into eyes, touched with His hand, held with His arms, and spoke with His voice. Today He speaks into our hearts through His word, and now we are His hands and feet that deliver His message to others. The Word of Life breaks barriers and defenses and invites outsiders to come in and sit at His table.

    Meals with Jesus - Week 12

    Joy at the Father's Table Luke 15:11-32 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church It can be a very intimidating experience walking into a new place for the first time, whether it’s a church, classroom, work, gym, party, etc. The anticipation creates a highly anxious state of mind because one of the top questions on our mind is, “What will they think of me?” We feel like the outsider, as though everyone else is in on some secret that we don’t know. But suddenly someone offers a big smile and waves you over to sit next to them, and your whole mood changes. Suddenly you feel a sense of belonging. Jesus knows that all of us are outsiders; we all have a deep longing to feel welcomed and loved, to be brought in and feel secure in our place. But – the danger of belonging is that we can stop remembering when we were outsiders.

    Meals with Jesus - Week 11

    The Man Who Eats with Sinners Luke 15:1-10 Teacher: Brent Buttermore, Kids Pastor at Oak Pointe Church A 3-year-old little girl lost her beloved Muddles one day. She was in tears, heartbroken when it was time for her nap and her sweet stuffed kitten Muddles wasn’t there to comfort her. Assured by her mother that they would find Muddles, the toddler eventually fell asleep while the mother frantically tore through every inch of the house looking for the priceless toy. Hours turned to days and Muddles still wasn’t found. A week later, the little girl prayed for Jesus to help her find her lost kitten, and when she woke up from her nap, she opened a box in her closet and saw Muddles looking up at her. If Muddles were a person, how loved she would have felt knowing that the little girl and her mother were stopping at nothing to find her. Day after day, they didn’t give up. We are that little lost toy, and Jesus is relentless in His pursuit to find us and bring us home.

    Meals with Jesus - Week 10

    There's Still Room Luke 14:15-24 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church If you have ever thrown an event that requires a guest list and invitations, there are two lists running in your mind: the guests you want to come, and the guests who you hope can’t make it. The former are the ones that you are close with, or you know will be the life of the party; the latter are maybe the ones who make you feel awkward or are hard to talk to. But—what if everyone on the first list said no? What if they said they were too busy for you and your celebration? God enrobed Himself in humanity and became God with Us, to deliver His people and invite them into His kingdom. But when He arrived, they rejected both His invitation and His kingdom. Thankfully the story didn’t stop there; the King extended the invitation to all who would believe. In this message, we'll learn as we continue in our series and hear what the Lord has for us.

    Meals with Jesus - Week 9

    Seating Charts and Guest Lists Luke 14:7-14 Teacher: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor at Oak Pointe Church Ancient Rome utilized the dining table as a means for gaining social, political, and economic advantages. The host of an opulent dinner party would be an elite Roman citizen, and their goal was to showcase their wealth and sophistication by bringing out the best in class from food to entertainment. Their guest list was a who’s who of influential society, and the seating arrangement around the central table was no mere coincidence. Places of prominence were reserved for those guests who offered some kind of gain for the host, be it political or financial. When Jesus attended dinner parties of the prominent Pharisees, He was surely rubbing shoulders with people of means and power. He frequently called out their motives and lack of humility because their dinner parties were no different than their Roman counterparts. Jesus has a much different guest list in mind for us, however, and in this message, we will walk through His instructions for us.
