At the Table with Jesus: Invited to Belong | Lenten Series, Willow Hill UMC service, Feb. 22, 2026

Описание: What if belonging comes before becoming?

In this Lenten message, Invited to Belong, we reflect on Luke 5:27–32, where Jesus calls Levi — a tax collector and outsider — and then chooses to sit at his table. Before change. Before transformation. Before anything is fixed… there is invitation.

Throughout the season of Lent, we follow Jesus to the table — where grace is offered freely, walls come down, and lives are changed. This message explores what it means to build longer tables instead of higher fences, and how God still works within complicated families, messy systems, and imperfect people to bring healing and redemption.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you truly belong — this message is for you.

Lent reminds us that grace meets us exactly where we are. The table belongs to Jesus. And you are invited.
