Week 2: Chair One Church

January 14, 2018

 

The Table is a Metaphor for the Church; it’s a Place where People come to get Fed.

 

John 6:35 Jesus replied: I am the bread that gives life! No one who comes to me will ever be hungry. No one who has faith in me will ever be thirsty. Contemporary English Version

 

IF YOU’RE AWARE OF THE “GUEST CHAIR” YOU GROW EVERY CHAIR

 

Chair One is our Guest Chair

 

Only 1% of the Churches in America have a Guest Chair

 

Chair Two is the New Convert Chair

 

1 Corinthians 3:1 Brothers and sisters, in the past I could not talk to you as I talk to spiritual people. I had to talk to you as I would to people without the Spirit - babies in Christ.2 The teaching I gave you was like milk, not solid food, because you were not able to take solid food. And even now you are not ready. New Century Version

 

Luke 6:47 These words I speak to you are not mere additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundation words, words to build a life on.  48 "If you work the words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who dug deep and laid the foundation of his house on bedrock. When the river burst its banks and crashed against the house, nothing could shake it; it was built to last. 49 But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don't work them into your life, you are like a dumb carpenter who built a house but skipped the foundation. When the swollen river came crashing in, it collapsed like a house of cards. It was a total loss." The Message

 

Chair Three is the Christ Followers Chair

 

Luke 14:21 "The servant went back and told the master what had happened. He was outraged and told the servant, 'Quickly, get out into the city streets and alleys. Collect all who look like they need a square meal, all the misfits and homeless and wretched you can lay your hands on, and bring them here.'  22 "The servant reported back, 'Master, I did what you commanded - and there's still room.'  23 "The master said, 'Then go to the country roads. Whoever you find, drag them in. I want my house full!  24 Let me tell you, not one of those originally invited is going to get so much as a bite at my dinner party.' "The Message
