Granbury:

  1. Who is currently sitting at your “table” and who isn’t? Who might God be asking you to make room for? 
  2. Levi responded to Jesus by throwing a feast and inviting others to meet Him. What keeps you from opening your home or life to people who need Jesus? 
  3. Jesus used hospitality to speak identity into people’s brokenness. Who in your life needs to hear words of encouragement or hope, and how can you speak life into them this week? 
  4. Thinking about the 3×5 card challenge, who is one person God might be placing on your heart to invite to your table? 
  5. If your life ended today, who would stand up and say they were impacted by your hospitality? What needs to change in your life to leave that kind of legacy?

Glen Rose:

  1.  How does your life reflect the grace and mercy of Jesus, not just His rules?
    Are you more focused on behavior (yours or others’) than on heart change? Where do you see that showing up in your relationships?
  2. Who in your life have you labeled as “too far gone” or “undeserving”—and how does
     that line up with how Jesus sees them? What lens are you viewing people through—judgment, indifference, compassion? What does it
     reveal about your heart?
  3. What’s one area of your life where hurt might still be spilling out instead of healing or
     Redemption? How might that hurt be affecting the way you treat others, especially those closest to you?
  4. What do people learn about Jesus by watching your life? If someone only knew Jesus through your words, your habits, and your tone—what kind of Jesus
    would they be introduced to?
  5. Who’s one person in your life you can intentionally invite to the table—into friendship,
     into your home, into your life? What might be holding you back? Fear? Comfort? Judgment? How can you overcome that this
     week?

Cleburne:

  1. When you think back over your life, what’s the most memorable meal you’ve ever been invited to — not because of the food, but because of the people or the way you felt welcomed?
  2. Read Matthew 9:9-13 together. Matthew went from sitting and receiving as a tax collector to getting up and following Jesus. How does responding to Jesus’ invitation change the way we live and how we treat others?
  3. Matthew didn’t just follow Jesus — he filled his table with people who needed Him. Who’s someone in your life that you know needs to meet Jesus? What usually holds you back from inviting them into your life or to your table?
  4. Jesus sat with sinners, not to condemn but to call them to more. When you think about conversations at your table, how can you make them more about pointing people to Jesus instead of just “hanging out”?
  5. This week, who is one person or couple you will intentionally invite to your table (home, restaurant, coffee shop)? What’s your next step to actually make it happen?

Tolar:

  1.  Share about a memorable table in your life. Why was it so important to you?
  2.  How does looking past who people are to who they could become change the way you
     interact with those who are different from you?
  3. How have you seen hospitality open the door for someone to meet Jesus?
  4.  How have you personally experienced hope, forgiveness, love, or peace around a table?
    Who outside your normal circle are you going to set a table for, and why?

Godley: 

  1. Where did Jesus first meet you?
  2. How can we recognize when we’ve slipped into an “us vs. them” mindset like the
    Pharisees?
  3.  What helps you remember that we are all sinners saved by grace?
  4. Evangelism can feel intimidating. What is one step you can take this week to share about the hope that we have in Jesus?
  5. Who are you gathering around a table with and when?

  1. What’s one step you can take this week to welcome someone who needs Jesus into your life or around your table?
  2. How do you typically “see” people – through Jesus’ eyes or through your own lens and why?
  3. What’s one simple way to share your story or faith journey?
  4. Do you feel like you’re living in a Christian bubble?
  5. What’s one practical way you can live out this message in the next month?
