My Super Weird, Crazy, Dysfunctional Family | A Table for Two Please | Pastor Steve Cannistraci

In his sermon "A Table for Two Please," part of our My Super Weird, Crazy, Dysfunctional Family series, Pastor Steve explores how God's plan for reaching the Gentiles required a special messenger—the Apostle Paul. Pastor Steve emphasizes that: God's sovereignty and eternal plan: From Isaiah 46 and Revelation 1, God declares the end from the beginning and His purposes will stand. Jesus' unconventional family: Despite coming from a "crazy and wild" family where His mother was pregnant before marriage, He was born in a barn, His brothers didn't believe in Him, and He was despised, rejected, betrayed, and abandoned—this was how God chose to build an eternal Church. God's inclusive mission: Through Simeon's prophecy, Jesus was prepared as "a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel". The Last Supper wasn't the last: Jesus shared the Passover meal with His adopted family (the apostles), but promises to sup with anyone who opens the door to Him. Paul's special calling: To reach the Gentiles, God needed a Jew who was "totally disconnected" from his pride of being a Jew—like Moses before him. Paul's story began before the foundation of the world, with his conversion detailed in Acts 9. Pastor Steve highlights how Jesus has "reserved a table for two"—an intimate invitation for personal relationship with Him.
