How do you define the term “religious”? Is everything you do spiritual all the time? What is the difference between spiritual and religious? In Christ, you are born into God’s spiritual realm, or His spiritual kingdom, so, how and when do we connect with the spiritual realm? Is that connection always godly? In what ways have the team members connected to the Spirit? Discover the answers to these questions and more in this episode of On the Table as the group discusses the contrast between the spiritual and religious and our connection to the Spirit of God.

This week the team puts the Old Testament On the Table for discussion. From prophecies to Christophanies, Genesis to Revelation, the entire Bible is all about Jesus.

Discover how the Old Covenant paves the way for the grace of the New Covenant.

Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit to us after He left to go back to the Father, and He said it would be better for us if He did so. How can this be? Who is the Holy Spirit and how is He our helper? What does it mean to be born again? Why do many churches avoid talking about the Holy Spirit? This week the On the Table squad answers these questions and more as they explore who the Holy Spirit is and how He works in our lives as children of God.

Grace enables equality in relationships, which in turn fosters good communication and an avoidance of hierarchical structures that tend to produce judgment toward others. Grace also eliminates the need for performance and allows for authenticity.

Old Testament blessings seemed to be something special, so much so, that Jacob stole Esau’s blessing, and Jacob wrestled with God and would not let go until God blessed him.

Transform your thinking about blessings and the power of God who loves His people and who loves to give good gifts. Find out that when you meet your faith with God’s power, awesome stuff happens.

Do you find yourself striving to make God happy through what you do? Do you get grace for your salvation, but you are not sure how grace applies to your everyday life?

Rest in knowing that God loves you and is happy with you simply because you are His child. Tune in and learn more about this refreshing, radical, and abundant gift called grace.

Listen in as the On the Table crew discuss the juice of life; the stuff that makes this relationship with Jesus real, fulfilling, and alive.
