Good Food, Great Atmosphere
October 2, 2022 | Part of the series.
Luke 19 tells us of an interaction between Jesus and Zacchaeus, a wealthy tax collector, who eagerly agreed to host him for a meal. Jesus often ministered to others while eating and drinking. Offering hospitality and having a meal together breaks down barriers and provides a pleasant atmosphere for conversation and ministry. Salvation came to Zacchaeus when he came to know Christ. He was completely transformed. How might you influence others by providing hospitality, sharing the gospel and ministering to others?

Because He is omniscient, he experiences great joy, deep sadness, anger at sin, displeasure and pleasure all at the same time! How can we try to understand our perfect God better?
