In Rev. Jake Medcalf's latest sermon, he explores the profound effect of hospitality and inclusion, drawing parallels to Jesus' ministry. We learn about the importance of eating with diverse groups, the emotional and social costs of such actions, and the incredible power of meals to break barriers and bring people together. This sermon challenges us to practice radical hospitality, expand our tables, and embody the inclusive love of Jesus in our lives and communities.
