The Table Is Sacred

Scripture: “They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.” — Acts 2:46–47
There’s a holy rhythm in the simple act of gathering around a table.It’s where hearts open, walls fall, and community is born.
The table was never just a piece of furniture — it’s a place of ministry. Jesus often revealed who He was not in the synagogue, but over a meal. He dined with sinners, healed the broken, and offered forgiveness while bread was being passed and wine was being poured.
As a chef, I’ve seen firsthand how the presence of God can move at the table. Food becomes a bridge — a way for Heaven to touch Earth. The laughter, the storytelling, the smell of something warm coming out of the oven… these aren’t just sensory details; they’re invitations for the Holy Spirit to dwell among us.
The early church understood this. They didn’t separate worship from fellowship — they intertwined them. Breaking bread was as much spiritual as it was physical. When we gather around a table with love, humility, and gratitude, we’re not just feeding bodies; we’re feeding souls.
So maybe the revival God is stirring doesn’t always start in a church building — maybe it starts at your table.
Light a candle.Set the plates.Pray over the food.And watch how God turns your dining space into an altar of His presence.
Because every meal prepared in love becomes a message from Heaven: “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” (Psalm 34:8)
