Summary
What roles do our kitchen tables play? Are they surfaces to collect mail, lunchboxes, and odds and ends as we move through our day, or are they gathering spaces where we can be nourished physically and spiritually? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can establish God as the spiritual authority in our homes through hospitality and our kitchen tables. If we want to see change in our households, it will require intentionality and commitment to new habits. Nobody's family is perfect, but the good news is the God we worship is in the restoration business—He can fix anything we've messed up or Satan has destroyed. Obedience can be uncomfortable at first, but saying "Yes" to God's invitations for our households can change the destiny of our nation.

| 1:08.7 | We've been walking through a series under the general theme of Let's Eat, kind of borrowing the idea around let's pray that we wanted to take prayer outside the church, outside the boundaries of the formal religious service. |
| 1:21.0 | Well, this notion of let's eat is really the recognition of the authority of God in our homes. |
| 1:27.0 | And not just because we say we're Christ followers |
| 1:29.1 | and we have made a profession of faith |
| 1:31.0 | and perhaps we've taken the step of baptism, |
