Belonging at the Table of the Lord - Pastor Cody, July 5th

This sermon explores what it means to belong to the family of God through the powerful imagery of having a seat at the Lord's table. Pastor Cody emphasizes that our belonging is not earned through merit or heritage, but is a gift of God's grace. The message addresses the human longing to belong and shows how God satisfies this deep need through Christ. The sermon weaves together themes of welcome, abundance, purpose, and perseverance through suffering, all centered around the communion table as a symbol of our place in God's family. Drawing from Psalm 23, the pastor illustrates how God prepares a feast for us even in the midst of our darkest valleys and most challenging circumstances. The message includes a powerful testimony from Hank Hansen about his recent cancer journey, demonstrating God's faithfulness through trials.
