In this sermon on Luke 14:7-14, Rev. Dr. Howe reflects on Jesus' teachings about power, vulnerability, and radical hospitality in the context of another tragic school shooting. Jesus' words about dinner party etiquette reveal deeper truths about the upside-down nature of God's kingdom. This sermon examines how our cultural obsession with power and control contributes to violence, while Jesus calls us to intentionally choose vulnerability and authentic community. Through the metaphor of the shared table, we are challenged to examine the ways we cling to false power and invited to participate in dismantling systems of violence through radical welcome and genuine relationship.
