January 18, 2026 Worship – Tables Jesus Flipped, And Why We Need to Stop Pulling Up a Chair


This series confronts the places where Jesus disrupted comfort, power, and compromise, and invites us to ask whether we have rebuilt or polished the very tables He overturned. This 3-week journey explores the tables Jesus flipped; Week 1 – tables of exploitation. We’ll ask where we’ve tried to sit back down at this table and how we can live out justice, mercy, and humble discipleship in the world while encouraging others to follow Jesus’ lead.
