With that their eyes were opened… and they’d come to know Jesus in the breaking of the bread. — Luke 24:31
Week 3 — REMAINING
Staying at the Table
Scriptural Focus: Luke 24:13-35 — The Road to Emmaus
A Simple Practice for Today:
For Individuals
Option One:
Share a meal. And just be present. Put your phone away. Ask one honest question you don’t already know the answer to. And listen all the way to the end of their response.
Option Two:
Circle back. Reach out after a hard or unfinished conversation. You don’t need to solve anything. Just say: “I’ve been thinking about our conversation. I’m grateful we can talk about hard things.”
For Congregations or Groups
Emmaus Table Practice:
Invite each person to complete this sentence:
“Something I’m still working through is…”
After each person shares, the group responds together: “We’re glad you’re here.”
Simple Prayer:
Faithful God, when the road is long and understanding incomplete, teach us to remain with one another in hope and trust. Amen.
