Coming to the Table

Today, we explore the power of faith through Jesus' teachings in Luke 17:5-10. The disciples ask for increased faith, and Jesus responds with a profound lesson: even faith as small as a mustard seed can accomplish the seemingly impossible. This reminds us that it's not the quantity of our faith that matters, but its quality and our willingness to act upon it. Jesus challenges us to face our problems, whether personal or global, with just a tiny bit of faith. We're encouraged to remember that with God by our side, nothing is truly impossible. The story of Mary McLeod Bethune serves as a powerful example of how a small seed of faith and determination can lead to monumental change, even in the face of overwhelming odds. As we approach the communion table, we're invited to reflect on how our own small acts of faith can grow into transformative forces in our lives and communities.
