Why Are You Focused on the Speck?
One of the more challenging questions Jesus ever asked was actually a rhetorical question. He wasn't seeking an immediate audible response from His audience. He just used a question to confront an issue they were in habit of overlooking. It's a question we still wrestle with today, because it gets at the heart of how we view and treat others...and ultimately how we view ourselves.
Scripture References: Matthew 7:5, Luke 18:13, Matthew 7:3-5, 2 Corinthians 5:16
From Series: "Exploring the Questions of Jesus"
During His ministry, Jesus was asked a lot of questions: "Why do you say the things you do?" "Can you heal this person?" "What do you think about (insert hot topic here)?" But Jesus also asked a lot of questions, questions that challenged people to take an honest look at their actions, their motives, even their faith. And those questions that Jesus asked hundreds of years ago are still relevant questions for us today. For the next few weeks at Flagstone we are going to discover a deeper understanding of God (and hopefully a deeper understanding of ourselves) as we wrestle with some of the questions Jesus asked.

Let's Eat at Simon's House
Imagine hosting a party and planning every detail only to have that one person show up that wasn't invited. Not only that, but they mess everything up for everyone else. How would you handle it? What do you do with an uninvited guest? That's what a man named Simon had to figure out when he invited Jesus for dinner. We'll discover together how Jesus used an awkward social situation to teach His fellow party-goers about compassion and grace.
Scripture References: Luke 7:44, Luke 7:47, Luke 7:37-38, Luke 7:48
From Series: "Let's Eat!"
Mealtimes provide opportunities to get to know someone or connect with someone in a relaxed atmosphere. At the dinner table is when I tend to let my guard down and allow others to get a better glimpse of the real me, and I get a chance to get a clearer picture of them as well. Multiple times in scripture Jesus is shown enjoying a meal with others. These often become teachable moments for both His disciples and His critics. Let's take advantage of the opportunity to "eat" with Jesus and get a clearer picture of His message and His mission.
