At His Table: A Lenten Journey of Love and Liberation

For many Black women, the table has always been more than a place to eat. It’s where stories are passed down. Where laughter softens the hard edges of life. Where prayers are whispered over steaming plates, and love is served—sometimes with nothing more than rice and resilience.

The table has always been sacred. A place of nourishment, presence, and belonging. But for many Black women, the table has also been a place of tension—where we’ve been expected to serve, stay silent, or sit on the margins.

So what happens when Jesus invites us to His table?

This Lent, Sister Soul Care welcomes you to a sacred series called At His Table: Where Love Meets Our Story. Through scripture, soulful storytelling, and spiritual practice, we journey alongside women in the Bible who dared to come close to Christ—some with desperation, some with worship, all with a need to be seen, healed, and made whole.

In this series, Jesus does something different. He flips the script.
He invites us in.
He makes room.
He says: There is a seat for you. Right here. With Me.

At His Table is an invitation to rest, receive, and reclaim your place in God’s love. Not because you’ve earned it. Not because you’re perfect. But because you belong.

Why This Series Matters

The world often tells us we need to prove ourselves to belong. To be the helper, the strong one, the one who holds it all together. But Jesus isn’t waiting for us to clean ourselves up or climb some spiritual ladder.

He simply says, “Come.” Sit. Eat. Be still. Be seen. Be loved.

This series walks us through six moments in the Gospels where Jesus meets women at tables, meals, and gatherings. These aren’t just stories—they’re sacred encounters that speak to our modern lives. Encounters where Jesus affirms our worth, meets us in our pain, and invites us to deeper relationship.

For Black women who are often last to be served, this series affirms:
You are God’s guest of honor.

The Heart of the Journey

Each episode in this series centers around a table moment—where Jesus meets a woman, not with judgment, but with compassion, healing, and dignity. Together, we’ll explore:

• The Table of Grace – where shame is replaced with forgiveness
• The Table of Healing – where brokenness is touched with compassion
• The Table of Trust – where scarcity becomes surrender
• The Table of Purpose – where grief opens the way for resurrection
• The Table of Faith – where desperation becomes bold belief
• The Table of Belonging – where every seat is sacred, and every woman is seen

These aren’t just meals—they’re moments of transformation.
They are tables where wholeness is served.

Soul Care Invitation

Pull up a chair. Pour a cup of something warm. Breathe.

Ask yourself:

• Where do I feel unwelcome, unseen, or unworthy in my spiritual life?
• What would it look like to believe that Jesus wants me at His table—just as I am?
• How might I extend this same hospitality and healing to other sisters in Christ?

At His table, love makes room.
At His table, no one is forgotten.
At His table, you are already enough.
