“The Risen and Broken Bread”
Series: Beyond the Walls
Scripture: Luke 24:25-35
The Road to Emmaus is more than just one more story testifying to Christ’s resurrection; it is, in fact, a recipe for spiritual formation within the church. Just as a particular set of ingredients must be mixed in the right manner for bread to rise, so, too, must a defined set of practices and habits be present in a disciple’s life for the disciple to become a mature follower of Christ. One of the prominent indicators of a disciple’s advancement down the spiritual path is an inward compulsion to go out into the world to share Christ with others—both in word and action. We witness this pattern with the disciples on the road: Via a specific set of spiritual practices, they see Christ, which then compels them to travel back to Jerusalem to share with the other disciples what they have seen. Join us this Sunday as we discuss baking bread, rising up as Jesus’ disciples, and sharing the “bread of life” with others!
