A Seven-Course Bible Study Unpacking the Key Meals Jesus Attended
by Kate Jackson
Release date: November 25th 2022
Categories: Bible study guides, Biblical studies (general), Prayer
This seven-week guide aims to aid Christians, individually or in small groups, to take a closer look at seven of the meals Jesus attended, focusing on what Jesus was trying to communicate through them, either in the food eaten or in the social interactions he had whilst dining. Each session examines set bible passage(s), frequently considering them through the lens of the stories and teachings which bookend the meal. The sessions also prioritise posing questions to support Christians in reflecting upon their own lives and how they can further incorporate Jesus’ teachings into them.
This guide brings into one user-friendly volume a range of ideas that these meals explore, including God’s grace, what real purity means, how Jesus equips us to further his Kingdom, the purpose of Jesus’ miracles and the nature of Jesus’ Messiahship, as well as current interpretations of these occasions of commensality and the relevance of their historical and social context, in a language that is easy to understand

For this role, she utilised the skills she gained through obtaining a first-class English Literature degree and a distinction for her PGCE with a literacy and ESOL specialism. In addition, her experience as a teacher and specialist English tutor stood her in good stead when adapting and preparing learning materials for her house group. Her hands-on experience has enabled her to see the type of materials that would encourage engagement, learning, knowledge and life application.
She has had two books published, in an unrelated field, by the British Library and is a dedicated and serious blogging analyst of classic crime fiction. She has been asked to speak at a national conference at the British Library. Kate lives in Hexham, UK.
