Feasts and festivals are a central part of many cultures, and for Christians there is no more important "meal" than Holy Communion, in which we commemorate our liberation through the sacrificial death of Jesus. Yet there are many other occasions in the Bible where Jesus taught his friends and disciples as he ate and drank. In The Feasts Of The Kingdom, Maurice Fetty examines a wide variety of sacred meals in scripture, ranging from the Lord's supper to banquets in the parables. He connects these occasions to our mealtimes today, where we can develop a sense of community and Christian fellowship that is emblematic of the spiritual feast at the heart of the church's worship. With 26 messages included for all seasons of the church year, this volume is an especially valuable source of preaching ideas. But most of all, Fetty's insights provide sustenance for the soul!

Chapter titles include:

Faith and Fast-Food Religion (John 6:67-68)
The Hunger Pangs of Success (Philippians 2:5-7)
Breakfast on the Beach (John 21:9, 12)
The Ultimate Wedding Reception (Revelation 19:9)
Table Manners in a Hungry World (Luke 16:20-21)
... and many more! Maurice A. Fetty recently retired after serving for thirteen years as the senior minister of the Congregational Church of Manhasset (United Church of Christ) in Manhasset, New York. He has also pastored congregations in Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, and New York. Currently the interim Senior Minister of Park Congregational Church (UCC) in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Fetty is the author of numerous CSS titles, including The Devilish Dialogues, Money And The Kingdom Of God, and Sex, Love, And Marriage.
