The Table of Bread

Inside the sanctuary’s first room sat a table with fresh bread, replaced regularly so it never went stale. It represents God’s word, meant to be taken in fresh and often, not just once.

Frequently asked questions

Isn't reading the Bible once enough?

Not really. The bread on this table was replaced regularly because it went stale. Staying close to God works the same way, a daily habit rather than a one-time event.
