Welcome to The Collective Table, where we celebrate the intersections of Jesus, justice, and joy! This podcast is brought to you by The Oceanside Sanctuary Church. Each week, we bring our listeners a recording of our weekly Sunday teaching at Oceanside Sanctuary, which ties scripture into the larger conversations happening in our community, congregation and podcast. We’re glad you’re here—thanks for listening.

This week, Jenell's lesson is entitled "Mary's Manifesto" and is based on the scripture found in Luke 1:46-55.

This teaching was recorded on Sunday, December 22nd at The Oceanside Sanctuary Church (OSC) in Oceanside, CA. To learn more about our community or to support the work we do, visit us at https://oceansidesanctuary.org.

At OSC, our mission to bring good news to the poor, the hurting, and the oppressed shapes everything we do—including this podcast. This year, we’re aiming to raise $50,000 to support our Community Impact programs, like our food pantry, social justice outreaches, and advocacy efforts.

Merry Christmas to our Collective Table community! This Advent season, join The Collective Table Podcast each weekday for a special reflection led by Jenell Coker. Each week, the reflections will focus around a different theme of Advent: Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love.

For our final week of Advent, our focus is love. Today's final Advent reflection is entitled "Love in Christ" and is based around the scripture found in John 1:14.

We are so glad to have journeyed alongside our listeners this Advent season. We hope that these daily reflections have given you some space each day to find solace and reflect on where Christ’s love, peace, joy, and hope are breaking through all around us.

Now that Advent is concluding, we will be taking a break for a couple of weeks, but don’t go too far! Look out for SEASON TEN (!!) coming in the new year.
