    The Feast/The Excuses Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Feb 28, 2010
    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,724 views

    There are many excuses for rejecting what God has to offer, and God sees through them all. If we’re full of the world we’ll have no appetite for Heaven.

    Today’s parable starts out as table-talk. At a dinner, Jesus mentions “the resurrection of the righteous”, an encouraging truth. Someone at the table gets so excited, he declares a Beatitude: “Blessed is everyone who will eat at the banquet in the Kingdom of God!” ...read more

    Bigger Hearts For Lost People

    What was it that transformed a semi-defeated Bible study group meeting in an upper room in Jerusalem into this highly energized, Holy Spirit empowered, life-giving local church? The inundation of 3000 new converts on Pentecost Day.

    Building Bigger Hearts for Lost People I would like to start with a multiple-choice question: Which of these would most likely transform the average sleepy, tradition-bound local church into a dynamic, fired-up, community of faith? Which of the following events? A) Burning the hymnbooks, and ...read more

    Christians Are The Chosen People

    A look at Election and the place of Free Will based on Jesus' words "Many are called but few are chosen" in Matthew 22

    Matthew 22: 1 – 14 (emphasise v. 14) Jesus said ‘Many are called but few are chosen’. This raises three questions, 1. on what basis are people ‘chosen’, 2 why are only a ‘FEW chosen’? and 3 who does the choosing? God alone, or o we have any free will in the ...read more

    The Mixed Multitude Among Us

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 24, 2020
     | 4,265 views

    Allowing unsaved individuals to provide guidance for the church invites destruction of the Faith.

    “A mixed multitude also went up with them” [EXODUS 12:38a]. [1] The world is attending our services. That is the good news! The bad news is that the world is attending our services. Churches of this day tend to order services of worship of the Living God with a view of accommodating the desires ...read more

    Who Are God's People?

    Contributed by Judith Hand on Oct 11, 2014
     | 6,541 views

    God's people are forgiven sinners who have accepted Christ's sacrifice for their sins. Repentant people are accepted by God, but those who think they are good enough to enter heaven on their own merit will be cast out.

    Who Are God’s People? Exodus 32:1-14 Philippians 4:1-9 Matthew 22:1-14 Our first reading from Exodus is not difficult to understand. The Israelites have gotten impatient waiting for Moses so they ask Aaron to make them gods who will go before them. They had had many highs and lows on ...read more

    A Peculiar People: On The Road

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 26, 2026
     | 156 views

    Faithfulness is tested not by abstract obedience, but by whether truth walks with mercy among those who bear its greatest cost.

    Adventists know how to talk about obedience. We are fluent in it. We have inherited a vocabulary shaped by commandment-keeping, faithfulness under pressure, and clarity in a confused world. Obedience, for us, is not an abstract ideal. It is a marker of identity. It tells us who we are and, just as ...read more

    Large crowds followed Jesus, coming where He was. He could've waited on them to come to Him, but often He went out, seeking them. Jesus was often found among those society rejected. We too must be willing to go where they are, seeking to reach them.

    Found among Sinners Mark 2: 13-17 Following a season of ministry around the region of Galilee, Jesus had returned to Capernaum. His return created quite a stir, as multitudes arrived at Peter’s house, hoping to see Jesus. The palsied man was miraculously healed, and Jesus made a statement that ...read more

    Three good reasons why we are not ashamed of the Gospel

    NOT ASHAMED A pastor, a boy scout, and a scientist were the only passengers on a small plane. The pilot came back to the cabin and explained that the plane was going down but there were only three parachutes and four people. The pilot then added, "I should have one of the parachutes because I have ...read more

    The parable of the great supper, teaches us of the invitation of God to everyone to join Him in the feast, the excuses of man not to come and finally the results of not accepting the invitation.

    Come; for All Things Are Now Ready Luke 14:16-24 Intro In the parable of the great supper, our Lord presents a picture of the blessings of Christianity under the figure of a wonderful banquet in which everything has been provided by God who is the generous Host. The world promises much to those ...read more

    It is because we’re only human that we can come into God’s presence only under Jesus’ sponsorship, and clothed in his grace.

    I got an offer last week that I almost didn’t refuse. It was from a travel company who, in return for my coming to a one-hour pitch for their company, would give me 4 free days and nights in any one of dozens of different destinations, and if I came between Tuesday and Thursday they’d double the ...read more

    Come Thirsty People

    This is a desperate call from a loving Father to come to him. There is a deep love in that call to get right with him and find him while he is still near.

    We do not have the time to go through all the verses this morning but please join me as we look at a couple of them. Vs.1 says: “Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.” That is like a call from ...read more

    One of the greatest gifts God gives us is 
the invitation to belong — not just to Him, but to a family — His family.

    God’s Forever Family Introduction Erma Bombeck is one of my favorite authors. Her newspaper column called At Wit’s End was full of humor and wisdom.

    Do Parents Need A Paradigm Shift? Lifestyle Change
