    Come, for everything is ready now. And there is no legitimate excuse to refuse.

    Dwight L. Moody once preached a sermon from this parable; something I’m going to tell you about at the end of this sermon. His title was “Excuses” and as a sort of salute to the great preacher I’ve given mine the same title. I’ve never seen his sermon so any resemblance in this sermon to his is ...read more

    Christ has given you a daily invitation to fellowship with Him but many of us reject His invitation giving various excuses. Today we will spend some time reviewing the excuses they gave and see they are the same excuses we give.

    INTRODUCTION In our passage today we find Jesus teaching a parable. A parable is an earthly story that teaches a Heavenly truth. Earthly Story - A king had decided to throw a banquette and invited all of His closest friends. In those days the invitation would go out and would be accepted or ...read more

    The Lord has invited you to sit and commune with him at His banquet table right now. What does this mean? How will you respond? Teaching by Glenn Bleakney.

    We have been invited to a Great Feast. At this feast there is a table spread before us. This Feast is not to be viewed as an occasion reserved strictly for the future when we dwell with the Lord forever. Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice and honor him. For the time has come for the ...read more

    The Easiest Way To Miss Out On Heaven

    Contributed by Larry Moyer on Aug 5, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,260 views

    This message addresses common reasons unbelievers give of why they will not trust Christ. It also explores the difference between a "good reason" and an "excuse," and we find that most of these "good reasons" non-believers give are just "excuses."

    I am well aware that one of the problems people have with speakers like me is that they often wonder if they are actually real human beings. I once read of a little girl who was taken to church for the first time ever. The child was struck by the solemness of the occasion. And after several moments ...read more

    God takes the initiative to invite us to connect with Him. Many are too preoccupied with things, too busy making a living, and too caught up by other loves, to be able to make a wise choice.

    Someone said (in verse 15), "Blessed is the man who will eat at the feast in the Kingdom of God." To be eating at the feast in God’s Kingdom is a blessing. - God wants us to fellowship with Him. He wants us to come back into His Kingdom. - God is inviting us today, and Jesus wants the people to ...read more

    Jesus wants to spend time with us. Do we accept the invitation or make excuses?

    Jesus wants to spend time with us . . . do we accept his invitation or make excuses? Luke 14:15-24 Jesus has summed up the human heart – these are the main things that keep a person from experiencing a personal relationship with God.

    The invitation is still open but still being ignored by many who think they’re going anyway.

    Are you going to the party? Luke 14:15-24 I heard about a rabbit and a snake meeting in the forest. The rabbit said, "We don’t know how we look. Why don’t we describe each other to the other so we’ll know how we look?" The snake said, "Good idea. You’ve got a pink nose, ...read more
