    The Great Banquet

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Dec 22, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,075 views

    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. An excuse is a hint of a reason wrapped in a lie. 1) First ...read more

    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

    The Easiest Way To Miss Out On Heaven

    based on 5 ratings

    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

    An Unconventional Birth Day Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Mar 17, 2011
     | 3,718 views

    There was another unconventional birth 2000 years ago. In stark contrast to the intensely glittered and gold portrayal through which many of us look at Christmas today, Jesus ended up being born in a cave that served as a stable because there was no room

    Following the Leading of the Spirit Acts 8:26-40 - Have you ever felt that you failed as a witness for Christ? Ever felt that God was calling you to do something but you chose to not listen to His voice? - This morning, let us discuss the importance of following the Spirit of God - Let us be ...read more

    The General call and those whom God brings to His feast of Life is seen in Luke 14:16-24. With `The Parable of the Great Banquet`` in, we see: 1) The Incident (Luke 14:16-17), 2) The Invited (Luke 14:18–20), 3) The Invitation (Luke 14:21–24)

    Thank you for coming this morning. You responded to an invitation to come and be with us enjoying each others company with food, fellowship and faithful worship. There are a lot of other things you could have been doing on such a nice day. Trips, the beach or a quite read are all enticing. Not ...read more

    Excuses That Could Keep You Out Of Heaven

    Contributed by Rodelio Mallari on Nov 20, 2010
    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,794 views

    An "excuse" is something said to hide the real reason for wrong actions. It is an attempt to cover up a shortcoming or sin. Beware! Excuses can damn not only the character but the souls of men.

    Intro: Summarize the passage. An EXCUSE is something said to hide the real reason for wrong actions. It is an attempt to cover up a shortcoming or sin. For example, every man has excuses for his neglect of duty; the debtor makes excuses for delay of payment; the student for being absent or failing ...read more

    This is a sermon about excuse giving in Luke 14.

    EXCUSES Luke 14:16-24 It is amazing what excuses people make and give for not coming to Christ or for not doing what the Lord is asking them to do. Some are too busy, some too clever, some too religious to repent, some too worldly to want to; some too proud to pray. The Lord Jesus once focused on ...read more

    This study considers the command to go into the highways and hedges and compel people to God.

    Have you ever heard or used the phrase “beat the bushes?” Beat the bushes refers to searching diligently for someone or something. The word etymology is based on the hunting practice of having someone hit bushes with a stick in order to force birds to fly up into the air to be shot. We have ...read more

    The Invitation

    We often think of a invitation, as a invitation to accept Jesus as our Savior, but God gives us a invitation to follow Him daily!

    Luke 14:16-25-Then He said to him, “A certain man gave a great supper and invited many, and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, ‘Come, for all things are now ready.’ But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I ...read more

    A common everyday item. Every house has one. A simple table or a meeting place. Perhaps a classroom. Could it be that a simple table is really a blank canvas?

    The Table Pt. 3 - Dinner Dates I. Introduction In week one, we learned that the table is set. From the beginning moments of time God has been working on the table so that we might join Him there in fellowship and communion.
