    God's kingdom is like a great feast. Are we treating it as one?

    Parable of the Great Feast (Luke 14:16-24 NIV) Jesus replied: "A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. {17} At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, 'Come, for everything is now ready.' {18} "But they all alike began to make ...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

    We meet some strange people in the world in which we live. I guess what is really strange about life is that we think everyone is strange but us.

After a week or two, his mother called from Aberdeen to see how her son was doing in his new life. Angus said, “I'm fine! But there are some ...read more

    Jesus And Giving Series

    Today we will turn to examine what Jesus had to say about giving. And we will ask what giving looked like to Jesus. The passage in Luke 14:15-33 is considered one of the "Hard Sayings of Jesus". And indeed, it takes a bit of explanation to make sense of it.

    Jesus and Giving Text: Luke 14:15-33 Luke 14:25-33 (NIV) 25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my ...read more

    God offers us a great banquet that sometimes we doubted for being too good to be true, but we can prove to ourselves that our Lord’s offer is far more than what we thought if we only surrender to him and accept His calling.

    Many of us have been blinded by unnecessary things that life itself offers. Prestigious car, jewelry, and a feast of delicious food are just some of what we believe are the best things to receive and attain in our lives. And because of these unnecessary things that we tend to value, we have ignored ...read more

    WE ARE LIVING IN A DAY AND TIME WHERE EVERYBODY HAS SOME KIND OF CRUTCH AND THESE CRUTCHES ARE ONLY EXCUSES THAT WE LEAN ON IN SUPPORT OF OUR PERSONAL FAULTS AND FAILURES AND HOW OFTEN DO WE USE EXCUSES

    Luke 14:15-24 (KJV) And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
