    Coming To The Feast Series

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Nov 5, 2022
     | 2,849 views

    This message is intended to explain the great offense shown in ignoring both the invitation to the Feast and the refusal to wear the proper wedding Garment, which is a reflection of Christ's Righteousness.

    The parable which began Matthew 22, our Gospel lesson this morning, is a parable that can really bug people. It’s shocking and disturbing and I have found over the years that people complain about it because of how harsh it is. It also serves as a good way for us to better understand how to ...read more

    Otherwise, politics is about "bread and circuses."

    Have you ever noticed that when you combine the two words, “THE” and “IRS,” it spells “THEIRS”? At one and the same time Jesus affirmed the rights of the state and freedom of conscience to worship and serve God. By allowing Caesar to collect taxes, Jesus opposes the Pharisees by acknowledging ...read more

    The Wedding Banquet: Invitation, Ingratitude, And Indiscretion, Part I

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 20, 2023
     | 1,305 views

    Jesus' parable of the wedding banquet (Matthew 22:1-14) is a call to salvation. There will be many who will make poor excuses and refuse the invitation. There will be those who accept it with gratitude, but some will try to enter in their own way. In which category do you fit?

    Throughout the Scriptures, the call of God to come to Him for salvation, grace, and mercy is prominent. The paradise we lost at our fall into sin is not irreversible nor permanent. He has promised redemption even though we do not deserve it. He promised to make all things new, starting with the ...read more

     | 1,061 views

    The original recipients of the invitation to the banquet (Matthew 22:1-7) refused to attend, giving flimsy excuses that resulted in their destruction (v.7). Who would attend the banquet now? Here is where we see the king's mercy extend to "the least of these".

    The Christian band Sidewalk Prophets wrote a song entitled, "Come to the Table", based on the Parable of the Wedding Banquet (Matthew 22:1-14) and the call of God for everyone regardless of their situation to come to the table and take place in the celebration.

    Those who responded were given white wedding garment and standing invitation to come until the banquet hall was full. The parable demonstrates the generosity of God who invites all to be saved and fellowship in His presence.

    It is the season of weddings for many couples and families. Jesus used the story of a wedding reception to remind us that regardless of the place or people, weddings are costly … in more ways than money. He invites us to one that we do not want to miss.

    Friends in Christ, 1. It is the season of weddings!

    An easy-to-read parable, but with the most powerful of meanings. It’s a bit scary in times but it clearly outlines our purpose in life, and the consequences; encouraging others to follow Jesus.

    Introduction: Years ago, I was introduced and became fascinated with the topics on the kingdom of heaven, however if I was to introduce or even describe this kingdom, I would not use this morning reading to do so, because although this reading appears relatively easy to follow, it is rather ...read more
