    This sermon seeks to explore what it means to wear the wedding garments, and how choosing to wear them requires commitment regardless of what is happening in our lives.

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. Over the past few weeks, we have been working through a number of challenging parables in Matthews Gospel, and we are again faced with another this morning. There are definitely two parts to this parable, the first mirrors the concepts of our ...read more

    Being "clothed with Christ" means changing the way we live to reflect Christ and His teachings in all we do and say. Living as God's chosen people means living God's way and not Our way!

    Chosen Matthew 22: 1 - 14 Intro: Today’s scripture is about a wedding banquet. I have a story that I read recently that I want to share with you.

    Anticipation can be a powerful force to make us prepare for the coming of the Lord, or it can be negative force to create doubt and fear! Either way, it drives us!

    Anticipation By Rev. James may Very early this morning I awoke to a single word going over and over in my mind. I immediately recognized it as a “Word from the Lord” because it was nothing that I had thought of or dreamed of that brought it forth. That single word was ...read more

    There was no procedural compliance in terms of the man’s dress which is symbolic that he was not clothed in his white baptismal garment (saved).

    The Wedding Garment— An old Baptist preacher’s story tells of a parishioner who greeted his minister at the close of the service with the same observation, Sunday after Sunday: “You really gave it to them today, Preacher!” Over time, the minister became concerned that this parishioner never seemed ...read more

    In order to have true transformation, we are called to speak truth with boldness to guide our flock to an effective walk, where He is expecting believers to accept their calling and wear the requirement at all times vs. when it suits them.

    I thank God for all that He is doing in my life, and in the lives of His people. I am thankful for all of God’s messengers here in service today. It is truly an honor to have you here today. As I labored on the Word for today, God communicated that He is calling for true transformation--a ...read more

    The Wedding Crasher

    Friend you can wear no other garment to the wedding except the righteousness of Jesus. Confess your sins and be baptised then profess your faith and seek a closer walk with the Lord. Those not clothed in wedding garments are cast out into outer darkness.

    The Wedding Crasher Matthew 22:1-14 Summer is a time for weddings and often Jesus attendance at the wedding in Canaan gets mentioned. We see in John’s gospel that Jesus His mother Mary and the disciples were all invited guests. The guest list is one of the most difficult things for an ...read more

    How should we go about inviting people to come to Christ?

    Jesus enjoyed parties. His very first miracle was at a wedding feast. When He called Matthew to follow Him, He went to Matthew’s house for a party. So it’s not surprising, when the religious leaders criticized Him, they said He went to too many parties, attended by wrong people. “The Son of Man ...read more

    Imagine missing Heaven because you wore the wrong clothes! Sounds absurd. But something as simple as that will damn millions, because they want to wear their own righteousness rather than that which Jesus provided. Get the festal robe today!

HUMOR: CRAZY THINGS CAN HAPPEN AT A WEDDING 1. “How did the wedding go?” asked the pastor’s wife. “Fine, dear, until I asked the bride whether she would ‘Love, honor, and OBEY her husband.’” “She looked at me and said, ‘Do you think I’m ...read more

    Every Christian is expected to wear the righteousness of Christ as a garment if one would enter into the kingdom of heaven.

    I would like to bring to your attention that the parable of the wedding feast as read in Matthew 22:1-14 implies that there is a wedding feast / party awaiting all those who accept Jesus Christ as their lord and savior and there is a strict dress code for the feast, otherwise the master does not ...read more
