    This sermon gives us an understanding of the good things God has prepared for us and shows us why people miss out on some of the blessings God has prepared for them.

    God has many good thoughts for us (Jeremiah 29:11). This means God thinks about doing good things to us and giving us good things. His good thoughts for us are evident in the things He has prepared for us. In the Word of God, we discover the good things God wants to give us; we get enlightened as ...read more

    The Lord has sent out a wedding invitation. He won't say, "If unable to attend, we ask your presence in thought and prayer.” If we are unable to attend the marriage of the Lamb, God will say, “If unable to attend, you’re out of luck!”

    This evening’s message is entitled “The Wedding Invitation.” We’re going to learn tonight how the Lord delivers a wedding invitation to each and every person in the world, and that He expects our attendance. A traditional wedding invitation might conclude by saying, “If you are unable to attend, ...read more

     | 3,877 views

    Heaven is not seriously discussed by most thinking people because the facts about it are so sketchy or dubious that most think it's unknowable or uninteresting. But in reality, the Bible tells us it's greatest party and the most interesting life of all!

    THE 7 MYTHS ABOUT HEAVEN Matt. 22:2-14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A Michigan couple decided to go to Florida during an icy winter. The husband was to fly down first and the wife to follow the next day. The husband checked into the hotel and sent an email to his wife. Unfortunately he sent it to ...read more

    Host Or Guest? Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Apr 12, 2022
     | 1,927 views

    This parable revolves around three categories of people, the host, the servants, and the Guests. Invited guests neglected and paid no attention to it. This parable conveys the divine call, divine clemency, and divine condemnation.

    Text: Matthew 22:1-14 Theme: Host or Guest? Greetings: The Lord is good. ‘Many are invited but few are chosen.’ (Matthew 22:14). Synopsis of the Parable: The word parable comes from the Greek word ‘parabole,’ which means “a placing beside”. It has a real-life or real-life situation from which ...read more

    At the wedding rehearsal, the bride told the priest that she was nervous that she would not remember what to do during the wedding.

    A Reception To Remember

     | 1,806 views

    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! Last Sunday I substituted at Fairlawn Lutheran for Pastor Gau because his son was married on Saturday, and today I am with you as Pastor Tritten celebrates marriage for his son. Congratulations to both families – and, to you and your family ...read more

    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

    The Most Important Invitation

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 21, 2023
     | 1,316 views

    Jesus, in the Parable of the Wedding Feast, gives us what is for us the most important invitation we will ever receive, to come to the feast. The invitation is for Eternal Joy, yet many make excuses not to attend. Join us this week as we look at the most important invitation.

    There are parables, like the Shrewd Manager, which are confusing without cultural background, and the Prodigal Son, which has many different applications. Today we have what I think is Jesus most complete and clear parable, and I hope to walk thru it and actually not surprise you at all. This ...read more

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

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 20, 2023
     | 1,324 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
