    Don't Excuse Yourself From God's Banquet Of Salvation

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Nov 19, 2003
    based on 68 ratings

    In the parable of the great banquet Jesus gives us a graphic warning about excusing ourselves from God’s feast of salvation in time and in eternity.

    “Are you looking for just the right excuse for a certain situation? Ask your pastor he has heard them all.” Although more of joke than advice there is some truth to it. Pastors do hear a lot of excuses. But I think it would be more correct to say that only God has truly heard all the excuses ...read more

    The Bible is so vast ... we can’t possibly memorize it all. Let’s not use this as an excuse for not living righteous lives. Jesus gives us ONE VERSE as a guide to live by.

    “Jesus Teaches About Priorities” Matthew 6:33 INTRODUCTION: We CONTINUE in our SERIES on “Lessons Jesus Taught”. We have seen what Jesus taught about: the Holy Spirit, Prayer, the Tongue, Thanksgiving, Repentance. This morning, we will see what Jesus teaches about “Priorities”. Everybody needs a ...read more

    There are many excuses to not following Jesus, the ones who follow must have NO EXCUSES.

    NO EXCUSES 2/7/99 I. Excuses (Lk. 14:15-24) A. Unnaturalness of the refusal. 1. There is a kind of law to which the more valuable a thing is, the less men care to have it. “The attraction of an object is the inverse ratio of its worth.” a.

    Why did Jesus heal the man with Dropsy? Was it merely a man who happened to be there at the banquet, or was there something more?

    OPEN: A teacher at a privately run church school wanted to point out to her children how they should behave when they were at church. So she started out by asking the children what kind of rules that their parents might give before taking them to a nice restaurant. One second-grader excitedly ...read more

     | 19,336 views

    When God blesses you, He has chosen to favor you. But for what? It is for this: God blesses you that you will be a blessing to others! His blessing is about you, but it’s not about you. It’s about others that you have the privilege of blessing!

    "It’s Not About You" Author: Dr. Neal Gray Passage: Luke 14:12-24 Purpose: When God blesses you, He has chosen to favor you. But for what?

    This is about making excuses.

    Have you ever noticed that everyone has an excuse? Take this story for example. Nine GI’s were late for morning roll call. The first didn’t arrive until 7 PM. The Commanding Officer confronted him and yelled, “Where have you been, soldier?” The soldier explained. He said, “Sir, I had a date ...read more

    We all give excuses. but when we give one to God, He knows the truth. An excuse is a reason not to do something. If you do that with God then any excuse will do!

    Any Excuse will do! Luke 14:16-14:24 This morning we are going to talk about excuses. We all have made them. Some excuses are better than others. Some are more valid than others and some are just plain lame. I have heard that some girls when asked out on a date, and they did not want to ...read more

    Luke 14:7-35 (ESV) Introduction A. One of the delights of pastoring this church is the fact that few of us are considered to have come from the best part of society.

     | 5,198 views

    God’s invitation to the Great Feast (God’s kingdom) is free but it is costly as it demands that we put Jesus above all else.

    We continue this second week of our 40 day journey through Lent as we walk with Jesus to the cross. Last week I reminded us of the scripture passage from Luke 9:51 which said “When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.” Jesus, knowing full well what would ...read more

    There are many excuses we can offer for not accepting the invitation to come to the banquet which God has prepared, but none of our excuses are valid because Jesus deals with them all.

    Friends in the Lord, One thing you can guarantee when you have Jesus over to your place for dinner is that the table conversation will always be very interesting. Which is exactly what is happening in our text. But the teachings of Jesus aren’t recorded just because they are “interesting”. The ...read more
