    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Apr 12, 2022

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

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

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 20, 2023
     | 1,326 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

    It is because we’re only human that we can come into God’s presence only under Jesus’ sponsorship, and clothed in his grace.

    I got an offer last week that I almost didn’t refuse. It was from a travel company who, in return for my coming to a one-hour pitch for their company, would give me 4 free days and nights in any one of dozens of different destinations, and if I came between Tuesday and Thursday they’d double the ...read more

    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

    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
