    We need correction in the high chair not the electric chair! Where are the footprints of parents leading their children? We teach temporal lessons seldom eternal.

    One of the most beautiful stories of the Scriptures is that of the prodigal son, the younger son who left home, got into deep difficulty, wasted his life in riotous living, and ended up in the pigpen.

    Illustrations for Biblical Preaching Prodigal Son One of the most beautiful stories of the Scriptures is that of the prodigal son, the younger son who left home, got into deep difficulty, wasted his life in riotous living, and ended up in the pigpen.

    God's Forever Family

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Apr 25, 2025
     | 444 views

    One of the greatest gifts God gives us is 
the invitation to belong — not just to Him, but to a family — His family.

    God’s Forever Family Introduction Erma Bombeck is one of my favorite authors. Her newspaper column called At Wit’s End was full of humor and wisdom. She wrote books like “If Life is a Bowl of Cherries, What am I doing in the Pits?” and “The Grass is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank”. In one of ...read more

    Planning Wisely, Living Humbly

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Jan 1, 2026
     | 185 views

    We plan responsibly, but we submit these plans to God willingly. When they change—when doors close, when timelines shift, instead of living in despair we can trust that God causes all things to work together for good.

    How can we prepare our lives for the future when we don’t know what the future holds? Well we know that God has created life with rhythms we can normally count on. The world keeps spinning on its axis. The sun rises and sets. Gravity holds us to the earth. We breathe without thinking. Seasons come ...read more

    The parable of the great banquet is a picture of the invitation God extends to us to come to His eternal banquet of salvation–some accept and others refuse this great invitation.

    Excuses: The Skin of a Reason Stuffed with a Lie Luke 14:12-24 by David O. Dykes INTRODUCTION There is a difference between a reason and an excuse. There are times when we may have a legitimate reason for what we do or don’t do. An excuse is actually the skin of a reason stuffed with a lie. In ...read more

    The Wedding Banquet: Invitation, Ingratitude, And Indiscretion, Part 2

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 20, 2023
     | 1,269 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. The Wedding Banquet is ...read more

    A Reception To Remember

     | 2,059 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.

    This Sabbath situation was a trap set up by Jesus’ enemies.

    THE LORD INVITES EVERY ONE TO EAT AT HIS TABLE 10-14-06 Our text is found in Lk.14:16-24 but in order to see what’s taking place lets read verses 1-6 first.

    The Parable Of The Wedding

    Contributed by Keith Butler on Aug 4, 2005

     | 4,746 views

    In discussing this parable, we will see it is more important to be clothed with Christ, than it is to be just a part of the banquet.

    THE PARABLE OF THE WEDDING Matthew 22:1-14 Key Verse and Theme: “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ For many are invited, but few are chosen.” (Matthew 22:13-14) 1.

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

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 20, 2023
     | 1,478 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

    We are chosen to: come to Him; to be linving stones in His Holy Temple; to offer sacrifices of worship. we have become His special people; a holy nation; with a specific purpose, to declare the praises of God. The invitation is given; will you come?

    Have you been invited? Have you accepted the invitation? (1 Peter 2.4-12) I remember sending out invitations for our wedding, how difficult it was to cut people out. We had a budget, we couldn’t afford to have everyone we loved there, we had to pick a few. How wonderful it is to be invited. ...read more
