What Kind Of Excuse Do You Have??

WHAT KIND OF EXCUSE DO YOU HAVE?

LUKE 14:16 – 24

Inside this parable I could go on all night

But I probably better not!!

First of all we should plainly see that the man giving

This big supper is God

And the slave He sent out to bring people in

Was No doubt Jesus!!!

But here we see that everyone has an excuse

As to why they can’t come!!

They think they’re all good reasons But

I’m gonna prove by scripture that there’s

Not ONE GOOD EXCUSE HERE

That they can make and there’s none for

You either tonight!!!

Nor is there any for those that ain’t here!

This Man is sending out His slave out into the

Streets and into the lanes of this city!

And we should understand that in the streets

there are only other Jews

God hadn’t gave up on the Jews then and

He hasn’t given up on them today AMEN?

SO WHAT happened when the slave went

Out and invited everyone in that He could?

THERE’S STILL MORE ROOM!!!!!

Its amazing to me what excuses people make

For not coming to Christ!!

Some people are too busy to bother

Some are to clever to come

Some are too religious to repent

Some are too worldly to want Jesus in their life

Some are too proud to pray

BUT THE LORD JESUS ONCE FOCUSSED

ON THIS PROBLEM!

He told this story of three kinds of men

Three kind with their empty reasons

For not coming, even with an invitation

And with a sure hand He drew them a picture

A picture of the consequences that’s gonna come

With denying Jesus Christ’s invitation!

THEY REJECTED HIS INVITATION

OH WELL

THEY’RE GONNA GET REJECTED TOO

BUT NOT WITH ANY LAME EXCUSE

LIKE THEY HAD!!!

What I’m saying here tonight people is

You better not be making any excuse’s because

There’s plenty of room here in the church house.

That old saying says there’s always room for

One more!!!!!

And in today’s church there’s room for plenty

There’s always room for one more in Heaven too

And for those of you who refuse the invitation

There’s plenty of room in that terrible place

Called hell tonight as well AMEN!!

God was angry here because he invited his

Chosen people to come to His dinner

And they all made excuse after excuse after excuse

Our parable only teaches us of three excuses

But I’d say that there were many more than that

We make excuses today just like the people made

Back in Jesus’ day

But listen to me people one of these days the

Excuses are gonna run out!!!

Your gonna find yourself wishin that you’d

Never made an excuse!

When your cast into that place of outer darkness

Where the worm dieth not and the fire is

Not quenched!!!

Jesus said I will build MY CHURCH!!

People nobody said there was gonna be a

Perfect Christian and there ain’t gonna be no

Perfect Churches either!

Nor will there be any perfect Pastors or

Evangelists or Deacons or Sunday School Teachers

Nor will there be a perfect congregation!!

People you’re invited tonight to accept Salvation

And This is the call of God!!!

God is calling his Church to Repentance!

Romans 1:16 says

I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ

For it is the power of God unto Salvation

To every one that believeth

To the Jew first and also to the Greek

This is telling me that Salvation is for the Jew First But also for anyone else who will believe!

Salvation came through the father of the Jews

Father Abraham

The Jews were the care takers of the word of God

And they were to have the first opportunity to

Be saved but they added to the law

And cut it down to be tradition

PROVERBS CHAPTER 9 SAYS:

She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled

Her wine she hath also furnished her table

She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth

Upon the highest places of the city

Whoso is simple let him turn in hither as for him

That wanteth understanding she saith to him

Come eat of my bread, and drink of the wine

Which I have mingled!

Back in this day the people had rejected God

And they were doing just what they

Wanted to do!!!

Does this remind you of anything that’s

Happening today???

This old world has turned its back on God

People He is worth of our Praise and worship

How can people say they don’t believe in God

Just look around us at all the beauties

GOD IS REAL TONIGHT FOLKS!!!

BUT I WONDER JUST HOW LONG HE’S

GONNA KEEP ON LETTING US SLIDE!!

WITH THE ABORTIONS, AND HOMO’S

AND THE LESBIANS, AND ADULTERERS

AND FORNICATORS AND THE MURDERERS
