665 The Kingdom Is a Party

Friday, December 19th: What is the Kingdom of God really like?Jesus often answered that question with stories—parables about seeds, yeast, treasure, pearls, and unexpected guests at a wedding feast. In this episode of The Daily Grind, we lean into one of the most unforgettable modern parables of the Kingdom through a story told by Tony Campolo.At 3:30 in the morning, in a greasy diner filled with prostitutes, a simple birthday celebration becomes a living picture of grace. A woman who has never had a party in her life is honored, seen, and loved—and in that moment, the Kingdom of God quietly breaks in.This episode invites us to reconsider how we imagine God’s Kingdom, what kind of church Jesus came to create, and whether we’re willing to celebrate grace where we least expect it. The Kingdom of God isn’t a gated community—it’s a feast. And everyone is invited.Grace and peace to you in the name of our risen King, Jesus.⁠⁠Email me your questions, comments, and suggestions.
