A Kingdom Invitation

In this message, Pastor Keith explains how Jesus came and displayed the power of His Kingdom and taught the posture of compassion, humility, hospitality, and responsibility. Jesus attended a dinner party with prestigious religious leaders and he displayed his power and compassion by healing a man on there. Because it was a Sabbath day it bothered the religious community. Then Jesus used the occasion to teach a lesson about humility and one on hospitality. After that, a man made the comment “Blessed is everyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!”V15. In response to this Jesus addressed the assumption that one could make it into God's Kingdom automatically based on his ethnicity, heritage or religious activities. Jesus taught a lesson on responsibility. Every person is responsible for accepting the invitation to receive Christ as their King and every Christian is also responsible for getting the invitations out.
