Matthew 22:1-14 (pt.1)

In Matthew 22, Jesus continues confronting a dangerous assumption: that proximity to the things of God guarantees a place in His kingdom.The religious leaders trusted in their heritage, their position, and their identity as God’s chosen people. But Jesus tells a parable about a king who prepares a wedding feast, only to have those originally invited refuse to come.So the invitation is extended beyond them to people on the highways, outsiders who never expected to receive it.In this episode, Pastor Mike begins teaching through Matthew 22:1–14 and shows us why entrance into God’s kingdom is not based on nationality, background, or religious privilege, but on our response to the invitation God has graciously given.
