The Great Banquet | The Scandalous Kingdom

In Rinus preaching, God’s heart is revealed through a story that overturns every expectation. In Luke 14:15–24, Jesus paints a picture of a banquet lavish, joyful, overflowing with abundance prepared long before the guests ever knew they were invited. But the shock of the story isn’t the feast itself. It’s the guest list.Those who were expected to come refuse the invitation. They’re distracted, preoccupied, convinced they have better things to do. And so the host does something outrageous. He widens the invitation. He sends his servants into the streets, the alleys, the forgotten corners of the city. He gathers the poor, the broken, the overlooked, the ones who never imagined they’d be welcomed to a king’s table.
