The Parable of the Great Banquet | The Stories That Read Us | Pastor Joel Schulz

Invitations go out in the mail. E-vite reminders begin to fill people’s inboxes. Follow up text messages, phone calls, and personal messengers even go out to make sure you know, “You are invited!” It’s going to be the banquet of a lifetime. A feast. A party. The venue is first-rate. The food and drink is five-star. There is no fee to attend, no cover charge to get in the door. Surely everyone who's invited is going to want to be there, right? After all, what could be better? But Jesus has an unsettling surprise to share with us in the Parable of the Great Banquet. You don't want to miss out.
