Feast of Grace: Lessons from Luke 14Description: In "Feast of Grace: Lessons from Luke 14," we dive deep into one of Jesus' most profound teachings, exploring themes of humility, hospitality, and the cost of discipleship. This episode unpacks the significance of choosing the lowly seat, extending grace to the unworthy, and counting the true cost of following Christ. We'll reflect on the Parable of the Great Banquet, where the invitation to God's kingdom is open to all—especially the overlooked and marginalized. Discover how this parable challenges us to widen our circles of love and compassion, making room for those often left out. Finally, we examine the call to discipleship, emphasizing the importance of wholehearted devotion and the willingness to carry our cross.Join us as we explore how Luke 14 offers a radical, life-changing invitation to live with humility, grace, and unwavering commitment to Christ.Luke 14Parable of the BanquetHumilityHospitalityDiscipleshipChristian LivingFollowing ChristBiblical LessonsGrace and MercyKingdom of GodJesus' TeachingsFaith-and-ObedienceBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/christian-talk--5139976/support.
Pastor Jeff Watts teaching on Luke 14:12-24.
Have you ever been invited to a celebration, one so joyous and special that you couldn't wait to attend? You were eagerly prepared, knowing that the host's invitation came from the heart and that the event would be unforgettable. In today's parable, Jesus compares the Kingdom of God to a great banquet—a feast offered freely and generously to all. Yet, what makes this story so compelling and challenging is how people respond to the invitation. Some dismiss it with excuses, believing they have better things to do. Others, unexpected and unlikely guests, end up filling the banquet hall.
This week our focus is on the picture of the Kingdom of God being like a great banquet, to which all are invited to come and share at his table.

Luke 14:15-23
Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 2/2/25 by Pastor Steve Shields. Listen as Pastor Steve goes through the passage Luke 14:1-22 on the great banquet. Have you ever seen people who say "I wanna be somebody"? It's often without regard for the needs of others. It's often without regard for the fleeting nature of respect from people. It's often without regard for eternity or for eternal outcomes. How do we overcome hindrances to being somebody - in God's eyes? Examine your thinking to ensure you are trusting in Christ and Christ alone. Remember your commitment. Reaffirm your priorities. You can be somebody - you are somebody if you're trusting Christ. You have been invited to the table. Have you RSVPed? Have a heart ready for the banquet.

In this episode, Dr. John reflects on the Parable of the Great Banquet from Luke 14:12-24. Jesus challenges the idea of entitlement, showing that those who feel they deserve the best in life may miss out on the greatest invitation of all—the invitation to God's kingdom. The parable emphasizes that the invitation to the heavenly banquet is extended to those who might be overlooked in this world: the poor, the lame, the blind. Jesus warns that those who reject the invitation, consumed by earthly distractions, will miss out on eternal blessings. Dr. John encourages us to examine our own hearts and respond to God's invitation with humility and faith.The Invitation: Invitations are usually a joy to receive. Birthdays, anniversaries, a coffee with a friend. Whether they are printed on embossed stationary or sent via a text, an invitation means that our presence is desired. In this 10-message series, Dr. John continues his study of Luke's gospel. In it, we hear Jesus' repeated invitation "to come." God desires our presence.
Jesus comes on the scene and looks to help everyone to see the world differently. The religious leaders of the day were off track and Jesus shares this parable to help them see how they view the people around them. Listen in as we here more about this fascinating story. thebridgebluffton.com
In this mesage, Pastor Aaron sahres Jesus parable on the man who invited many for a great feast.
Jesus was a master storyteller. Through the use of parables, He could reveal His true nature and communicate important spiritual truths. The stories His followers recorded hold our attention, stir our emotions, and help us remember His teachings. The most popular are recognized by those outside the faith (e.g., the Good Samaritan) and the teachings they contain continue to challenge Jesus's followers today. In Storyteller, we will look at some of the lesser-known parables to uncover what Jesus was telling His first followers about the Kingdom of God that we are still trying to understand today.Pastor Chuck Schlie and Ryan Pfendler joined Jill Devine this week to talk about the lesser known parables they preached on during our Storyteller series; The Narrow Door, Workers In The Vineyard, and The Great Banquet.Normal Goes A Long Way Website: https://www.normalgoesalongway.com/Normal Goes A Long Way Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/normalgoesalongway/Normal Goes A Long Way Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Normal-Goes-A-Long-Way-110089491250735Normal Goes A Long Way is brought to you by Messiah St. Charles: https://messiahstcharles.org/Seeking The Still: https://seekingthestill.com/Two Kids and A Career: https://www.jilldevine.com/podcastNormal Goes A Long Way is hosted on Zencastr.

In this episode, Tim and Steve explore two versions of the same parable: the Parable of the Great Banquet (Luke 14:15-24) and the Parable of the Wedding Feast (Matthew 22:1-14). Through these powerful stories, they unpack Jesus' teachings on the Kingdom of God, the nature of God's invitation, and the urgency of responding with joy and humility. They discuss the profound spiritual lessons behind the excuses made by the invited guests and how these parables challenge our priorities, warn against distraction, and offer a deep invitation to joy in the Kingdom.Join us as we dive into these parables and discover the surprising, radical inclusiveness of God's love and His call to each of us.
The Parable of the Great Banquet from Luke 14, where Jesus tells a powerful story about a man who prepares a great feast and invites many, yet receives nothing but excuses in return. We'll unpack the key lessons from this parable: how we are called to extend God's invitation to all, expect rejection from some, but respond with urgency to reach those who are willing. Discover the depth of God's grace and the importance of sharing His message with a world in need of hope and salvation!
This is Part 3 of "Heart for the House," our series at Fusion Christian Church on growing and maintaining a heart that is passionate about God's people, the church. In this part, Pastor Zac tells us what it takes to have a heart for the house. Through Jesus' parable of the Great Banquet, we learn how to stop making excuses and bring others to the party.A Heart for the House Makes No ExcusesThe first lesson we pull from the parable is that many people make excuses which get in the way of their heart for the house. Here are some excuses we see from people in the parable:"I've got too many things going on." Some people have made many commitments, prioritizing them over the needs of God's house. Ask yourself if you have made too many commitments and let them get in the way of serving God and your church family."I'm too busy with work." Often, we let work dominate our lives. While it is important to ensure that your family is provided for, don't let your work fill your life too full. Leave room for yourself to do God's work too."I've got too many family commitments." Family is important, but if we are to best serve our families, we must maintain godly priorities. Further, training your family in the importance of serving the Lord is essential to their spiritual growth. "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." -Joshua 24:15.A Heart for the House Never Comes AloneThe second lesson we pull from the parable is that God's servants don't come to the banquet alone. It is our responsibility and our duty to invite others, bringing them with us into the house of God. As the parable says, we must go out into the countryside and bring in anyone we can find so that God's house will be full. It is God's ardent desire that his house be filled, and he has tasked us with that mission. Let us invite everyone we can so that we complete the command God has given us!

Jesus captivates with powerful lessons on humility, generosity, and the cost of discipleship. He heals a man with dropsy on the Sabbath, challenging the Pharisees' strict rules. At a banquet, He advises choosing the lowest place and encourages inviting the poor and marginalized, promising heavenly rewards. Through the Parable of the Great Banquet, Jesus shows how the rejected are welcomed in God's kingdom. He concludes with a compelling call for total commitment, urging followers to prioritize Him above all else. The Rev. Benjamin Meyer, pastor of Hope Lutheran Church in Condit, OH, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Luke 14. The Gospel of Luke, filled with rich narratives and detailed accounts, offers an inspired and historical perspective on the life and teachings of Jesus. Emphasizing Jesus' concern for the poor, outcasts, and social justice, this Gospel narrates parables and miracles that underscore the theme of God's salvation for all people. Luke's account is unique in its inclusion of the birth of John the Baptist, the parable of the Good Samaritan, and the story of the Prodigal Son, culminating in a vivid portrayal of Jesus' death and resurrection, affirming the universal offer of redemption. This Gospel serves as an invitation to understand the depth of God's love and the breadth of His grace extended to humanity through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
Luke 14v1-24 Jesus uses a dinner invitation as an opportunity to teach about humility and the way we view others. The Kingdom of God is like a great banquet that all are invited to. Will we be there? And who are we bringing with us? Taught by Ryan Doucet
