Episode Synopsis

Wrapping up this series we’re diving into one of the most overlooked parables—the Parable of the Great Banquet in Luke 14. In my opinion, it should be at the top of the list.Jesus tells a story where the invitation goes out to everyone—the outcasts, the overlooked, the unexpected—because His desire is that His house would be full. That invitation still stands today. And guess who it comes through? Us.Let’s be honest: most of us aren’t great at inviting people to Jesus. We have our reasons. So do the people in this parable. But Jesus doesn’t let any of those excuses stand. This week, we’re going to confront both:The excuses people give for not coming to Jesus. The excuses we give for not inviting them.Here’s the challenge: What if church wasn’t just for me—but for who I bring?That’s the question we’re asking. And here's the reality I can't shake:I don’t belong at the great banquet. But Jesus says I do. And so do the people we’re not inviting yet.
