LESSONS WE CAN LEARN WHEN INVITING PEOPLE TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD

.

Watch Our Excuses (vv 18-20)

• Guests prioritized possessions over invitation to be with God

“What kind of excuses are we making?” – Minister Bria Price

Our excuses are likely keeping others from the Kingdom of God.

.

Say Yes to the Invitation (vv 14-21; 23)

• When accepting the invitation you can learn how to grow in your relationship with God
• Be open to seeing through the eyes of others who are different from us
• See the ability of others

.

Go and Get More (v23)

• Go to places you wouldn’t normally go and make invitations

“You never know what is behind your invitation.” – Minister Bria Price

Are you playing the role of the servant or the ones that did not honor their invitation?

“There has to be transformation after the invitation.” – Minister Bria Price

Talk about the exceptionalities; Name them.

.

The Masters Heart

• The master made room for more when the original invitees declined to come
• The master showed compassion

God’s invitation is not just for a select few; it’s for everyone.

“We got some adjusting to do.” – Minister Bria Price
