Primary Scripture: Luke 14:15-24
In Episode 7 of the Parables series, Pastor Rodney explores the Parable of the Great Banquet from Luke 14. He begins by connecting it to Jesus’ previous teaching about the "narrow door" and the cost of salvation. Rodney highlights the irony of the guests’ excuses—prioritizing land, livestock, and marriage over a divine invitation—and draws modern parallels to how everyday distractions can lead us to reject God.
He emphasizes the host’s reaction: expanding the invitation to the "unlikely"—the poor and broken—and compelling them to enter so the house is full. The message serves as both a testament to expansive grace and a warning against complacency, urging listeners to actively respond to God’s call while there is still room at the table.
