Sermon – October 6, 2019

Christians around the world are celebrating with us today in the Sacrament of Holy Communion.
In telling the parable of the Great Banquet, Jesus is telling the people at the Pharisee’s house that God’s Kingdom is bigger than they ever thought. God’s Kingdom would include people they would never have accepted. God’s Kingdom would include the poor, the outcast, the Gentiles. Jesus is telling the people at the Pharisee’s house if they reject salvation through God’s Messiah, then they will have no part in the Great Banquet of God.
