0041 - You're Not Gonna Miss the Party, Are You? - Luke 14:15-24

In Luke 14:15-25, Jesus offers a sharp warning to people who you'd think be the most likely to be a part of God's eternal kingdom ... to the very people you'd think were certainly gonna be there... to the people who were self-assured that they'd be there. A warning that ought to get our attention if we are "church people": you're not gonna miss the party, are you? It's also a parable that illustrates our need to read the Bible in its context so we can hear what it's actually saying.
