The banquet was ready—but the original guests missed it.

In this episode, we confront a dangerous assumption many men make: that past faithfulness guarantees future participation. Jesus shows us that calling does not equal endurance, and proximity does not replace obedience.

Those first invited didn’t rebel—they delayed. And while they hesitated, the invitation went out to anyone willing to respond. God’s mission moved forward, and the seats were filled.

This message is a wake-up call for men who’ve grown comfortable, familiar, or casual with God’s call. The danger isn’t rejection—it’s postponement.

The banquet will be full.
 The only question is whether we will still be there.

Reflection Question:
Where have you relied on past obedience instead of present surrender?

Challenge:
Obey the last clear instruction God gave you—today. No delay. No negotiation.

Prayer:
“Lord, keep my heart alert and responsive. Help me endure to the end and treat Your call with urgency. Amen.”
