Pastor Glenn Packiam includes in this message a special word to men about reframing our notions of strength in light of this good father.

In Matthew 22, Jesus compares God's Kingdom to a king who throws a party to celebrate his son's wedding. This sounds like our kind of king and our kind of party. The story certainly opens that way. But it takes an unsettling turn as a guest is thrown out for not wearing the proper clothes. In this sermon, Pastor Jason Jackson explains this parable and challenges us to receive our invitation to God's kingdom on God's terms.

There's a kind of unfairness when you don't get what you're owed; but there's another kind of unfairness when someone receives something they didn't earn. Preaching from Matthew 20, Pastor Glenn Packiam helps us to see how the Kingdom looks like work not leisure, and how purpose has to be received not made up. But ultimately, this parable challenges us with God's extravagant generosity, which is better than our notions of justice.
