Once more Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying:

“The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son.

He sent his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding banquet, but they would not come.”

Matthew 22:1–3

We continue in the season of parables from Jesus on Sunday.

This parable, which Jesus uses to illustrate the nature of the kingdom of heaven, involves a king throwing a wedding banquet for his son.

The metaphor of the wedding banquet was often connected with the heavenly image of salvation.

God throws a great dinner for all to enjoy, but what if people do not want to attend?

God continues to invite us and there is spot reserved just for you!

Join us Sunday as we consider God’s invitation to us.
