Everyone wants the best seat at the table—but in Luke 14, Jesus turns our ideas of honor and status upside down. He warns against pride that seeks recognition and calls us to humility that trusts the Host to lift us up. Even more, he shows us that our place at God’s banquet isn’t earned but graciously given. This week’s sermon invites us to trade self-promotion for Christ’s invitation.
