Story about a guy who threw a party and no one came. Context, Saturday lunch at elite religious leader's home, being told between bites. Retelling, Lyndee and Kyla's big party. People declining on Facebook event and texting excuses. Just married, yippee!!! Inviting the soup kitchen lineup and the people at the hospital and old folks home. Packing out the mansion and swimming pool. It was the best party ever. Who is Yeshua? Not like Edward Mike Davis, owner and CEO of Tiger Oil Company. Hilarious grumpy memos. What does this story tell us about the good news of Yeshua? The greatest party ever. Contrast with sour grumpy faced religious people. Yeshua loves people and wants a full house! It's possible to reject the invitation and miss the party. The challenge of being Yeshua's disciple. Safety versus risk. Story about Yeshua scolding the rich man who invited him to his party. Story about the shepherd leaving the ninety nine other sheep to look for the one lost sheep. Challenge to break out of the box and reach out to people not like you, jailbreak the religious ghetto.
