Jim unpacks Jesus' story of the wedding feast in Matthew 22 to talk about the 4 possible responses we humans have to the amazing invitation of God to enter in to his kingdom! While encouraging & hope-filled, Jesus words are also filled with caution to those who might be tempted to take God’s grace for granted!
