As we continue our Honest Conversations this week, we will shift our focus to Jesus’s parable of the great banquet. In this simple story of a man who invited the poor and lame to his banquet after the invited guests backed out, we will hear important instructions on how to offer hospitality and welcome to others.
As Jesus reminds us, those who are considered unimportant or invisible today are the very ones who will be welcomed into God’s Great Banquet in the kingdom to come. We will learn more about Jesus’s instructions on being a good host, and we’ll explore how this parable connects to our Land of Plenty journey, where we imagine a ministry that includes “the least of these.” We look forward to worshipping with you. Hope you will join us, in person on online!
