Luke 14A - Compell them to come in.

Pastor Grant

Jesus turned the Pharisees' trap into powerful teaching about humility, hospitality, and discipleship. When religious leaders tried to catch Him healing on the Sabbath, He exposed their legalistic hearts with simple wisdom. Through parables about choosing seats and hosting feasts, Jesus taught that true humility leads to exaltation and genuine hospitality serves those who cannot repay. He challenged crowds following Him to count the cost of discipleship, explaining that following Him requires wholehearted commitment where God takes absolute priority over everything else. The invitation to God's eternal feast remains open, but it demands a response without excuses.
