About this episode

Pastor Abbie Thomas discusses Jesus' metaphor of the Kingdom of God as a banquet where everyone is invited.

In this message, Pastor Abbie Thomas explores one of Jesus' most powerful metaphors for the Kingdom of God—a banquet where everyone is invited. Through Luke 14:12–24, we see how Jesus calls His followers not to pressure or persuade, but simply to extend the invitation. As we learn from the host, the servants, and the guests in the story, we're reminded that the Kingdom is about a seat at Jesus' table—and there is still room.
