Tell Me A Story - Matthew 22:1-14 | The Wedding Banquet - Darren Larson

This week at Imprint Church in Woodinville we studied Matthew 11:1-14, the Parable of the Wedding Banquet. Join us every Sunday for Christian church service. www.imprintchur...
The parables basic lessons are clear. The king issued a gracious invitation to people he wished to view as friends. They rejected the invitation. Their rejection sparked judgment from the king and caused him to extend the invitation even further to anyone who would come. But though the gates were thrown wide open, those actually chosen were limited by specific criteria - the clothing they chose to wear - the righteousness of Christ being lived through them.
At the end of the day, there seems to be just one way of making the king happy. Come to the party, and come on the king's own terms. It may sound harsh, but it's His Kingdom, and He is king.
Are you living life simply thinking that the gospel is great and you simply agree that it's true? There is another step. You need to take the time to ask God how to bring it to bear on every part of your life.
