An Invitation*  Click here Click title to view sermon Reading: Matthew 22: 1–14
Summary: God is gracious. God is just. We often emphasize the first and ignore the latter. This parable includes both grace and justice. The good news is that God’s grace is offered to all. We do a disservice to God and to God’s grace if we believe there are not consequences for rejecting that same grace.

Two Parables for the Price of One  Click here Click title to view sermon Reading: Matthew 22: 1–14
Summary: 

In one parable, Jesus told of a king’s invitation to his son’s wedding banquet being ignored, with some of the king’s messengers being killed. Those guilty of the crime and their city are destroyed, and other messengers are sent to bring anyone they can find to the banquet. In a second parable, the king finds that one of those brought in doesn’t have a wedding garment. A living faith in Christ, with the good works that a living faith produces, is the festive garment that the king gives the wedding guests. We should wear it as well.
