Title: The Great Banquet (8)
Series: Meals with Jesus

Text: Luke 14:15-24
- What is your biggest regret?
ILLUS. - I heard actor Matt Damon say in an interview that he was offered the lead role in the first Avatar movie. The creator of the film offered him 10% of box office gross. Damon turned it down. - Ultimately it is estimated he would have made approx. $280 million off the film. He may regret that!
- What is your biggest regret? Maybe it's not something you missed out on, maybe it's a mistake you made, a sin, a foolish act. Maybe it's a bad investment. Maybe it's something you said.
- Everyone has regrets. - But there is one regret you don't want to have. It's way worse than missing out a lot of money. - It's the regret of missing out on the Kingdom of God.
- Missing out on the Kingdom of God ...
- You can think you are in ... and be out. You can expect to be in, and find out you are not. You can be so preoccupied with the things of this world that you miss the Kingdom.
- Jesus is at a meal at a ruler of the Pharisees house.
- He healed a man on the Sabbath.
- He told a parable addressing the guests and then one addressing the host.
- Jesus addresses the host with a parable. - He confronts him about the guest list. - He tells him instead of inviting people who can repay you ... invite the ones who can't.
- Jesus points out ... repayment comes at the resurrection of the just. - We need to live with an eternal perspective. Next someone will respond to these parables ... and Jesus gives another.
Luke 14:15-24 - 15 When one of those who reclined at table with him heard these things, he said to him, "Blessed is everyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!" 16 But he said to him, "A man once gave a great banquet and invited many. 17 And at the time for the banquet he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, 'Come, for everything is now ready.' 18 But they all alike began to make ...
