Main Focus: Jesus Is Salvation

Parable of the Great Banquet

(Luke 14:12-24)

Anticipate: Foam Feast

In Jesus’ time an invitation to a banquet was a highly honored event. In the parable of the great banquet, Jesus uses a banquet setting to teach truths about His offer of salvation.

Memory Verse: 

"This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him."--1 John 4:9

It means nothing to receive an invitation if one refuses to attend the event.  Jesus’ parable of the great banquet is a story of a master’s generosity, a people’s rejection, and an invitation extended to those typically forgotten. God offers the blessings of His kingdom to all people, if they would simply receive the truth that Jesus is salvation.

Respond: You Are Invited

Bless: 

Acts 4:12:

“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

May our children call on the name of Jesus with confidence and faith. May they receive and accept His invitation to be in relationship with Him. May they have hope for their future knowing Jesus is salvation.  May they extend God's invitation to those around them.
