Matthew 22:1-14 (pt.1)

<p>In Matthew 22, Jesus continues confronting a dangerous assumption: that proximity to the things of God guarantees a place in His kingdom.</p><p><br></p><p>The religious leaders trusted in their heritage, their position, and their identity as God’s chosen people. But Jesus tells a parable about a king who prepares a wedding feast, only to have those originally invited refuse to come.</p><p><br></p><p>So the invitation is extended beyond them to people on the highways, outsiders who never expected to receive it.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, Pastor Mike begins teaching through Matthew 22:1–14 and shows us why entrance into God’s kingdom is not based on nationality, background, or religious privilege, but on our response to the invitation God has graciously given.</p>
