20th Sunday after Pentecost

This Sunday, Pastor Amanda spoke on God's grace as an invitation freely given to all, and having been welcomed to Christ's table, we are called to extend that same welcome to others.

Reflection Questions:

1. What stands out to you most in the parable of the wedding banquet?

2. How does seeing the repeated invitations as God reaching out through the prophets change your understanding of this parable?

3. What does it mean to you that the invitation eventually goes out to everyone?

4. The sermon describes the wedding garment as God's grace freely given to all. How does that image speak to you?

5. The sermon asks, "What do we choose to do with that invitation?" How would you answer that question today?

Prayer:

God of grace, you have invited us to your feast and gathered us into your love. Help us to live as your people, sharing your welcome with all. In Jesus' name. Amen.
