Sermon text: Luke 14:15-24
Jesus' approach always surprises me. Picture that I am telling someone about an awesome party that Jesus is throwing. And I say, this will be a great party, after all this is the guy that turns water into wine. And I say, blessed are those folks that get to go to his house and party with Jesus. And Jesus is there and he hears my excitement.
But instead of responding directly or even acknowledging what I just said, he simply starts telling a story.
