Broadcast<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Feast - Part 2\n Luke 14:7-9\n 10\/14\/2025\n\n 7 Now he told a parable to those who were invited,\n when he noticed how they chose the places of\n honor, saying to them,\n 8 ``When you are invited by someone to a wedding\n feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest\n someone more distinguished than you be invited by\n him,\n 9 and he who invited you both will come and say to\n you, Give your place to this person, and then you\n will begin with shame to take the lowest place.''\n (ESV)\n\n Jesus was invited to a Sabbath dinner at the home of a ruler\n of the Pharisees.\n Now he told a parable to those who were invited, when\n he noticed how they chose the places of honor, saying\n to them, ``When you are invited by someone to a wedding\n feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest\n someone more distinguished than you be invited by him,\n and he who invited you both will come and say to you,\n `Give your place to this person,' and then you will\n begin with shame to take the lowest place.''\n\n\n Why would someone presume to be deserving of a place of\n honor when invited to a banquet? At the root of all sin is the\n desire to be like God, to replace God, to be honored by one and\n all. Pride and arrogance are evidence of a sinful nature.\n\n Is this parable realistic? Consider the person who comes\n into your house as a guest but ignores the rules and standards of\n the household. They put their feet on the coffee table, they\n light a cigar even though you ask them not to smoke, they make\n demands to be served without offering to help. Will you invite\n them back?\n\n Consider someone who comes into the church building as a\n guest. When they demand to be served the Lord's Supper when they\n are not members of the church, when they demand the pastor or\n priest ignore doctrine and practice, are they not being just as\n arrogant?\n\n The host of the banquet, the host of a guest, the pastor or\n priest who is responsible for the proper teaching and practice in\n the church do not take delight in asking the guest to abide by\n the rules. They are looking for the best interest of all\n concerned.\n\n May our Lord grant us humility in our dealings with others.\n Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"October 14, 2025 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2025"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3898"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3898\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3899,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3898\/revisions\/3899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
