Who’s Invited? Jesus’ Radical Guest List

Sermon on Luke 14:7-14

Today is the Fourth Sunday in Lent

We encourage you to join in for worship at Bethany this weekend either in person or

through our livestream. 


For an additional devotional reflection, we invite you to watch this reflection from Pastor Gary from a Sunday in Lent last year.

Who belongs at God’s table? In this powerful sermon on Luke 14:7-14, Pastor Gary explores Jesus’ radical vision of hospitality and grace. At a dinner party, Jesus challenges social norms, critiquing who gets invited and reminding us that God’s Kingdom flips human expectations upside down. How do the labels we carry affect how we see ourselves and others? What does it mean that God invites us, despite our faults? How can we become people of radical invitation and inclusion? This sermon reminds us that no one is excluded from God’s love—especially those who feel like they don’t belong.

When cynicism feels like realism, Jesus keeps opening the door to resurrection hope.
