144: Luke 14 | Humility, Invitations, and the Cost of Following Jesus: Lessons from Luke 14

Discussion Points:

1. The Parable of the Wedding Feast 🎉

   • Humility in Action: Why is it better to take the lowest seat and let God elevate us?
   • Pride vs. Worth: Explore how pride often stems from insecurity and how understanding our worth in God transforms us.
   • Practical Reflection: Where in your life can you “take the heat” and let God defend your worth?

2. Invite the Outcast 💌

   • Jesus challenges societal norms by urging us to elevate the poor, crippled, and lame.
   • Who in your life is spiritually “poor, crippled, or lame” and needs an invitation to the kingdom feast?
   • Practical challenge: Invite someone to your Christmas celebrations or to church this season.

3. The Great Banquet 🍽️

   • No More Excuses: Those who were invited but declined represent people who prioritize worldly concerns over God’s invitation.
   • Open Invitation: Jesus’ message is for everyone, but we must respond. Who in your circle might be longing for an invitation to belong?

4. The Cost of Discipleship ✝️

   • Jesus uses hyperbole to stress the importance of prioritizing Him above all else—even family and self.
   • Following Christ is costly, but it’s in surrendering everything that we find true life.
   • Reflection: What might you need to give up to fully embrace the upside-down kingdom of God?
