to verse 1 through 6 in the new living translation of the scripture.

Notice these words, Jesus also told them other parables.

He said the kingdom of heaven can be illustrated by the story of a king

who prepared a great wedding feast for his son.

And when the banquet was ready, he sent his servants to

notify those who were invited, but they all refused to come. So he sent other servants to tell

them, the feast has been prepared. The bulls and fat and cattle have been killed and everything is ready. Come to the banquet.

But the guests he invited, he had invited, ignored them and went their own way, one to his farm,

another to his business. Others seized his messengers and insulted them and killed them. We're talking

today simply from the subject, checkmate. Checkmate. You may be seated. I'm so glad that you're

here. I'm so glad that you're tuning in today. It's amazing how God and his infinite wisdom and his incredible mercy and love for us prepare

so much for us to be able to have an entrance to the great feast that He has prepared

for each of us.

Just because He loves us and we love him we love him because he first

loved us so really it is our way of just love responding to love that's what worship is worship is

love responding to love as we proscuneo that word that means to kiss towards God and we just we just love

him not just because everything in our life is going hunker dory you have to understand that

God was worthy to be praised before you had trouble.

He's worthy to be praised while you've got trouble.

And he's still worthy to be praised after he has delivered you and brought you out of the trouble.

There's a great power in being able to praise God and thank God. This is why the scripture says, in everything,

give thanks. In everything, in every situation. You may not be in the best situation right now,
