Amen.

Hello, and welcome to Amen podcast. I'm Look Ilani, your host, and I'm joined by my husband Alex, who is preaching from Matthew chapter 22 verses 1 through 10. This is part one of the parable of the wedding feast. I will read the verses for you. Alex will share his message

and then we'll circle back around for a question and answer time at the end. Let's read.

And again, Jesus spoke to them in parables saying, the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king

who gave a wedding feast for his son and sent his servants to call those

who were invited to the feast, but they would not come. Again, he sent other servants saying,

Tell those who are invited. See, I have prepared ate my dinner, my oxen, and my fat calves

have been slaughtered, and everything is ready.

Come to the wedding feast, but they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another

to his business, while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.

The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.

Then he said to his servants, the wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy.

Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.

And those servants went out into the roads and gathered all whom they found,

both bad and good.

So the wedding hall was filled with guests.

Amen.

Thanks for joining us, guys.
