Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station on today's edition of Pathway to Victory.

Heaven is not going to be like one long, boring, never-ending church service.

Instead, Jesus taught that heaven more than anything could be described as a party.

A big blowout party to which everyone is invited, but only a few of the most unlikely guests are actually going to attend.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

When most people think about heaven, they might picture an idyllic city floating on clouds with angels lazily plucking at harps.

Sounds boring, doesn't it? Well, today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress opens to the parable of the wedding party.

The parable of the wedding banquet to show us what God's kingdom is really like.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message. Dr. Jeffress?

David, while the eyes of the world are focused on rising inflation, the conflict in Eastern Europe, and the cultural chaos inside our own country.

I've chosen to spend the entire month of June looking vertically towards heaven rather than horizontally towards man.

Our current teaching series is focused solely on Jesus, and in particular, the favorite stories he told.

To complement this series, I wrote a helpful brochure for you in which I've identified 17 of Jesus parables.

In this colorful, multifolded resource, I explained what Jesus was teaching and why his stories are relevant to your life today.

This complimentary pamphlet is called The Parables of Jesus, and it's my gift to you simply by going to ptv.org.

Plus, I've written a new, fully illustrated children's book designed to entertain and inspire the child in your life with the timeless lessons from Jesus.

My new book is called Jesus' Favorite Stories for Kids.

Jesus Christ is the only hope for our nation and our world, and it's our duty as parents and grandparents to ignite this flame of hope in the hearts of the children we love.

And when you give a generous gift to support the ministry of Pathway to Victory, be sure to request your copy of Jesus' Favorite Stories for Kids.

Let me add that Pathway to Victory is the grateful recipient of a matching challenge in the amount of $500,000.

Because of this matching challenge, every gift you give has two times the impact.

I'll say more about these opportunities a bit later, but right now, let's turn our attention to Matthew chapter 22, where we find another favorite story from Jesus.
