today on Summit Life with J.D. Greer. 2. Peter 3.9. The Lord is not willing that any should perish,

but that all should come to repentance. We sit around talking about finding God's will for our

lives. It's not lost. God intends to use you to bring other people to Jesus. You don't need a call,

a special, mystical call. You have the call. The Lord is not willing that any should perish,

but that all should come to repentance. You don't need a voice, we say, because you've got a

verse.

Welcome back to Summit Life with Pastor J.D. Greer. As always, I'm your host, Molly Vitovich.

Let's start the program a little more introspectively today, shall we? Do you ever wonder sometimes

if anything about your life really matters? Like, am I making any sort of real difference in the world?

Well, if that's you, you've come to the right place today.

Pastor Jady is continuing our teaching series called Come to the Table, and we'll see how Jesus

used the occasion of a banquet, a party, to teach people about his kingdom and our significant

role in it. Now, we just began this short series, so if you miss the beginning, you can always

So grab your Bible and let's jump in.

Luke 14, if you have your Bible this weekend, and I hope that you do, if you will open it to Luke 14, we are in Luke 14 in our second week in a series that we are calling,

Come to the Table, in which we are seeing how Jesus used the occasion of a banquet, a meal, a party, to teach people about his kingdom.

Here is something that many of you will be excited to know that you may not know.

Meals were central to the life and the ministry of Jesus, especially in Luke's gospel.

One scholar points out that I was looking at that at just about every point in Luke's gospel,

Jesus is either coming from a meal, he's at a meal, or he is going to a meal.
