Discussion
Starters
- What
was the most amazing celebration event you have ever personally attended? What
made it special?
- Why
does Jesus compare the Kingdom of God to a wedding feast? How often does our
life's experience actually feel like a celebration more than a funeral?
- How do we miss out on the joy
of the Kingdom of God?
- The parable depicts people as being apathetic, distracted, and even
hostile to the invitation to come to the banquet. Do people still react this
was to God's invitation? Do you personally? Why?
- Why did the one man who did
not wear wedding clothes get thrown out of the event? What does that mean for
you and I?
- How do we
get people to engage fully in the Kingdom of God experience?
- How wide was the invitation
to come to the banquet? How wide do we have to make our invitation to come to
God's banquet experienced at First Baptist?
- What has been our experience of the Kingdom of God?
How can we improve it?
- How do you define joy? Is joy still present during difficult
times?
- How de we
present the invitation to others to come to the banquet?
