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?
