Book of the Bible: Luke 14

Hospitality and God’s Grace

Hospitality and God’s Grace

The Gospels include many accounts of Jesus’ eating with others. In Luke chapter 14, Jesus tells a parable of a feast. What is it in his teaching that contradicts everything we know about modern hospitality? Just what kind of hospitality is Jesus calling us to do? What was so shocking regarding the invited guests in Jesus’ parable? The text and sermon unwrap the inner ring, the open home, and the pauper’s feast.

Discover the deeper message in the parable of the Prodigal Son

In The Prodigal God, Tim Keller examines the way Jesus presents the parable to speak both to those who run from God and to those who try to earn his love by being good. It reveals the heart of the gospel—a message of hope for both the rebellious younger brother and the judgmental older brother, and an invitation for all to experience God’s grace.
