OUTLINEScripture: Luke 14:1-14Text: Luke 14:10-11Sermon: Public Banquet, Public Scrutiny

Introduction

Public banquets

The banquet story of Luke 14

Jesus put under scrutiny

Jesus turns the tables

Is it lawful to heal on Sunday?

Jesus teaches the importance of a servant’s heart!

Our public banquet as an opportunity for self-scrutiny

Not looking for the faults of others  

            An invitation to view ourselves in the gracious presence of Jesus            

            Extending the invitation to others in open hospitality
