Series: At the Table

Book: Luke

Campus: Riverview

Scripture: Luke 14

Your Invite Could Change Someone’s Life Pastor Jim’s message hits on something real: one invite can literally transform a person’s life. In Luke 14, Jesus tells a story about a banquet where the invited guests made excuses (work, stuff, relationships) to skip out. The host then invited everyone else—the overlooked, the forgotten, the ones society pushed aside. The takeaway? Everyone’s invited to God’s table, and we’re meant to be the ones extending those invitations. Pastor Jim challenges us to invest in relationships and invite others in—just like the couple who changed his life after his parents divorced, or how Corey’s simple BBQ led to Chris finding hope despite cancer.
