In Luke 22, everyone heard the same story, saw the same Savior, and witnessed the same events—yet many still failed to recognize who Jesus truly was. The religious leaders saw a threat; Judas saw an opportunity; Peter saw his own strength; and the disciples argued over greatness. In this message, we'll discover how easy it is to be close to Jesus and still miss the story He is writing. Don't settle for knowing about Jesus when you can know Him personally. Don't miss the story—and don't miss His glory.

Every person has received God’s invitation through Jesus Christ—but not everyone responds. In the parable of the Great Banquet (Luke 14:15–24), Jesus exposes the excuses that keep people from experiencing the joy, forgiveness, and eternal life He freely offers. Good things like careers, family, possessions, and even religion can become barriers when they take Christ’s rightful place. Join us as we discover why the invitation is open, why excuses are so dangerous, and why there is still room at the King’s table for all who will come.
