Our God is a God who invites. He is a God who calls. He is a God who stands at the door and knocks, and if anyone would open it, he would come in. And his invitation is not just for a meal, it is for life, abundant life, eternal life. It is an invitation to come into his kingdom and take up residence in a tearless, graveless, painless world. But we have to respond.

Scripture reading: Luke 14:7-24
