After Further Review Week 1
After Further Review is a series where we will examine Jesus’ most famous sermon and evaluate our own responses along the way. We often find ourselves moving through life with priorities out of order, direction blurred, and assumptions about how life should turn out. Jesus was the master at challenging his disciples to live with a fresh start and a new focus. The Sermon on the Mount stands as a message that is countercultural to the world–a message where losing becomes our gain, weakness becomes our strength, love becomes our currency, and people become our investment. As followers of Jesus, how are we each doing in these areas? Think about the journey of faith like a football game…how many times would a referee look at our lives and throw out a yellow flag?

This scripture shares a parable about a king throwing a grand banquet for his son and that many are invited but don't show up. Scripture says believers are to pursue others in sharing about God's love for them, as well as invite them into fellowship with God's family. Often times the message of God's love may seem to fall on deaf ears, but there is always hope.
