Compel Them To Come

Jun 15, 2025    Pastor Keinon Washington

In this spiritually enriching session, we are called to recognize the urgency of the call to action in our spiritual journey. The key lesson here is the call to 'compel them to come,' which encompasses our responsibility to actively draw others to Christ's table, emphasizing that the invitation is still open but the window is narrowing. The central scripture from Luke 14:23 underscores this message, reminding us of the parable of the great banquet, where the unprepared and distracted invitees missed their opportunity to partake in God's kingdom. We see a poignant symbolism in our modern distractions, paralleling the excuses of those who rejected the initial invitation. This message urges us not to be casual or complacent in our faith but instead to live with the visible evidence of Christ's presence in us, compelling those around us to know Him. In our faith journey, it prompts us to examine our priorities and the urgency with which we share the gospel, making it clear that our spiritual lives should make it hard for others to ignore Jesus.
