The Kingdom is Not Like This

As we look at The Parable of the Great Banquet, we see that Jesus was using the parable as a critique of the values of the society in his day. Jesus looked at what was going on among God's own people, and said through this story, "The kingdom is not like this." As we examine this parable, we'll ask four questions:

What does this teach us about God and his kingdom?
What does this teach us about the people who are part of God's kingdom?
What does this teach us about the people who are not part of God's kingdom?
How can we reflect this kingdom glimpse?
