Pericope: Luke 14:15–24 15 When one of those at the table with

him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the one who will eat

at the feast in the kingdom of God.”

16 Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet

and invited many guests. 17 At the time of the banquet he sent his

servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything

is now ready.’

18 “But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have

just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’

19 “Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on

my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20 “Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’

21 “The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then

the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant,

‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in

the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’

22 “‘Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but

there is still room.’

23 “Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and

country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will

be full. 24 I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a

taste of my banquet.’”

Sermon Text: Luke 14: 23 – 24 Then the master told his servant,

‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come

in, so that my house will be full. 24 I tell you, not one of those who

were invited will get a taste of my banquet.’”

Sermon Title: Full House

Point 1: The Invitation Was Issued – But Ignored

Come, for everything is now ready.” But they all alike began to

make excuses...” (vv.17–18) 17 At the time of the banquet he sent

his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for

everything is now ready.’ 18 “But they all alike began to make

excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go

and see it. Please excuse me.’

Point 2: The Interruptions Were Intentional (v.21. “The servant

came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the

house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into

the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the

crippled, the blind and the lame.’)

Point 3: The Instructions Were Urgent  (v.21–22) - 21 “The

servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the

owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go

out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the

poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’

22 “‘Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but

there is still room.’

“Go out quickly into the streets and alleys…”

Point 4. The Invasion Was Relentless (v.23) “Go out to the

highways and hedges…”

Greek: “Anagkazō” – to strongly urge, to compel.

Point 5. The Intention Was Always a Full House

(v.23–24) “...So that my house will be full.”

Life Application:

You weren’t just invited to the table—you were sent to fill it.

Ask yourself:

1. Who’s still outside?

2. Who’s in the alley of addiction?

3. Who’s in the street of sorrow?

4. Who’s in the hedges of hurt?

5. Go get them.
