2024-11-17: The King’s Invitation: Responding with Gratitude - Rev. Dr. Wade Allen

As we explore Matthew 22:1-14, we examine the parable of the wedding banquet, illustrating the Kingdom of Heaven through God's open invitation to all, both good and bad. While many initially reject the invitation, the king (representing God) invites everyone to fill the banquet. However, one guest is expelled for not wearing the provided wedding clothes, symbolizing the necessity of genuine transformation and repentance. The sermon highlights gratitude as the appropriate response to God's grace, emphasizing that while all are welcome, acceptance into His Kingdom requires embracing His ways.

2024-09-22: Trusting God's Timing - Rev. Dr. Wade Allen

The sermon begins with a story about a boy who trusts a shop owner’s larger hands to give him candy, illustrating trust in a greater power. It then discusses Joseph in Genesis 40, who, while in prison, interprets the dreams of Pharaoh’s cupbearer and baker through God’s guidance, not human wisdom. Despite his accurate interpretations, Joseph remains in prison as the cupbearer forgets him, emphasizing the need to wait on God's timing. The message encourages trusting in God’s perfect timing and greater plan, even when immediate outcomes aren't visible.
