0:00 At IDMC Movement, we believe that the heart of the church lies in intentional disciple making. We are calling churches globally to return to their disciple making roots, to intentionally walk this journey of0:12 faith transforming hearts and lives. Let's walk this journey together and discover what it truly means to live out Christ's Great Commission and build a legacy of faith that impacts families,0:24 communities, and nations. This is The Call, a journey of intentional discipleship. Today, we continue the message from last time, diving0:36 deeper into God's word. Jesus, and to all that the kingdom is placing upon you. Or have you become a person who is giving excuses in this season? Listen to me carefully. You0:48 and I have a personal invitation, but in that personal invitation, we need to respond personally. If you're a pre believer watching this, can I humbly say this? Jesus Christ loves1:00 you. He died for you. He loves you. He has made the way for you to come back into the kingdom of God, to become a child of God. But you have to receive Him personally. Your grandfather could have been a Christian.1:12 Your parents may be even a pastor or an elder in the church. But if you have not personally placed your faith in Christ, if you have not personally responded to the call of the kingdom, you will not be in the great1:24 grand feast in the end times. Listen to me carefully. We have to respond personally. The third thing I want you to capture is this oppressing stipulation. Look at1:36 this. So the servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house became angry and said to his servant, Go out quickly to the streets and the lanes of the city and bring in the poor, the
1:47 crippled, the blind and lame. I want you to pause and ask yourself this question. The people who were invited refused to come. So rather than the king getting
1:59 insulted and rejected, of course, was offended, he was angry, But the Bible says he acted in a gracious manner. He turned to his servant and said, Go into the
2:10 city and bring the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame. I want you to listen to me carefully. This is the gospel. Jesus came to His own, the Bible says. Jesus was born in a
2:22 Jewish family, in a Jewish heritage, and He was a Jewish Messiah. But the Bible says the Jews rejected Him. And when the Jews rejected Him, the gospel that they rejected
2:34 has now been proclaimed among the Gentiles. That's why an Indian man today can be in the kingdom of God. Hallelujah. That's why a pagan person can come into the kingdom of God. A Gentile can come into
2:46 the kingdom of God. The reason is because they rejected the invitation has been extended to us. Praise God. Hallelujah. But the Bible says here something. He says, Go
2:58 into the city and bring in the poor. Do you know, if you're rich, it's very hard to enter into the kingdom of God. Why? It's not just that you have much possession, but the much possession
3:10 is possessing you. In other words, your heart is already full of the material things. Your heart is already full. You have no love for God, no love for the things of God, and you're distracted. You're attached to the
3:22 things of this world. As a result, the Bible says, you will reject the call of God. But if you're poor in the spirit, you're poverty stricken, you're blind, you're lame, you're crippled,
3:33 what happens? You need help. That's why Jesus said, I have come not for the healthy, but for the sick. Only the sick need the physician. That's why you
3:45 and I, we need to take our place to recognize the poverty of our own soul, that we need Christ. We need Him. We need Him to be our savior. We need to respond to the call of the kingdom of God. Hallelujah. And
3:57 that's a beautiful passage that we read here. So go into the city. Then he says, the servant came back in verse 22, Sir, what you commanded has been done, and there is still more room. I
4:09 love it. The kingdom of God has more room. I want you to listen to me carefully. This is how the master responds. Go out to the
4:21 highways and hedges and compel people to come in that my house may be filled. Hallelujah. Now he says, go beyond. First he said, go out into the city. Now he
4:32 says, go beyond into the countryside. Now what you do? Go to the highways and the hedges and compel people to come. See, who are the poor, the lame, the blind, and the crippled? These
4:44 are people who can't come into the temple. They are Jewish people who can't come into the temple. But the hedges and the highways, these are people who are the Gentiles. So, he commands the
4:56 servants to go beyond beyond their comfort zone and say, Invite them. Now, this would have been a sight to behold. Remember, Jesus is speaking this in the house of a very
5:08 wealthy, prominent citizen, a Pharisee. And a Pharisee has invited his friends to come into the table. All his friends. So they all look like him, walk like him, talk like him. They all
5:20 have degrees like him. And they all have network like him. And they use this occasion to network with people and do business and trade, it benefits them. Because if I invite you,
5:33 you will reciprocate it 1 day. But the Bible says here Jesus in this context, He's saying to them, don't just invite people who look like you, invite people who are beyond.
5:45 In other words, these are people whom with whom you have nothing in common. You may not even benefit from them financially, economically, but you go after them and you reach out to them. That's why in this context, he
5:57 actually says to the host of the party. Look at this in verse 12, he says to the host of the party, he says, when you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends. In Luke chapter
6:09 14 and verse 12, when you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return and you
6:21 be repaid. But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, for you'll be blessed because they cannot repay you, for you'll be repaid at the resurrection of the just. Listen carefully.
6:33 He says, don't just invite your family, your friends, your rich neighbors. Why? Because if you invite them, they will in turn invite you and therefore there's a law of reciprocity. What you do, they will also
6:45 do and it will just be self benefit. But go after the people who cannot give you anything. And if you do it to them, you're doing it to the Lord. And 1 day the Lord will
6:56 repay you for that. I want you to listen to me carefully. He's speaking this to the host of the party. And he's giving this example. And he
7:08 says, Who do you invite? Now, Jesus is not saying, Don't have meals with your family members or your rich neighbors or your people who are your friends. He's not saying that. But
7:20 what he's saying is, you should not limit your association, your dinner table invitation, only to people like you, your family, your friends, and your rich neighbors. You have to extend it to the people
7:31 who are marginalized in society. The poor, the blind, the lame, the crippled. Now, why is this so important? The reason it is important is because Jesus says,
7:43 your social life, who you hang out with, is a display to the world that you are part of the kingdom. You know what they accused Jesus of? Jesus will always eat with sinners.
7:55 Jesus always ate meals with tax collectors. I want you to listen to me. If you are part of the kingdom of God, then you humble yourself. There is a transformation of heart that
8:07 has happened in your life. So you're not thinking about economic cost or how you will be reciprocated and how you will be paid back. You're not thinking about the cost. Instead, you bring people who do not benefit you in
8:19 this earthly life, but still you reach them with the love of Jesus and you invest in them. And the Bible says, you will be repaid. Twice it repeats, you will be repaid at the
8:30 resurrection of the just. Hallelujah. So let's come back to this. God is now saying, go into the city, bring the poor, go into the highways and
8:41 compel them to come. I want to look at this and ask ourselves 2 questions. 1, who are you inviting to the table? Who are you inviting? If you
8:53 if you're hosting a guest list, if you're hosting a feast, who would you invite? Who benefits by being with you? Can I humbly say this? There are people who need to hear the gospel.
9:06 There are people who need to know the love of Jesus. There are people who are poor among us. The poor could be a widow with not much in her life. It could be a young mom who is struggling to make ends
9:17 meet, or struggling with how to raise the 3 children or 4 children that she has. Or it could be the person who is old and lonely in this situation. It could be a person who
9:29 you have nothing in common with, but they are in your neighborhood. And what God is saying to you and me is, who are you inviting? Who are you touching? See, I want you to listen to me carefully.
9:41 We are not only the invited guests, but I believe we are also the servants in this parable. He's commanding to us. If you are part of the kingdom of God, and the King is hosting an
9:53 ultimate feast, you and I have the privilege to bring people into that ultimate feast. You go out and call them to come to that ultimate feast. But how would they come to the ultimate feast? If you don't invite them to
10:04 your own feast first. This is where you and I, we need to understand. You know, was reading a book, was deeply convicted after reading this book. This book is titled The Gospel Comes with a
10:16 House Key. Gospel Comes with a House Key. The author of the book, it's a pastor's wife, she shares her own story. She says she was a lesbian, a practicing
10:28 committed lesbian, who was also an English literature professor in a university. And she wanted
10:41 to observe how the evangelical Christians behave. And she has written a paper on the lesbian community, and that paper is consideredit's a research
10:52 paper, and even today, it's quoted in the journals. Now, she would receive letters from people who hate the way of life, and then there are people who love the way of her
11:04 life. Now, she says 1 of the letters that came in the mail was from a man by the name of Ken Smith. Ken Smith was a pastor of a small church in New
11:16 York. And this man consistently wrote to her and asked her to come to his house for a meal. Now, this is what happened. Cut the long story short, She accepted the invitation
11:28 because she couldn't place this man's letter in the pile of hate letters or love letters. She couldn't place it. So 1 day, she took it upon herself to visit this man and have a meal with his family. And what
11:40 was a 1 invitation became an invitation over 2 years. Every Sunday night, she would have a meal with this family. They are committed Christians who shared the love of Jesus with her.
11:52 In the process, she was healed, she was delivered, she repented of her sin, she came to became a Christ follower, and today she's married to a pastor. And this is why wrote
12:05 this book. She says, believers do not understand the power of the gospel, and believers do not understand the vehicle that God uses to minister to the masses, to minister to the
12:16 poor, the lame, the crippled, and the blind. You know what? God uses your home to be a haven, to be a hospital. Gospel comes with a house key. The moment you open your home and you
12:28 invite people, not invite people who can reciprocate and who can repay you, but the people who are poor in the spirit, people who are dead in this trespasses and their sins,
12:40 you bring them into the into your house and share a meal together. God uses that meal because God is the ultimate host and the Holy Spirit becomes the teacher and he works in their heart. And when you share the
12:52 gospel story, the story appeals to them and God brings them into the saving grace of Jesus Christ. You and I are called to open our homes.
13:05 You know, over the years, I've heard so many excuses from believers who don't want to open their home. Oh, Pastor, my home is a very small house. Or I live in a very small
13:17 apartment. Can I humbly say this? There are people with nothing in their life. Open that, see how God will use that and transform that home
13:29 to be a vessel of blessing. Over the years, have said, No, I bought brand new furnitures. These are very expensive. I don't want people to come and spoil it. Oh, I have all these ornaments in this house. I don't want
13:41 any children here. They'll run around, break it. Oh, I don't I don't My house is not clean. It's very messy. I don't want people to come and see. People are not there to be impressed by
13:52 you. People are not there to to come, and it's not a performance. I want you to listen to me. When you open the house and you invite people, you're inviting God to work in their life
14:04 because He's the 1 who ultimately invites them. He's the 1 who says to you, Go and bring people. Bring them. Compel them to come. When you walk in that street, knock on the doors and make friends with your neighbors and
14:15 you call them for a barbecue, what you're saying is, I want you to come because that will give me an opportunity to display the love of Jesus. 1 day, in the course of time, God will touch their heart
14:27 and He will bring them to salvation. You become the vehicle. But is your home open? Or is your home only open for the rich neighbors or the people like you, the friends and the families that
14:39 you love to hang out with? And that means we are so close to the gospel. Listen to me carefully. The Bible says here beautifully, The pressing stipulation is this,
14:52 that you and I need to respond to the call of God. You and I, we need to respond to that personal invitation that has come. If you don't respond to the personal invitation, look at this in verse 24. Verse 24
15:03 says, None of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet. So don't assume just because I said a sinner's prayer. Don't just assume just because I went to church as a child that you will end up being in the
15:15 banquet. No, you won't. Just because your father was the 1 who built the church or your grandparents were the ones who donated the land to build the church. Listen carefully, whatever it is, you have to make a personal
15:26 decision to follow Christ. Otherwise, you'll be surprised you won't make it. But I want to also speak to all the disciples in this house. You are a disciple
15:38 maker, which means you are a missionary. You are on mission. God has placed you in the neighborhoods that He has placed you for a purpose. He moved you from country for a purpose. He moved you into a suburb for a
15:50 purpose. He moved you into that street for a purpose. Knock on the doors, make friends, and this is the key. Sometimes we think evangelism is something where we need to preach the 4 laws or we need to know how
16:02 to articulate the gospel. We need to know how to do this drawing. I want you to listen to me carefully. Evangelism is defined like this. It is 1 beggar telling another beggar where to find
16:13 food. 1 beggar telling another beggar where to eat bread, where to find bread. That's all it is. Evangelism is ordinary people doing ordinary things
16:25 with gospel intentionality. When you open your home with gospel intentionality, when you open your home and invite people to sit around your table, it's gospel intentionality. When you invite your neighbor and say,
16:37 Come, let's have a meal together. And you share your testimony, it's with gospel intentionality. Why? Because you're allowing room for the Lord to do the work in their heart. Hallelujah.
16:49 Listen to me carefully. This is the call of the kingdom. You and I are saying the servants here. You and I are the servants here. And the servants are commanded
17:01 2 things in this text. 2 things. 1, we are commanded to go out. Secondly, we're commanded to compel them to come. We're commanded to go and bring them. We are
17:13 compelling them to come. At the same time, we're commanded to go out. We are not only commanded to go out, we are also commanded to go beyond. Go beyond. Go beyond what you
17:25 have been so far. You know, we are just coming out of a lockdown. And many of us have apprehensions about opening our home and doing things because of this COVID pandemic that is looming over. But can I
17:36 humbly say this? God is sovereign, God is good, God is wise, God is in control. He has a plan and a purpose to advance His kingdom and bring people into the eternal kingdom, even in this season. I'm so grateful
17:48 that our church is doing an Alpha campaign. 71 pre believing friends came to our life group meeting recently. And that's your work where you invited them boldly. And God is
18:00 doing the work because out of that 71, many of them are now in alpha groups. They're studying what it means to give their life to Jesus. I want you to listen to me carefully. You and I have
18:12 a precious opportunity. This is the season, now is the time. Understand the sense of urgency because everything is ready. And Jesus is coming again to bring us into that eternal kingdom
18:24 to have that feast where God is our host. Hallelujah. So can I bring it down to really simple application for us? The simple application is, can we
18:36 be an incarnational church? What does that mean, pastor? Let's not be an institutional church where people need to come to church for them to experience God. Let's be an
18:47 incarnational church where we bring God to them. We just like Jesus came to the world, lived among us to show us what God is like. Let's go into the community, into our neighborhoods,
18:59 into our workplaces, into our schools and universities, and let's be incarnational. Show them the love of God. Invite people, be radical in showing love like Jesus did. Have meals with
19:10 sinners, have meals with people who are poor, blind, and lame. People who can't repay you in this earthly lifetime. But as you invest these things intentionally, I want you to listen to me carefully.
19:22 God does the miraculous. He brings them in. Hallelujah. So in closing, let me give you an application. CTTC. Say that with me. CTTC. What does it mean? It comes straight from this text.
19:34 Compel them to come. How do you do that? You keep inviting them. You keep inviting them. Keep knocking on the doors of their heart. Keep inviting, having those meals. And during the time, this is what I want
19:46 you to do, carry them to Christ. Carry them to Christ. In other words, in prayer, labor in prayer for them. Lord, open their heart, open their eyes, give me a divine appointment to sow the seed of the gospel. Meet their
19:58 needs, but at the same time, believe and trust that God will give you an open door into their heart. Hallelujah. And thirdly, connect them to community. Be intentional in bringing them into the family of God. Let them
20:09 experience and taste the goodness of the family. I want you to listen to me. This is what he is calling us to. So in the Bible, this is what we are commanded to
20:20 do. In closing, let me say this. There's a big difference between hospitality and fellowship. Fellowship is what we do with church members, with believers, with saints. We gather around the table,
20:32 we fellowship, we sing praises to God, we talk about the testimonies, we give him glory, and we encourage 1 another in our faith. It is important we do fellowship. But you know, the Bible also commands we do hospitality.
20:44 Hospitality is we open the doors and welcome strangers. And the Bible says if you open the doors and welcome strangers, sometimes you unaware you would actually be hosting angels. And the Bible actually says
20:56 in Peter, in first Peter, it actually says, Do show hospitality without any grumbling. Do it with all your heart. So in this season, can I humbly ask you,
21:07 open your home for a life group? Open your home for an outreach. Open your home and have an Alpha group. Open your home. Let your home be a vessel, a vehicle that God can
21:19 use to touch the neighborhood. Let it become a hospital or a haven for people around. Let them come to your feast and ultimately walk into the King's feast. Hallelujah. Open your heart and
21:31 open your home. And by this, we will be part of that eternal kingdom. And we look forward to being in the Messianic feast. Hallelujah.
21:43 Shall we look to the Lord in prayer? You know, I'm truly thankful to the Lord for His goodness, His grace upon the church. Now, even in this moment, I'm not sure
21:55 who I'm speaking to, but God is speaking to you very clearly. Maybe you're 1 of those person who is giving an excuse, and you have been putting away the call of the kingdom. Maybe it is
22:07 because there is a relationship in your life that is distracting you from the purposes of God. It could be a child. It could be something that God gave you as a blessing, a career, an open door,
22:19 a business opportunity, even a promotion, a job. But that can become an excuse. Or it could be just material possessions. Oh, I was able to buy this house. I was able to move here. I was able
22:31 to do that. But none of this should distract us from pursuing wholeheartedly the King Jesus and the kingdom mission. So, put away those excuses
22:43 and come back to Him. Maybe in your heart, you're saying, I don't I'm not worthy. I'm not worthy to come to the feast. The moment you acknowledge you are unworthy, it makes you worthy.
22:54 You know why? Because Jesus came for the poor. He came for the blind. He came for the crippled. And He came for you and me. Those who are poor in the spirit will receive Him gladly.
23:07 I want you to listen to me carefully. You qualify. Come, receive that invitation. But this invitation is free. You need to receive it. But this invitation
23:19 costs God everything. It costs Jesus his whole life. Jesus lived a sinless and perfect life in obedience to the Word of God and to the will of the
23:31 Father. But He took your place and my place and He died for us. The Bible says He died the death that we deserved. The wrath of God came upon Jesus. So when you
23:42 believe in Jesus, you are forgiven, and you are now accepted in the family of God, and you have a seat at the table on the last day.
23:55 Listen to me carefully. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to respond to the invitation of the gospel in the same manner. I want to also speak to every person who is
24:07 already saved. This is a time for us to be passionate about kingdom pursuits. There are people who are lost. There are people who are dying without
24:18 hearing the gospel. There are people who are waiting, they are struggling in their loneliness and in their mental agony. You and I need to open the doors of our home. Open the doors of our
24:30 heart. Open our wallet wide. Invest in these families. Invest in these lives. Bring people into the table. Let there be good
24:42 food, let there be great company, but let there be gospel intentionality. And see how God miraculously works through those Feasts, And He brings them into
24:54 the King's feast. God bless you. Let's look to the Lord in prayer. Heavenly Father, we thank you so much for this day. Thank you for giving us a heart.
25:05 Thank you for giving us a message from your heart. Lord, it is your heart's desire that none should perish, but all should come to the saving knowledge of Jesus. Lord, we know that
25:17 you're coming again soon to bring us into the eternal kingdom. And we are looking forward to that Messianic feast, the marriage supper of the lamb, where God will be the ultimate host, and he
25:29 will throw a grand feast. And everyone is invited. Help us, Lord, to keep calling people to come into the saving knowledge of Jesus and to be part of that eternal feast.
25:41 Lord, grant us grace. I pray that you open the eyes of our understanding, open our hearts to the people, to the cry in our city, the cry in our neighborhood, the loneliness that is
25:53 plaguing people, the mental health issues that's plaguing the people, the financial woes that are plaguing the people. Give us a heart to reach out to the people who are not like us, the
26:05 poor, the blind, the lame, and the crippled. Lord, give us the heart, a bigger heart, a heart that is filled with the love of Jesus for the city, for the neighborhood that we are in. And
26:17 Lord, give us grace and divine opportunities and divine appointments that we will share the gospel, and we will display what the King is like. And we will display what the
26:28 kingdom lifestyle is like. And Lord, I pray in the name of Jesus that we'll put away all the excuses and we will respond in time. Because we know that the time is near. We give you all the glory, the praise and the
26:40 honor in Jesus precious name. And the people of God said, Amen and Amen. At IDMC Movement, we believe in the great commission to make disciples
26:52 of all nations, bringing the hope and truth of Jesus Christ to the world. Through our global outreach, we have the incredible opportunity to share the gospel in homes across the
27:04 globe and journey with people toward authentic discipleship. Throughout scripture, we see how the early church came together, giving generously to ensure the ministry of
27:16 the gospel could continue. Today, you have the opportunity to partner with us in this same mission. Your financial support is more than just a contribution. It's a way to join God's
27:28 work, bringing the light of Christ to places where your presence may never reach, but where your giving can. As Paul reminds us in Philippians chapter 4 and verse 17, not that I seek the
27:39 gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit. By partnering with us IDMC Movement, you are investing in lives being transformed, families being restored, and communities
27:51 being renewed through the power of the gospel. To give, simply visit us online or scan the QR code on screen. Thank you for your generous gift and for partnering
28:03 with IDMC Movement in spreading Christ's messages across the globe into every heart and home among the nations. Thank
28:15 you for joining us today. We hope that this message was an inspiration to you and help you in your journey of discipleship. Join us next time on The Call, a journey of intentional
28:27 discipleship.
