ROOTED: The Greatest Invitation

Weekly Messages

“You’re Invited!” Whether you are 7 or 70, hearing these words means the world to us…

For example, we all remember what it felt like as a kid to be invited to birthday parties… and what it felt like to not be invited. We remember in part because that feeling never really goes away. You can say not being invited to that wedding or hangout or work party doesn’t bother you, but it does (you know it’s true). Invitations matter to us.

In this week’s scripture passage Jesus extends an invitation to us all–an invitation that just might be the greatest invitation of all time.
