What is The Great Banquet?

The Gospel of Luke presents the parable of the Great Banquet. Jesus tells of a master who prepared a great banquet and invited many guests, saying “Come, for everything is now ready.” After so many excuses for not attending by his invited guests, the master became upset and ordered his servants, “Go quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.”

After this had been done and still room remained, the master told his servant, “Go out to the roads and country lanes and make them come in, so that my house will be full.” Then, as additional invitations were given, the banquet was presented to his guests. The result of the master’s invitation was to feast and fellowship at a banquet given by God. (Luke 14: 15-24)

What Happens at the Great Banquet?

The Great Banquet is a 72-hour experience, beginning Thursday evening and ending Sunday evening. For three days, guests live and study together in a worshipful time of singing, prayer and discussion. During this time with God, guests are presented His theme of grace, shown an overabundance of His love and examine more fully the presence of Christ in His body of believers. Each guest receives the experience differently but in the end all personally experience His grace through the prayers and acts of a loving, Christian community.
