Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favor that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace. - Martin Luther

Sunday Reflections

1. Read Luke 14:1, 7-14.
2. Why do the guests actions (v. 7) attract Jesus’ attention? How do you imagine this scene? How does Jesus’ view of honor vary from that held by others at the meal?
3. How do things like customs and status get in the way of loving others in your family? Church? Work place? School? Community? World?
4. If you could throw a party for the “poor,” “crippled,” “lame,” and “blind” in your world, would you invite? How might you do this?
