MATTHEW 22:1-14

1. Sadly, many who were invited to the feast, refused to come (v.1-3).
   • Is the problem with the invitation or with the heart of those invited?
   • What was the role of peer pressure for all of them to refuse?
   • Why do we allow anything to hinder us from coming to the feast?
2. Some who were invited chose to attack those who invited them (v.4-7).
   • What attitudes move people to attack those who invite them to a feast?
   • Why should we continue to invite people even when we have been attacked?
3. The invitations continue until the whole house is filled (v.8-10).
   • When will the house finally be filled?
   • How diligently are we continuing to invite people to the feast?
4. There is no excuse for refusing to be clothed by the King (v.11-12).
   • What was the crime of the man who refused the wedding garment?
   • How can we better allow our King to clothe us?
5. Many are invited but only a few are chosen (v.13-14).
   • Why are we so offended by Jesus’ repeated teaching about eternal punishment?
   • Why must the called also be chosen?
   • How do our ‘garments’ show that we are chosen?
