DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. If you received a personal invitation from the President of the United States (or from another extremely important or famous person), how would you prepare to meet them or attend their event? How is this different from how we prepare for our normal day-to-day encounters?

2. Read Matthew 22:1-14. What does this parable speak to you?

3. Many of the original invited guests chose not to attend the feast. What are some reasons people give for ignoring God’s invitation to accept his forgiveness?

4. The man mentioned in the parable was not the only person invited from the streets. Why do you think he wouldn’t prepare himself properly for the wedding feast? What was the result?

5. As Jesus-followers in 2025, how should we apply this parable to our lives?
