Joe Bailey: Entrance Talk (Luke 13:22-30)
Joe Bailey, pastor of Speegleville Baptist Church, asked his congregation to imagine two scenarios: a party they weren’t invited to, and a party they invited many people to but to which only a few came. How would they feel?
In the sermon Scripture passage, a questioner asked Jesus if only a few people would be saved. Three words feature prominently in the story: effort, limited and everyone. Bailey explains what these three words entail. He emphasizes the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ is available to all who will follow him as their Lord and Savior.
This sermon was delivered online Sunday, Mar. 21, 2021, for the morning worship service of Speegleville Baptist Church as the second of a two-part series titled “Journey to Jerusalem.”
