Welcome to this LCMS Lutheran Sermon: “A Banquet of Mercy” (Luke 14:1–14) for the Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost, Proper 17C. In this Christ-centered message, Pastor David Balla of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod preaches on Jesus’ parable at the Pharisee’s table, showing how the Kingdom of God is not a banquet of pride or self-interest but a banquet of grace and mercy.
This sermon proclaims the heart of the Gospel: that Christ invites the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind—those who cannot repay—into His feast of forgiveness, life, and salvation. You’ll hear how Jesus exposes our pride, how He embodies true mercy in His death and resurrection, and how the Lord’s Supper is the foretaste of the eternal marriage supper of the Lamb.
