Father Nissen's message that wasn't

The morning worship service that was scheduled for October 12 was canceled because of the heavy rain. But this is the message that Father Nissen had intended to deliver.

The Gospel reading for the day was Matthew 22: 1 - 14.

This is an allegorical parable. It talks about people being invited to a wedding banquet, but they did not come. Some even became violent.

There are many themes in this parable. Here are a few:
  • Not to accept God in our lives is serious. It is a snub against God.
  • If we accept God in our lives we can become righteous.
  • If we do not accept God in our lives we do violence against our selves and others. By not growing in grace and not loving other as we should.
