In the book of Matthew, Jesus shares a curious parable about a royal wedding feast and some very unusual guests. But as you’ll learn in this episode of The Verdict, this story isn’t really about a wedding—it’s about our own invitation to enter the Kingdom of God

No matter how good you try to be, or how many church services you attend… the only way any of us can truly please God is through authentic faith.  So, what separates true faith from empty religious activity?
