Magnanimity: Making Room for Others

By Grant Gillard

Just when you think there's no more room at the table, you're going to be asked to make room for others, especially other people NOT like you!

Jesus picks a couple of wild stories to remind his friendly town-folk that God has a bigger plan in mind than what they're thinking.
