In Enduring Wisdom, Dr. Michael Youssef preaches boldly and verse by verse through Luke chapters 12 to 17, proclaiming the uncompromising truth of Jesus Christ. In this 18-part series, Dr. Youssef confronts today’s cultural rebellion with the eternal authority of God’s Word—calling believers to fear God, not man; to repent of sin; to stand for righteousness; and to live in readiness for Christ’s return. With urgency and clarity, he addresses pride, false teaching, moral compromise, and spiritual complacency. Each message calls the Church to intercede for the lost, submit to Christ’s Lordship, and walk in the power of the Holy Spirit—grounded in the inerrant truth of Scripture.

In this powerful message from Luke 14, Dr. Jonathan Youssef exposes the pride and self-righteousness that blind many from entering the Kingdom of God. Speaking with bold clarity, he contrasts false religion with the heart of true faith: humility before a holy God. At a Pharisee’s dinner, Jesus confronts man-made laws, rebukes religious pride, and reveals the eternal danger of exalting oneself. Through parables of feasts and invitations, we’re warned not to reject God’s grace with worldly excuses. Only the humble—those who repent and recognize their spiritual poverty—will be welcomed at His banquet. This episode calls believers to intercede for the lost and examine their hearts before the Day of Judgment.
