Laborers In The Vineyard

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 18, 2014

The parable of the vineyard in Matthew 20 is almost mind boggling in scope and what can be extracted from it. In this sermon we are taking a look at the relationship between the owner and the workers and becoming an employee and the "doing".

The problem with trying really, really, ...read more

Just what is it that makes a church authentic? The greatest challenge that we find as we try to follow Jesus is dedicating ourselves to the truth of the Scripture in a culture that tends to base their lives on their own opinions instead of on the truth of God's word.

I have asked God what words can I bring to the church that would make this transition a lot easier so that we can remain ...read more
