    Service to God is not a contract with an expiration date. We’re called to reflect the spirit of Christ, beginning from the first day that we receive his grace, and continuing until he calls us home. Of himself, Jesus said, “I have not come to be served

    Matthew 21:33-43 Tipping Points The gospel for today recounts yet another parable which Jesus told against the religious establishment of Israel. After he had spoken the parable, Matthew records these words: 45 Now when the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they perceived that He ...read more
