    A Day’s Wages Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 25, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,559 views

    Gathering lost souls for the kingdom is considered labor. When Jesus returns, the payment that laborers (believers) receive is eternal life, and that exact same wage goes to all who have been hired, or rather called, by the Lord.

    This evening’s message is entitled “A Day’s Wages,” and it’s taken from what is commonly called “The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard.” This parable speaks of the reward or payment for one’s labor in the kingdom. There is a story among Aesop’s Fables that addresses the reward for one’s ...read more

    Have you ever felt God asking you to do some type of ministry that you believed was beyond your capabilities, and then you became reluctant? Did you say to yourself, “I’m never going to do that?” This is the way many people respond to the Lord’s call on their life. I’ve heard it said you should ...read more

     | 1,485 views

    There are a number of repercussions instituted by God as a result of the fall. Most movements in our culture today are opposition to this curse. What we fail to understand as a society is the masterful weaving of grace in the curse.
