    how Jesus went to warn the very people who were plotting to kill him.

    April 1, 2001 Luke 20:9-19 He went on to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it to some farmers and went away for a long time. 10 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard.

    Mary Magdalene was a woman who had felt the scars of other’s remarks and the rumors that had been circulated about her. The rumors continue to this day and yet, on Easter morning, Mary Magdalene was set free by the scars of victory.

    The Scars of Victory John 20:1-20 This has been a whirlwind week full of meetings, visiting people who were in the hospital, sitting with the Trotter family as we planned Larry’s funeral, joining with folks from the choir on Thursday night at Ellis and Kathy Meeks’ home to pray, ask the Lord for ...read more

    The Ultimate Insult Series

    based on 90 ratings
     | 14,036 views

    People refuse to accept God’s authority. We don’t want to be tenants in God’s Vineyard. We want to be the owners.

    "Stick and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me!" You’ve no doubt heard that little rhyme, and you’ve probably even used it at times. When I was growing up it was the standard playground retort to an insult. But of course we all know that those words were simply a bluff. They had ...read more

    based on 49 ratings
     | 8,468 views

    Questions are often not mere inquiries; there is an agenda behind them. We need to answer according to the situation, like Jesus did.

    When Questions Aren’t Questions (Matt. 21:23-22:43; Luke 20:20-40; Mark 12:28-34) 1. You cannot win with some people: A new body repairman was just breaking in at the car shop.

    Coins are made from precious metals and bare the image of authority. We are precious creations of God that bare His image. How should we be spent as Gods currency?

    Spent for God This passage remains one of my all time favorites. I love it because Jesus took a simple thing like a coin and crushed his enemies who were trying to trap him. It is just beautiful in its power and simplicity. It is pure Jesus. Interesting Things about Coins. Coins represent a ...read more

    The cornerstone in biblical times was the first and most important stone laid in the foundation or the top and key supporting stone in an arch. In either case, it was the most important part of the structure.

    Additional texts: Isaiah 43:16-21; Psalm 126; Philippians 3:8-14 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

    Jesus makes it plain. We have a duty to keep. We must give account to him for how we worship and serve in his kingdom.

    Just in case you haven’t noticed we are adding on to our building here. The block for the north and east walls are nearly all the way up now. Lord willing, this next Friday, the first floor will be poured and sealed. And, on June 8th, which is in just three weeks, (weather permitting) we will ...read more

    Jesus wouldn’t be cornered through the tricky tax question; instead, his answers show us how to live in both worlds, not just one -- and which one matters most!

    ¡§Reach Out Honestly¡¨ (Luke 20:20-26) How many of you know what this is? (show picture of toll booth on screen) You guessed it ¡V a toll booth! Yes, these dot the interstate landscape of I-80 through IL, IN, MI, and PA! And it is at these kinds of places we pay a tax ¡V an extra tax to apparently ...read more

    Jesus compares his Father to a Landlord in Luke 20, and in this study we learn that the Lord is a perfectly patient Landlord, as well as a thoroughly just Landlord.

    Lent 5 Luke 20:9-19 His name was Gerry Niebler. I got to know his name very well because I sent him a bunch of checks in the amount of $550. Gerry was a nice guy, I met him a few times, but I didn’t send him money just because he was pleasant and friendly person. And I didn’t give Gerry money ...read more

    based on 19 ratings
     | 4,750 views

    The reason is that we, the church, are those to whom the vineyard was given and we need to be committed to tenant work. We are now those to whom the vineyard is rented and God expects returns!

    COMMITTED TO TENANT WORK LUKE 20:9-19 READ LUKE 20:9-19 I. THE SITUATION The situation that Jesus describes in the opening lines of his parable is probably not a situation that the people He is teaching are unfamiliar with.
