    This is a sermon with a strong call to stewardship as a response to God’s eternal love. This includes prayer, presence, gifts, and service as well as how we live our lives.

    Paonia United Methodist Church October 9, 2002 Rev. John Nadasi Matthew 21:33-46 The parallels are clear. The Pharisees knew he was talking about them. They had been given a vineyard to work in. Overtime, they claimed the vineyard as their own, No longer open to the outsider, but instead, a ...read more

    Would You Too Reject Him?

    In the parable of the vineyard and the "rejected cornerstone of Christ", we see how an ever near and patient God reveals himself in Creation and redemption -- working through the Holy Spirit to keep us from rejecting him.

    It would seem the vineyard image is appropriate for this time of year. I’ve read that the Napa Valley is expecting a great crush this year. In Amador County, here in California, there is weekend tasting and festivities in honor of the harvest vintage. Maybe some of our people are there right ...read more

    Bearing Fruit

     | 27,347 views

    What happens when Jesus inspects your life? He cursed the fig tree because it didn’t bear fruit - why? And how do we bear fruit for our Savior?

    I have three fruit trees in my backyard. I would not call it an orchard – just three trees – a plum, a pear, and an apple. It’s not an orchard, nor am I an orchardist – or whatever you are when you have an orchard. I think my trees know it too – they get together every winter and say "how are we ...read more

    The Wicked Tenants

    The Biblical metaphor of Jesus being the cornerstone which the builders rejected conveys the understanding that without Jesus we can do nothing (John 15:5).

    THE WICKED TENANTS Text: Matthew 21:33-46 In modern day, we tend to think of a cornerstone as a stone that is inscribed and placed in the corner of the foundation of a building that marks the beginning of the building. The way that the Bible uses the word cornerstone means much more than ...read more

    Father Dave’s Sermon on Matthew 21:33-46 & the East Timorese Martyrs. The nature of God, the price he’s willing to pay for His ’Vineyard’ and the wait for the justice that will eventually take place.

    Wednesday is the feast of ’the Saints and Martyrs of Asia’. It is a tragic irony that on the very day it is celebrated, more East Timorese martyrs will probably be added to their number! A Protestant Christian leader has been killed. The Communion of Churches in Indonesia has confirmed that the ...read more

    This parable of Jesus tells the story of the world and its rebellion against God. Jesus was also predicting his own death.

    The Tenants Matthew 21:33-46 Jesus tells this very interesting and provocative story about a landowner and some farmers to whom he rented his land. In Jesus’ story, the landowner does all the work in the beginning. The land is his, and he plants a vineyard. He digs a winepress where the grapes ...read more

    Tenant Farming is simalar to Share Cropping. the owner gets his first!

    SHARE CROPPERS When I was a very young man, my family lived and worked on a farm. We were sharecroppers for a while, and I can assure you it is not a life I would recommend to any one. Landowners would find large mostly poor families and hire them as sharecroppers, which meant basically free ...read more

    Listen to a Genuine Love Song 1) Learn how much God has done for you 2) Learn how much God expects from you

    What percentage of songs on the radio is about love? 50%? 75%? 90%? I don’t know the exact percentage but whether it’s rock, pop, or country, I’d say that most songs are about love and relationships. Does this mean that songwriters understand love because they write about it so much? No. Not when ...read more
