    God gives his gifts, not based on our merit, ability of achievement, but based on his generous grace.

    It’s hard to miss the hype of a TV show like American Idol. I haven’t really paid much attention to it in the past three seasons, but it caught my eye a couple of weeks ago. It has a lot of interesting elements: the fairy tale ‘rags to riches’ angle; the off-beat personalities; the actual ...read more

    A message on how God provides for our needs.

    EMPLOYER—EMPLOYEE Matthew 20:1-16 INTRO: What’s in it for me? That is the question you hear most often when you ask someone to do something for you.

    Helping people to understand the concept of grace

    What’s So Amazing About Grace Before we open our Bibles this morning, I have a couple of questions for you. When does God love you the most? When does God love you the least? Please think about those questions. Let’s open up our Bibles to Matthew chapter 20. I want to look at a parable. ...read more

    How is the Kingdom of heaven to be understood in light of laboring for Christ while the world enjoys the pleasures of sin? The parable of Jesus in Matthew 20 is helpful here.

    Matthew 20:1-16 Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard Jesus introduces this parable saying that the kingdom of heaven is like this. That's an impressive, if not disturbing introduction to this particular parable for many reasons. I believe that the kingdom of heaven in Matthew's gospel applies ...read more

    We live by God's grace and His generosity. Nothing we do can earn us His favor or qualify us for His blessings. Everything we have and enjoy today are gifts from a gracious and generous God. He gives us what we need, not what we deserve.

    Today society taught us that nothing is for free. • You’ve to work for it, pay for it. If we work hard, we will be rewarded in proportion to our work. If you work less, you’ll get less. • There’s nothing wrong with that - but we bring that concept into our ...read more

    The complete unfairness of grace...what a concept! We want our reward to be commensurate with our works. And it's tough when it's not!

    Reading: Matthew chapter 20 verses 1-16. One of the first expressions we learn as children is, “That’s not fair.” • One thing that life seems to teach us, is that this statement is right; • Life doesn’t seem to be fair. In fact it seems to be quite the ...read more
