    “Found in the Marketplace” Matthew 20:1-16 By: Rev. Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge UMC, Chattanooga, TN This parable has a lot to teach us… …much more than I could possibly cover in a single sermon.

    In light of the trauma in the world (and especially in our church) how can we call God fair? Or is that not the right question?

    Concordia Lutheran Church January 31, 2010 Is God Fair? Matthew 20:1-16 † IN THE NAME OF JESUS, THE MESSIAH † May the gifts and the peace of God our Father, and our Master, Jesus Christ be poured into your lives, as you work in His Kingdom!

    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!

    Passage: Matthew 20:1-16 Intro: Do you remember the story of David and his confrontation with Nathan? 1. David had committed adultery, had husband killed, confronted by the prophet in a unique way. 2. story of man who stole pet lamb to feed guests, …sucked David in…”you are ...read more

    I have done a lot of thinking about the problem of how to evaluate your own success in the ministry. We can say that we shouldn’t compare ourselves to others. That’s true, but we do it anyway.

    The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard is a well know parable of grace, but it is also a parable of receiving. We must learn to receive.

    What does the desire to be number one indicate from our faith perspective? Whether it is the USA? A congregation, or an individual? Is it wrong to try to be the best at something?

On the first day of school she asked us to line up for lunch ...read more

     | 5,877 views

    Every follower of Jesus has to make the choice to use the gifts God gives and believe they are enough, or ignore them.

    Jesus tells a story about a small business owner. In this story the owner of a vineyard employs some day laborers early in the morning. They agreed to work for a days wage. Later in the day the owner noticed some unemployed folks and asked them if they wanted a job for the day, and they agreed ...read more

    Some people want more from God and some don't. You will never experience more of God if you don't put yourself in a position to know more of God.

    Jesus said “many that are first shall be last, and the last shall be first.” He meant to teach just one thing: That some who think they’re first in the world are going to find themselves last in heaven.
