    Throughout history, great men have predicted a coming spiritual awakening. God's miraculous works will be so evident that even skeptics will be amazed, resulting in a widespread turning toward God and revealing what some call the working of the Holy Spirit as nothing more than worked-up flesh.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (Joel 2:28-29) [28] And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see ...read more

    The Hand Of Grace

    It isn’t a story about work and wages. It isn’t a story about justice or fairness. It is a story about life in the church when new saints are included with those who have been in faith for a life time. They, too, receive the vast blessings of God’s grace, forgiveness, and eternal life.

    Jesus, when speaking about the wealthy owner, said to the disciples, “Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or, are you envious because I am generous?’ So the last will be first, and the first will be last.” Matthew 20:1-16 Friends in Christ, Let’s begin here: The pastor ...read more

    A sermon about the amazing grace of God.

    “Is God Fair?” Matthew 20:1-16 Plenty of people work hard but never get what they feel they deserve. Plenty of people are incredibly decent human beings but always seem to get the short end of the stick. How many of us, as children, were cautioned with the self-evident truth that “life’s not ...read more

    He is, as Torah teaches, “slow to anger.” That’s very different from most of us.

    Twenty-fifth Sunday in Course 2023 All of Scripture is useful to those whose purpose in life is to attain union with the Blessed Trinity. But there are probably a hundred verses that stand out as critical in the most important pursuit of our existence on earth. Two of these, surely, come from ...read more

    Let Me Tell You A Story Of Perplexing Generosity

    Contributed by Joel Pankow on Sep 20, 2023
     | 1,157 views

    Does God's generosity make you angry? How do we live in God's kingdom in comparison with what other people are doing and we are doing?

    9.24.23 Matthew 20:1–16 (EHV) 1 “Indeed the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 After agreeing to pay the workers a denarius for the day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 He also went out about the third hour and saw ...read more

    Salvation through Jesus is for all people. God is fair and just in how He works to reach the lost.

    GOD IS FAIR AND JUST! THAT IS HARD FOR MANY TO GRASP. WE LIVE WITHIN THE SYSTEM OF PUNATIVE LAW: YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE. YET, THE SYSTEM OF GRACE IS FOREIGN TO US: GOD DEALS WITH US ACCORDING TO WHO HE IS, NOT ACCORDING TO WHO WE ARE. GOD EXPLAINED HIS GRACE AND COMPASSION TO MOSES IN EXODUS ...read more

    Jesus gave this parable to His disciples after the rich young ruler had come running to Jesus but had walked away. Look for the "go thy way" in the text--it may surprise you!

    Introduction: Just after the rich young ruler came running to Jesus, and walked away, Jesus gave this parable about workers in a vineyard. This was one of the last parables Jesus ever told. The immediate context stems from the disciples’ reaction to what Jesus said to the rich young ruler. Peter, ...read more

    God isn’t fair. God is lavish. Everything is a gift, including our lives, whether short or long.

     | 10,755 views

    The scenarios we've been looking at over the past few weeks seem unfair on the surface but when we examined them we realized that God was not being unfair. As we close out the series, we'll look at Jesus' parable of the workers in the vineyard.

    "IT'S NOT FAIR!" (part four) We looked at Adam and Eve getting kicked out of the garden for one act of disobedience. We looked at the story of Job losing everything despite being upright and blameless. We saw how the prophet suffered death even though he was tricked by a lying ...read more
