    Life can be tough and often seems unfair but we serve a fair God.

    Enjoying Life When Your Dog is Growling at You Matthew 20:1-16 INTRO: One of the most resounding things in my memory is my mother telling me, “Josh, life isn’t fair.” I have carried that with me throughout life. The only thing I can say about it is that she was right. Life doesn’t seem to be ...read more

    The Blessing Of Working For The Vineyard Owner

    Contributed by Brian William on Nov 10, 2005
    based on 24 ratings
     | 12,500 views

    Serving in the vineyard of God’s Kingdom is a true blessing because the work is done with the confidence that God’s reward awaits at the end of the day.

    Every morning they line up on the streets – dozens of people outside the temporary services agencies in Chicago. They’re lined up at 6:00 am each morning looking for a job, but these agencies won’t find jobs for them. They’ll only find them work to do – work for one day. By 7:00 am, over 100 of ...read more

    This is on the parable of the workers in the vineyard that were all paid the same.

    I want to tell you a story… There is a small rural farming community not far from here. It is not a wealthy place. In fact, it’s a very poor place. There are a lot of immigrants—legal and illegal—there. Jobs are scarce. The only work most of these immigrants can get is backbreaking work in ...read more

    The kingdom of God totally contradicts the Kingdom of this World

    The passage we will be looking at this evening is from Matthew 20 vs. 1-16. Often subtitled the workers in the vineyard. The approach I am going to take is that we will split the passage up into sections – read the story together and then I will offer you some thoughts on each part. But ...read more

     | 8,378 views

    In dispensing eternal life, God is just as gracious to the death-bed convert as he is one born and reared in the faith. Jesus’ parable of the Vineyard Workers shows us why.

    An Unfair God? Matthew 20:1-16 Somewhere in the Charlie Brown cartoon canon, there is an episode where Lucy and Charlie are walking home from school. Lucy has a report card in her hand and she is clearly not pleased. She turns to Charlie, and, complains: "It isn’t fair Charlie Brown, it just ...read more

    The last shall be first. We belong to a generation that will see the culmination of the previous moves of God. He is visiting His Church again with a revelation of power, presence and praise!

    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

    From the parable of the vineyard workers, understand the generosity of God’s grace and learn to extend grace and mercy to others.

    Parable of the Vineyard Workers This is not a well-liked story because it hits at our sense for what is fair and just. Our first impression is that it is not fair. Why? Why Jesus tells this parable? 20:1 “The kingdom of heaven is like…” It is a description of how God’s Kingdom functions. It ...read more

    The Scandal Of Grace Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 29, 2003
    based on 708 ratings
     | 111,694 views

    Grace is scandalous. It’s hard to accept, hard to believe, and hard to receive. Grace shocks us in what it offers. It is truly not of this world. It frightens us with what it does for sinners.

    (MacArthur’s New Testament Commentary was used in preparing this message.) The Scandal of Grace In this series, we’ve been learning about the topic of grace. As we look at how Jesus dealt with people and at some of His parables, we’re discovering that these “Grace Encounters” radically ...read more
