    Grace I Can't Explain It

    Grace is outrageous. It’s hard to accept, It’s hard to believe, and It’s hard to receive.

    Imagine yourself in this story. You show up bright and early, dressed for work, lunch pail in hand. You're thrilled when the owner comes by in his flatbed pickup and hires you. He promises a generous wage, the wage of a soldier, more than you are used to getting paid. You already start thinking ...read more

    Will I be rewarded for what I do for the cause of Christ? It is a question many Christians ask, and perhaps many more hold unconsciously in their mind.

    “For the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace, and ...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

    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

    There's work to be done and time is running out. I believe that the Lord is asking many within the church today.“Why are you standing around ?”

    Why Are You Standing Around? Matthew 20:1-7 In Matthew 20 Jesus tells a parable in which He likens the kingdom of Heaven to a man who hired servants to work in his vineyard. There was much work to be done and time was running out. When the owner of the land went looking for more laborers he saw a ...read more

    God truly is different in His reality than the gods of pagan religion, and so we too are different from their followers.

    Twenty-fifth Sunday in Course 2014 What Kind of Vineyard Owner?
