    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

    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

    An Unfair God?

    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,219 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

    Even though it seems obvious that life is not fair, most of us get very excited when we get the dirty end of the stick. This one is about what Jesus has to say on the issue.

    12, March 2006 Dakota Community Church That’s Not Fair One of the things that we are almost all highly developed in is the awareness of what is fair or unfair about life around us. Those with children will recognize one of the first and loudest whines is, “Hey, that’s not fair!” We try very hard ...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.

    This sermon is about those who feel like they are the least, or the last, and to let them know that they are also The Chosen!
