    Of Grace And Envy

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Oct 17, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,163 views

    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

    The Grace Of God

    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 20:20-28 Intro: The great thing about studying a book all the way thru is that you begin to identify recurring themes. 1. and the Bible is a book where repetition means emphasis, because it is essentially a Hebrew book. 2. ever since the Beatitudes way back in chapter 5, and ...read more

    A different twist on how a mom bought a request to jesus that demonstrates the kind of moms we honor today. Mothers are soft voices saying, "i love you." and mothers are a link to god, a child's first impression of god's love.

    A STRANGE REQUEST FROM MOM! Jim McCutchen • A mother was talking to an old college friend and said, “I remember before I was married that I had three theories about raising children. Now I have three children and no theories Kings can pass away; other kings can rise. Presidents can ...read more

     | 49,302 views

    We are looking at the heart of a servant, which Jesus said should be our goal if we want to be great in the kingdom of God. To have such a heart will cost and goes against everything we’re taught. It conflicts with our self-centeredness and personal desires. But in the end, there’s a reward.

    This sermon deals with being selfless as apposed to selfish in our personal lives.

    Selfish or Selfless Back in 2013, the word of the year was “selfie”. It seems with the advent of the smart phone and even some of the latest flip phones, we have fallen in love with taking our own picture. The word selfie makes me think of the character from Greek mythology named ...read more

    William Gladstone said, "Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race." Think about it; if everyone just looked out for #1 then no one would be satisfied; including #1. I can gain a lot by being selfish...except what's truly important.

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

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
