    The Vineyard. (PowerPoint slides to accompany this talk are available on request - email: gcurley@gcurley.info)

    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

    Jesus emphasizes to us that the urgency to spread the Gospel is greater than ever before.

    A Messiah's Sense of Urgency Text: Matthew 20:1-16 Introduction 1. Illustration: Richard Baxter, the Puritan preacher of the 17th century conveys the urgency, the zeal of Christian witness when he said, "I preached as never sure to preach again, and as a dying man to dying men!" 2. We can look ...read more

    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

    There is no way to be a Humble Grumbler!

    Sitting in the Grumble Seat Matthew 20:1-16 One of the most generous employers in the world and in history is Bob Thompson, the owner of an asphalt paving company for 40 years. Thompson struck it rich when he sold his company for $400 million, but he gave $128 million away to the hundreds of ...read more

    This message is our eighth in the series and looks at the greed and grace of this story.

    8 The Kingdom of Heaven is Like a Landowner The story is told that a man once encountered Abraham Lincoln walking down the street with his two young sons and both boys were howling. “What’s wrong with the boys Abe?” the man asked. “What’s wrong with the boys is ...read more

    Of Grace And Envy

    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

    In light of the trauma in the world (and especially in our church) how can we call God fair? Or is that not the right question?

    Concordia Lutheran Church January 31, 2010 Is God Fair? Matthew 20:1-16 † IN THE NAME OF JESUS, THE MESSIAH † May the gifts and the peace of God our Father, and our Master, Jesus Christ be poured into your lives, as you work in His Kingdom!

    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

    The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard is a picture of God's grace.

    Laborers In The Vineyard

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 18, 2014
     | 6,714 views

    The parable of the vineyard in Matthew 20 is almost mind boggling in scope and what can be extracted from it. In this sermon we are taking a look at the relationship between the owner and the workers and becoming an employee and the "doing".

    Now we need to remember that we can never take a scripture out of context. Just before this the Rich Young Ruler asks Jesus in Matthew 19:16b (NASB) “Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?” “Do” This was an underlying foundation in the mind of ...read more

    God's Living Wage

     | 6,812 views

    The parable of the laborers in the vineyard teaches us many things but one great thing that it teaches us is that we as Christians cannot be envious about what others have or when they get saved. We should be overjoyed when someone gets saved.

    God’s Living Wage Another Labor Day weekend is upon us. And while I know that some of you are no longer in the workforce per say anymore, you are still working at lots of different things aren’t you? Like James for example hasn’t worked for the phone company for quite a few years ...read more
