    He told a parable that could not have been misunderstood.

    Friday of the Second Week in Lent 2026 Two questions seem to obsess the writers of the Book of Genesis.

    This sermon aims to explore the depth of God's love for us, as illustrated in The Parable of the Vineyard and the concept of being grafted onto Christ the Vine, emphasizing that we are not striving for God's love, but securely planted in it.

    Today’s sermon is grounded in Matthew 21:33-46 and Philippians 3:4b-14. We’ll be exploring The Parable of the Vineyard, God's Love Poured Out in Christ, and what it means to be Grafted onto Christ the Vine. You know, it reminds me of something that A.W.

    Jesus "triumphal entry" according to the Zechariah 9:9 prophecy was for the purpose of personally demonstrating the apostasy of Israel, culminating in the pronouncing of judgment on Israel in the "woes" and lament of Matt. 23. In Matt. chapter 21, His bas

    Would You Too Reject Him?

    Contributed by John Herrmann on Oct 4, 2002
    based on 44 ratings
     | 6,588 views

    In the parable of the vineyard and the "rejected cornerstone of Christ", we see how an ever near and patient God reveals himself in Creation and redemption -- working through the Holy Spirit to keep us from rejecting him.

    It would seem the vineyard image is appropriate for this time of year. I’ve read that the Napa Valley is expecting a great crush this year. In Amador County, here in California, there is weekend tasting and festivities in honor of the harvest vintage. Maybe some of our people are there right ...read more

    What happens when Jesus inspects your life? He cursed the fig tree because it didn’t bear fruit - why? And how do we bear fruit for our Savior?

    I have three fruit trees in my backyard. I would not call it an orchard – just three trees – a plum, a pear, and an apple. It’s not an orchard, nor am I an orchardist – or whatever you are when you have an orchard. I think my trees know it too – they get together every winter and say "how are we ...read more

    This sermon explores the theme of rejection in Matthew 21:33-46, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and seeking forgiveness for the times we have rejected Jesus and the gospel in our lives.

    No one likes to feel the sting of rejection. I’m sure that all of us here could share about a time when we experienced the pain of rejection. Whether it be in a relationship, a job, or even having an idea dismissed… It’s never a pleasant experience and these points of rejection often sit in our ...read more
