    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

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

    Some people want more from God and some don't. You will never experience more of God if you don't put yourself in a position to know more of God.

    That’s not Fair! Matthew 20:1-16 Introduction- This week at District Assembly was amazing! I linked the minister’s choir to my Facebook page because it was so good. Platform full of ministers and you could sense God’s anointing as they sang. I think of all the great ...read more

    What does the desire to be number one indicate from our faith perspective? Whether it is the USA? A congregation, or an individual? Is it wrong to try to be the best at something?

    Opening illustration: One of our favorite teachers in elementary school was my third grade teacher, Miss Titus, an “old school” teacher who maintained a strict sense of order in class but who genuinely cared about each of us. On the first day of school she asked us to line up for lunch ...read more

    Proper 20 (A). We toil and struggle against sin, to live righteously, But it does not give us life. Christ gives to us freely and aboundantly, all we need for this life and the next.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “The early bird gets the worm” In our text today, Jesus tells His disciples another parable about the Kingdom of Heaven. You will recall that ...read more

    The third in a series on the Parables of Jesus, this three-point, expository sermon explores the parable of the workers in the vineyard and the eleventh hour hire. It highlights the extravagant, endless, and equalizing grace of God!

    Laborers In The Vineyard

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 18, 2014
     | 6,556 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

    If we start asking ourselves who deserves to be forgiven, we soon find out that the answer is no one. No matter how hard we work, we can’t be “good enough.” The good news of the Gospel is that what can’t be obtained by good works,

    A poor man walking in the forest felt close enough to God to ask, “God, what is a million years to you?” God replied, “My son, a million years to you is like a second to me.” The man then asked, “God, what is a million dollars to you?” God replied, “My ...read more

    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
