    Grace I Can't Explain It

    Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Apr 2, 2011

    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

    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 20:1-16 Intro: Do you remember the story of David and his confrontation with Nathan? 1. David had committed adultery, had husband killed, confronted by the prophet in a unique way. 2. story of man who stole pet lamb to feed guests, …sucked David in…”you are ...read more

    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

    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

    God Gives Us Grace And Much More. But Is It Enough?

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Apr 22, 2014
     | 6,026 views

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

    Jesus tells a story about a small business owner. In this story the owner of a vineyard employs some day laborers early in the morning. They agreed to work for a days wage. 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

    God truly is different in His reality than the gods of pagan religion, and so we too are different from their followers.

    Twenty-fifth Sunday in Course 2014 What Kind of Vineyard Owner? When you first heard the parable from today’s Gospel, perhaps when you were a child, what did you think of the householder, the vineyard owner? Was he mean, or generous?
