     | 2,682 views

    God is extremely generous with His word and people respond in various ways.

    How do you respond to the Bible? How do you respond to God’s Word? Our attitudes and expectations affect how we hear and receive God’s Word. They also affect how we use God’s Word for our life. For many years, I saw God’s Word as something that had to be laboured through. As something that only ...read more

    The Vineyard PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 29, 2023
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,521 views

    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. Tozer once said: "God never hurries. There ...read more
