    Laborers In The Vineyard

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 18, 2014
     | 6,872 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

    64% of this parable is devoted to Christ asking Christians to give an account for their lives! Christ highlights the great sin of doing nothing -- 35% is devoted to the negligent servant. God help American Christians at the Judgment!

    We examine the two paralell parables of the treasure in the field and the pearl of great price. These are two parables that Jesus uses to describe what God’s kingdom is like.

    One mans view of the parable of the parable of the mina’s from Luke 19 - showing the amazing grace of God in turning him from a slave to a ruler of cities

    You’ll never guess what I saw – it seemed so unfair. He seemed such a nice chap – he had a wife and a couple of kids. He wasn’t seeking to do better than all the others. Just get by. He wasn’t the type to take needless risks – he was a good steady sort. Looked after his family… took care of ...read more

    The parable of ther lost coin. Of the features of the parable have you considered your part, have you considered what it takes to be the broom? A very short illustrative sermon.
