    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

    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

    The Grace Of God

    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

    I’m really sorry Kon isn’t here. Kon is my best mate, and was my trainer and corner-man for all my fights, and it’s not that I need him here ‘in my corner’ when I’m preaching. It’s because when I first met him, he said to me, “Dave, I’ve read the Bible, and what about that guy who hires some ...read more

    God’s grace is a free gift that is available to all of us. It is a free gift that we receive but it isn’t what we deserve. It is about mercy, not fairness. And, it is for the last as well as the first. Thankfully, what we can all say is, It’s about gr

    A story is told about Fiorello LaGuardia, who, when he was mayor of New York City during the worst days of the Great Depression and all of World War II, was called by many New Yorkers “the Little Flower” because he was only five foot four and always wore a carnation in his lapel. He was a ...read more

    1- The kingdom of heaven is like a landowner 2- The kingdom of heaven is like men working 3- The kingdom of heaven is like getting paid

    INTRO.- The kingdom of heaven is a kingdom. It is a country, a domain, an empire. It is similar to our country and yet it is not similar. Heaven is not America and America is not heavenly!

    The way into the Kingdom is by response to an invitation to come – not by justice (working for your wages). All people, regardless of background, can respond to God’s invitation and be rewarded with eternal life.

    In a rather shocking story that Jesus told to a crowd of people, he shared with them that the ways of God’s relating to people are actually quite a bit different from our rules of fairness, justice, and good economic principles. Listen now as I’ll tell you a story like Jesus told it – it comes ...read more

    We have a generous and gracious God, who loves and cares for us. He saw our need and came to our rescue. We are simply blessed, by His grace.

    20:1 “The kingdom of heaven is like…” It is a description of how God’s Kingdom functions. It is about how God treats his people. Why did Jesus tell this parable? • This parable grew out of Jesus’ encounter with the rich young man. • He is young and capable. In fact, he kept the commandments ...read more

    God has work for us to do in His vineyard--the Church. Are we willing?

    When the Romans used to attack a city, it was sometimes their custom to set up at the gate a white flag, and if the garrison surrendered while that white flag was there, their lives were spared. After that, the black flag was put up, and then every man was put to the sword. Throughout our lives, ...read more

    We in our humanity struggle to understand the depth and comprehensiveness of the divine concept of Grace. How can we try and understand this concept better?

    Grace We visit the Columbia Asia Hospital occasionally. We always make an appointment for a specific time. I remember one occasion very clearly. We arrived early, the appointment was at 10.45 and we arrived at 10.15 am. We took the registration slips and sat down to wait. Half an hour wait in a ...read more

    We need to learn how not to be jealous of another persons blessing and be happy for them.

    Grumbling Over Grace Matthew 20: 1-16 This parable grows out of a reply to a statement made by Peter. Peter’s statement was the aftermath of Jesus’ parable about the rich young ruler. Peter said you told the rich young ruler to go and sell everything he had and follow you ...read more
