    Every one of us, at the end of every day, should ask the same question: are we the first son or daughter, who refused, or the second, who said “yes, sir,” but didn’t do?

    26th Sunday in Course 2020 Anyone who has raised more than one child can empathize with the parent in this story from St. Matthew’s Gospel. In fact, it’s a little like the story of the Prodigal Son from St. Luke. Dad says to the first son, presumably the oldest, “Go work in the vineyard today.” He ...read more

    Jesus tells a very point parable to confront the religious elite with the truth that their religious activities were not taking place in the vineyard that was doing the will of the Father. The true vineyard is only where Jesus is the Vine.

    Message Matthew 21:28-32 “The Two Sons” Our parable today is spoken in the last week before Jesus was put to death. Only days before He had ridden into Jerusalem on a colt – the crowds had enthusiastically welcomed and escorted Him into the city. Surely this was a fulfilment of the promises in ...read more

     The tax collectors and prostitutes were not welcome by religious people. They were the lowest of the low.  According to the religious leaders tax collectors and prostitutes would have no part in the kingdom of God.  But in God’s eyes, who are the real outcasts?

    Intro to main points: The first son was rebellious but repented. The second son talked a good game but disobeyed his father. The command of the father was to work in the vineyard, therefore this parable is not only about salvation but also of Christian service. IN THIS PARABLE, JESUS TEACHES ...read more

    STEW, CONTINUAL STATE OF SUPPRESSED AGITATION and WORRY. Many people in our churches are not thankful as they are too busy stewing? A skunk may claim to be a cat, but the smell will tell.

    Some say they will obey God and don't, Others resist, then go. The Jews in Jesus day did not think they had to obey Jesus so they did not go to work in the vineyard. No serving when you should is a failure.

    Jesus says that it isn’t the religious folk who are first in the kingdom of heaven. It is those who are most open to turning their lives around who are first in line, those who take action when Jesus says, “follow me”.

    It’s painful to have someone you trust tell you that they are going to do something for you---and they don’t. Many of us can tell stories about people who have let us down by making promises and then not following up on them. For example, there is a story of a young widow whose husband ...read more

    We need to be more like the disciple Andrew, who, while he didn't write any of the books in the Bible, led people to Jesus - people like Simon Peter and the boy in the parable of the loaves and fish. Following Jesus is the source of our power to change.
