Belonging & Status in the Kingdom of God (Matthew 19:30-20:16)

In the parable of the laborers in the vineyard, Jesus teaches us that God’s massive heart for us transcends all human ideas about fairness. Though it sounds appealing on the surface, this is a difficult truth, confronting us on the ways live for our own prestige and compare ourselves to others. In this passage, we will come face to face with a generous God who invites us into a new vision of what it means to be His people in a world where status and competition rule the day.
