Lutheran Church of the Savior Sermon Audio 9/21/2014

16th Sunday after Pentecost, Lectionary Year AMatthew 20:1-16Jesus' parable of the generous landowner is a wonderfully unexpected look at God's grace for us. The laborers are right to point out that the landowner's generosity exceeds the bounds of fairness, which is why this is such a great story for us as we embark on our annual stewardship drive. Stewardship is the process of figuring out how to respond to God's generosity, figuring out what to do with all God has given us. I love stewardship because this process draws us deeper into our faith and shows us how to live out our new lives in Christ.
