Stop Comparing, Start Thanking: A Sermon on Grace and Gratitude | 8/3/26

Have you ever felt like life was unfair — that someone else got what you deserved? In this powerful sermon on the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20), Pastor Seb unpacks one of Jesus' most challenging and countercultural teachings: the last will be first, and the first will be last. Discover why access to God's kingdom has nothing to do with how hard you've worked or how good you've been — and everything to do with God's radical generosity and grace. We'll explore why comparison steals our joy, how religious pride blinds us to the gift of grace, and what it looks like to practice genuine gratitude in a world wired for envy. Whether you're a lifelong churchgoer or just beginning your faith journey, this message will challenge you to stop measuring your blessings against someone else's and start marvelling at the God who gives a denarius to us all. flbc.org.au
