Sunday Morning - July 25, 2021 - The Wicked Tenants

In Matthew 21 Jesus tells a parable about “wicked” tenants. This parable is surrounded by an encounter Jesus has with a figless fig tree and his well-known Temple visit where he overturns tables and drives people out of the Temple courts. It’s a busy couple of days in Jerusalem! The parable — and the other stories that surround us, invite us to consider to what extent we have accepted Jesus’ vision of the Kingdom as well as the type of fruit that our lives are producing.**SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE PODCAST**Continuing through the end of July 2021, the podcast will include two episodes a week. The first each week, usually on Sunday afternoon, will be a recording of the sermon from that day's worship service. This is in lieu of the live streaming and other online content we have had since March 2020. We want to resume the livestream later, perhaps as early as August 2021, but the livestream setup we had before now was unsustainable, so we plan to use the rest of the summer to create a plan that we can maintain for the long run.The second podcast each week will be the regular podcast episode that you are used to, usually an interview or conversation. That will now be released on Wednesday morning each week.So please enjoy today's sermon now, and come back on Wednesday morning for the regular podcast. Hosted on Acast.
