The Landowner & the Laborers | Pastor Courtney Hall

SCRIPTURE TEXT: Matthew 20:1-16   Jesus gives one of His most challenging “Parables of Patience” in Matthew 20’s Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard. In it, a generous landowner surprises his workers by paying those hired near the very end of the day a wage equivalent to those hired at the beginning. Many who hear this story find their patience challenged by its message that “the last shall be first” (v.16). Yet the parable calls us to a kind of patient partnership & trust with & in the Lord that also holds special promise: no matter how long we may have presumed on God’s patience, all the rewards of repentance are ready & waiting to be received by anyone willing to believe & obey Jesus today.   Preacher: Pastor Courtney Hall   Series: Parables of Patience (Pt. 3)   Date: 10/30/2022   |    Time: 10:30 am Sermon Notes
