Why God's Grace Isn't Fair

In this message, Pastor Kirt Anderson walks through Jesus' parable of the workers in the vineyard from Matthew 20, where a landowner pays every worker the same wage no matter how many hours they put in. Pastor Kirt explains that the outrage of the earliest workers reveals something important about human nature, we want justice on our terms, but the kingdom of heaven runs on grace instead. He connects this to the story of Mary and Martha and to the deeper truth that grace, by definition, isn't fair.Pastor Kirt also shares moving stories from Saint Matthew's House graduation ceremonies, where people who spent years in addiction and brokenness are welcomed into a completely new life, "workers in the kingdom" every bit as much as those who have served faithfully for decades. Whether you've been walking with God your whole life or feel like you're just arriving, this message is a reminder that God's grace makes room for all of us in the vineyard.
