    Man rejects man and man rejects God, but God will never reject man.

    Scripture Reading: “Matthew 21:33-46 Message: “He was Rejected” Text: “He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering” (Isaiah 53:3). What is rejection? The American Heritage Dictionary defines the word reject as follows: to refuse to accept, recognize, or ...read more

    Regardless of what you may think of yourself, you are having an impact on someone else’ life.

    BROKEN TO BE MADE WHOLE Key Verse: John 3:30 “He must decrease, and I must decrease.” Opening: We face a new year that will be different than any other. For most people, that is. Some folks expect and are excited about 2003. Others are not. God has convinced and challenged many of you that ...read more

    This is a sermon with a strong call to stewardship as a response to God’s eternal love. This includes prayer, presence, gifts, and service as well as how we live our lives.

    Paonia United Methodist Church October 9, 2002 Rev. John Nadasi Matthew 21:33-46 The parallels are clear. The Pharisees knew he was talking about them. They had been given a vineyard to work in. Overtime, they claimed the vineyard as their own, No longer open to the outsider, but instead, a ...read more

    Would You Too Reject Him?

    Contributed by John Herrmann on Oct 4, 2002
    based on 44 ratings
     | 5,818 views

    In the parable of the vineyard and the "rejected cornerstone of Christ", we see how an ever near and patient God reveals himself in Creation and redemption -- working through the Holy Spirit to keep us from rejecting him.

    It would seem the vineyard image is appropriate for this time of year. I’ve read that the Napa Valley is expecting a great crush this year. In Amador County, here in California, there is weekend tasting and festivities in honor of the harvest vintage. Maybe some of our people are there right ...read more

    Bearing Fruit

     | 26,224 views

    What happens when Jesus inspects your life? He cursed the fig tree because it didn’t bear fruit - why? And how do we bear fruit for our Savior?

    I have three fruit trees in my backyard. I would not call it an orchard – just three trees – a plum, a pear, and an apple. It’s not an orchard, nor am I an orchardist – or whatever you are when you have an orchard. I think my trees know it too – they get together every winter and say "how are we ...read more

    The Wicked Tenants

     | 13,120 views

    The Biblical metaphor of Jesus being the cornerstone which the builders rejected conveys the understanding that without Jesus we can do nothing (John 15:5).

    THE WICKED TENANTS Text: Matthew 21:33-46 In modern day, we tend to think of a cornerstone as a stone that is inscribed and placed in the corner of the foundation of a building that marks the beginning of the building. The way that the Bible uses the word cornerstone means much more than ...read more

    A Little Shady Accounting

    As long as there have been people in the world some have tried to cheat others. In the Parable of the Vineyard, that is exactly what happened.

    Having served most of my ministry in rural east Texas, several of my church members have done some farming. And over those years I became at least somewhat familiar with sharecropping, particularly a form of it that they called farming on the halves. At first thought, I would never have imagined ...read more

     | 39,642 views

    This parable of Jesus tells the story of the world and its rebellion against God. Jesus was also predicting his own death.

    The Tenants Matthew 21:33-46 Jesus tells this very interesting and provocative story about a landowner and some farmers to whom he rented his land. In Jesus’ story, the landowner does all the work in the beginning. The land is his, and he plants a vineyard. He digs a winepress where the grapes ...read more

    Tenant Farming is simalar to Share Cropping. the owner gets his first!

    SHARE CROPPERS When I was a very young man, my family lived and worked on a farm. We were sharecroppers for a while, and I can assure you it is not a life I would recommend to any one. Landowners would find large mostly poor families and hire them as sharecroppers, which meant basically free ...read more
