    The third in a series on the Parables of Jesus, this three-point, expository sermon explores the parable of the workers in the vineyard and the eleventh hour hire. It highlights the extravagant, endless, and equalizing grace of God!

    We all labor in one manner or another. What distinguishes one's labor? What makes our labor vain or valuable?

    “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:58 I. Vain labors are everywhere! People often look back over their lives at the fruit of their labors with ...read more

    Carlyle wrote, "Labor is Life." Jesus wants us to be sure that we are laboring for the right life.

    Pastor John Piper writes, “In 1956 a commemorative Labor Day stamp was issued with a picture of a strong man holding a sledge hammer, a pick, a hoe, and an ax over his shoulder. His wife was seated by his side with a book in her lap showing a small child how to read. In the lower left hand corner ...read more

    Honoring laborers on Labor Day.

    I like this quote by Jerome K. Jerome about labor: “I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.” Labor Day came about through the labor movement in America to honor our workers for their achievements. Beginning in 1885, States passed legislation to praise their labor forces. ...read more

    Both Jamestown and Plymouth nearly failed in their early years. But it was the Pilgrims' view of labor that not only saved it's colony, but became the driving force in making our nation great.

    We here the phrase I can't afford to work. The implication is that if I work I will earn less than not working. Eph. 4:28 says that is stealing! The reason I believe many hold this wrong concept and steal is they do not understand God's design for work.

    Passages from the NIV on Bible Gateway Introduction Have you ever wished that you had grown up in the first century; being a part of the church at the very beginning?

    Laborers In The Vineyard

    The parable of the vineyard in Matthew 20 is almost mind boggling in scope and what can be extracted from it. In this sermon we are taking a look at the relationship between the owner and the workers and becoming an employee and the "doing".

    Now we need to remember that we can never take a scripture out of context. Just before this the Rich Young Ruler asks Jesus in Matthew 19:16b (NASB) “Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?” “Do” This was an underlying foundation in the mind of ...read more
