The Workers in the Vineyard
• Joel Wharton • Series: The Kingdom of God Is Like...
In this message from Matthew 20, we explore the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard—a story that confronts our deep longing for fairness and challenges our assumptions about merit and grace. Jesus flips the script: in the Kingdom of God, grace is the currency, not performance. Whether you showed up early or late, you’re paid in full—not because of what you’ve done, but because of who God is. Join us as we learn to live into this upside-down, grace-filled Kingdom.
