Old Testament prophecies spoke of a Messiah that would come and establish a kingdom. The Jews assumed that this king, this Messiah, would come and establish an earthly kingdom to rule and conquer at will. What they didn't expect was that when Jesus came, He came to establish an eternal kingdom acquired by service and love. In "Tales of the Kingdom," we take a closer look at Jesus' parables.
Pastor Larry kicks off this sermon series with a look at Matthew 20:1-16. He explains why Jesus used parables to talk about his kingdom and further defines what true grace means to you and me. This parable uses the tale of a generous landowner to reveal the dangers of envy when someone else gets more than they deserve.
