Sunday Worship Preview - June 27

June 27 - (8:15 A.M. & 11:00 A.M. Traditional Services & 9:45 A.M. Praise Service) & Wednesday, June 30 (6:30 P.M. Casual Service @ Crossroads, 2095 Fair Avenue)

Sermon - "Puzzling Parables - The Laborers in the Vineyard"

Features - 5th Sunday After Pentecost

Scripture - Deuteronomy 24:14-15 and Matthew 20:1-16

Theme - We continue our sermon series on the puzzling parables of Jesus. Some parables may leave us scratching our heads wondering what to make of what Jesus is trying to tell us. For this third and concluding Sunday of the series we focus on the parable of the laborers in the vineyard. This is a parable of God’s irrational and extravagant grace and puts to the test our sense of fairness and justice.
