Matthew 20:1-16
Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost

Pastor's sermon is based on the Gospel lesson. In the world we know, time plus effort equals production, and production equals pay. Those who are in the most demand, the hardest workers with the highest skills, deserve the first and greatest reward. Yet this parable suggests that in the economy of God’s kingdom, there IS something better than profit margin, greater than incentive and reward, more beautiful than a sharply run business. And that “something” is God’s amazing grace. Thanks be to God!!! Amen.
