Description

In this sermon, Richard discusses two parables from Matthew 21 & 22, focusing on the Vineyard metaphor and the religious leaders’ rebellion against God’s authority. We are reminded how the owner’s care for the Vineyard symbolizes God’s love and protection for His people. We also see how the invitation to the wedding feast signifies God’s grace extended to all, regardless of status. We are also warned about the consequences of rejecting God’s invitation and the need for genuine repentance.
