Parable of the Landowner: Are We Offended by God’s Grace?

Preacher: Eric Douma Series: Matthew Scripture: Matthew 20:1–16

In this message, taken from Matthew 20:1-16, we learn from Jesus' parable of the landowner about how we ought not to grumble against the goodness and graciousness of God. We learn how this parable answers Peter's grumbling in which he asked Jesus, "What's in it for us who have left everything to follow you" (Matt. 19:27)?

Jesus' parable of the landowner explains why God's goodness and graciousness should be the basis of our life and trust rather than something we suspect of injustice or unfairness. Come and hear for yourself why God's goodness and gracious character is unimpeachable before mankind.
