FAMILY THEME: GRACE

THE GRACIOUS GIFT OF GOD

Matthew 20:1-16

Jesus paralleled God's grace with that of a gracious farmer.

1.  God Extends a Gracious Invitation 

     (Matthew 20: 1-7)

     The common denominator among the workers is that 

     they all were invited to work.

 
2.  God Promises a Gracious Reward

     (Matthew 20:8-9) 

     How long each person worked proved completely

     irrelevant to what he received.

 
3.  God Expects a Gracious Response

     (Matthew 20:10-16)

     All who trust Christ are graciously given salvation, no

     matter when they come to Christ.
