Part 1 of the sermon, “The Laborers in the Vineyard,” by Pastor James Brown Jr., examines Christ’s parable of the laborers in the vineyard, revealing the sovereign generosity of the Master who calls and graciously rewards His servants. Though Christians do not labor to earn salvation, Christ’s call never leaves them idle: He brings them into His Kingdom and visible Church to worship, serve, sacrifice, persevere, and participate in His mission.
