Sermon for Septuagesima. The Scripture readings are Exodus 17:1-7; 1 Corinthians 9:24-10:5; and Matthew 20:1-16.
Christian life is work and labor in the vineyard (not a factory). The work you do in Christ’s kingdom brings joy, peace, and feasting to the world. May we all be diligent and joyful as we live out our faith in the life of the vineyard.
