Hebrews 1-10 

In Matthew 21:33-46 we see Jesus’ authority comes from the vineyard owner: God. God has been extremely patient with the Jewish leaders of his people, and these people have repeatedly rejected his disciples, prophets and messengers. God looks for Fruit, or life in obedience to the law, yet these leaders have not been producing it.

Now they are about to destroy the vineyard owner’s son, Jesus, because they think that this will lead to their ongoing authority over the people. But the owner of the vineyard will have the last word when he replaces these leaders with Jesus’ disciples who will produce fruit.

This parable is about the redemption. the prediction of Jesus death and resurrection. And how Jesus would rather have people who say no first and then obeys him afterwards rather than people who says yes to him but does the opposite instead. the landowner: God will replace the horrible defiant tenants with new tenants who will provide him with fruits and willing to obey Him.

Main idea:

We must live a fruitful life for God’s glory.

Outline:

This parable makes a contrast and presents the deeds of a good and an evil slave and the respective consequences. The first slave is found faithfully serving his master, when the master returns, he is rewarded (24:45–47), but the second assumes a delay in the master’s return, lives selfishly, and because this is severely punished (24:48–51). The parable is a different look of chapter 24:40–41 and anticipates the next parables in chapter 25. This parable should probably be taken as a warning to those in authority like in church leadership, pastors, and even teachers. Until Jesus comes, those who lead his disciples must use their authority to serve others rather than obsess with increasing power and other selfish benefits.

Main Idea:

Jesus calls us to be faithful while we wait for his return.

Points:

Reference: Matthew 24:45-51

God had given believers the authority to forgive sin, therefore we must show care and compassion when we approach sin, and be willing to forgive other people.

Points:

Main Idea:

The Son of Man has the authority to forgive sin, and through this God is glorified.

Points:

The passage today is closely connected with Matthew 19:30 featuring the verse: “the last shall be first.” Today we look at Matthew 20:16 in a different light, because this parable is focused on the reward. God addresses the concept of pay/reward and reverses it. He shows that it is through grace and not through human effort.

Main Idea:

The grace and mercy of God is equal for all, both in the present and at the final reward

Points:

Today’s Message is about Peter’s message to the Jews about the life of Jesus whom they have crucified. Today we will dig deeper on God’s message to the world. We will look into the life of Jesus and how he became the Messiah that was promised in Joel, and in David’s time. Hopefully by the end of today’s message we will understand what is the role of the Holy Spirit and how Jesus played a very important role on salvation.

Main Idea:

Jesus who was crucified is raised to life by God and He is the Lord and Messiah.

Points:

Jesus confronts unbelievers so they might trust in Him, and He calls them to live on mission for Him as part of His church. God also employs believers to pray for, evangelize, disciple, and commission the people God brings into His church. In this session, we will see from Ananias’s reaction to God’s command that Saul was an inconceivable choice to be saved, much less lead the mission of taking the gospel to the Gentiles. No one would have foreseen his conversion. Yet God specializes

in enlisting enemies to His service and uniting us with His church. Yes, Saul was not the last rebel God saved and commissioned; every believer follows this pattern, including you and me.
