Matthew 20:9-15

This sermon is centered on Matthew chapter 20, particularly focusing on verse 15, which states: “Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil because I am good?” The preacher elaborates on the spiritual principles drawn from the parable of the laborers in the vineyard, emphasizing God’s sovereignty, grace, and human response.

The sermon challenges believers to recognize God’s ownership over their lives, accept His will, and actively follow Him with faith and obedience. It encourages believers to live with humility, gratitude, and perseverance, trusting that God’s grace is sufficient regardless of when one comes to faith or what challenges arise. The closing invitation calls for those uncertain about their salvation to trust Christ, assuring them of God’s mercy and grace.

Key takeaway: “You are not your own; you were bought with a price. Therefore, glorify God with your life.”
