"The Parable of the Eccentric Employer"

Scripture: Matthew 20:1-16

"Jesus Himself taught elsewhere that a worker deserves his wages (see Luke 10:7). We know that God notices when people don't treat their employees right: 'Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ear of the Lord Almighty' (James 5:4). God knows when we are not being paid what we deserve. Yet here is a parable that seems to contradict that idea."

From The Parable of Jesus by R.T. Kendall

Men's Prayer Breakfast

One of the great things about Grace Bible Church is the variety of opportunities we take to pray together. On Saturday, April 24, the men will gather in the Fellowship Hall for great eats, guest speaker Tony Royals, and a time of prayer together. Men, join us as we pray for our nation, our state, our families, and our ministries. Tony is a preacher at the Detroit-Afro American Mission, a man with a unique approach to ministry.

Sign up on the whiteboard outside Pastor's office. A $3 donation is encouraged, but not required.
