Perception That Angers
- Pastor Bill Rains discusses Jesus' parable of the vineyard and the wicked workers - Pharisees, Scribes, and Sadducees angrily perceive that Jesus is talking about them - Jesus' words are indeed directed at the religious leaders who opposed him
Pernicious Attempt
- Chief Priest, Scribes, and Spies try to trap Jesus with clever questions - Their attempts to accuse Jesus are easily refuted by his authoritative responses - Jesus exposes their hypocrisy and lack of true relationship with God
Prize Worth Obtaining
- Jesus addresses a Sadducee's question about marriage in Heaven - Emphasizes that earthly concerns about marriage are irrelevant in the afterlife - Urges listeners to focus on obtaining the prize of entering the Kingdom of Heaven - Concludes the sermon with a call to worship and surrender to God - Warns of the consequences for those who reject the message and choose to be their own gods - Encourages listeners to come to the Lord and make a decision before it's too late
