The Parable of the Generous Landowner

This week, we will be considering the parable of the “Laborers in the Vineyard” in Matthew 20:1-16. I am entitling it “The Parable of the Generous Landowner” because that is a better understanding of the message. This parable is intended to offend us on one level. But then, it is intended to highlight God’s generous, amazing grace.
The text is Matthew 20:1-16. We will consider these four points from the text:
1. The context of the parable.
2. The story of the parable. (All in a day’s work.)
3. The argument at the end of the day.
4. The conclusion and application of the parable.
