Matthew 20:1-34 Evaluating Kingdom Members, a Handout

The Parable of the Laborers in the
Vineyard (Mat 20:1-16)

1. The Facts of the Story

2. The Meaning of the Components

3. The Application of the Parable

The Test of Life (Mat 20:17-34)

The hope is not wrong, but the idea that greatness comes from favoritism rather than service is mistaken.

1. The Difficulties (17-19)

2. The Focus (20-23)

3. The Facts (24-28)

4. The Example (29-34)

 

Not strife, but service;

Not running, but serving.

Not getting, but giving;

Not showing, but sharing.
