In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 20:1-16, using the parable of the vineyard workers to explore the principles of the kingdom of heaven. He explains that God's economy operates on radical grace and generosity, challenging human tendencies toward merit-based thinking, comparison, and resentment, as all recipients of God's blessing are ultimately recipients of unmerited favor.

In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 20:29-34, focusing on the healing of two blind men near Jericho. He explains that the kingdom of God responds to desperate faith and humility, particularly when those in genuine need refuse to be silenced by cultural or religious pressure, and that Jesus asks questions as an invitation for honest engagement that facilitates His compassionate and restorative work.

Mercy means not getting what you deserve. Grace means getting what you don’t deserve. In this message, we hear a story Jesus told to show us God is fair, merciful, and gracious. Outline Leaving everything for Jesus (19:27-30) The farm-owner and his workers (20:1-7) Generous and fair (20:8-16) Our fair and generous God This sermon was pre-recorded and is available as a video:

At Redeemer, our pathway is how we seek to embody our vision and mission, or in other words, put it into practice. We desire every person to enter into intentional apprenticeship to Jesus, to be in a diverse, loving community, and to live in Wichita as witnesses. “The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men and women into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became man for no other purpose.” – CS Lewis At Redeemer, we take seriously Jesus' call to “Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Apprenticeship to Jesus is not a one time decision, but a lifelong journey of following Jesus as our master-teacher. Since the goal of the Christian life is maturity in Jesus, apprenticeship must be deep and holistic, transforming the spiritual, physical, emotional, social, and vocational parts of men and women. Apprenticeship to Jesus is learning to practice the way of Jesus in our homes, relationships, neighborhoods, and jobs. We believe Christlikeness is cultivated as we implement spiritual practices, live in community with other believers, and submit to the Word and the Spirit. We agree with Dallas Willard who said, “that the gospel is opposed to earning, not effort.” As we move towards cultivating a life of loving God and people, we trust Christ will mature us into his likeness. https://redeemerwichita.church/

Our sermons / Bible teaching is a central part of our gatherings.Matthew 20:17-3417 Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them, 18 “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death 19 and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!”20 Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him.21 “What is it you want?” he asked.She said, “Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom.”22 “You don't know what you are asking,” Jesus said to them. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?”“We can,” they answered.23 Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.”24 When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers. 25 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”29 As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him. 30 Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”31 The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”32 Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked.33 “Lord,” they answered, “we want our sight.”34 Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.

Faith shaped America's foundation in ways many have forgotten. Dive deep into the writings of Patrick Henry, who left his family only "the religion of Christ" as inheritance, and Andrew Jackson, who comforted the grieving by pointing them to "our dear Savior." These weren't merely religious men—they were leaders whose Christian worldview fundamentally shaped their vision for our nation.Why would such devoutly Christian founders create a country intended to separate God from government? They wouldn't—and didn't. While they wisely separated church from state to prevent denominational control, they never intended to remove God, prayer, or biblical principles from public life. This distinction has been deliberately blurred in our modern understanding.The episode contrasts our comfortable modern Christianity with the brutal martyrdoms detailed in Fox's Book of Martyrs. Under Emperor Valerian's persecution, Christians faced being burned alive, devoured by tigers, and tortured horrifically—yet many voluntarily identified themselves as believers, knowing the consequences. When was the last time our faith cost us anything significant?I examine how modern America has inverted the founding principles, replacing "taxation without representation" with what might be called "representation without taxation"—where those who contribute little or nothing financially have equal say in how tax dollars are spent. This fundamental shift undermines the constitutional balance our founders established.The Matthew 20 reading reminds us that Jesus "did not come to be served, but to serve." How often do we embody this principle? Do our daily priorities reveal genuine Christian commitment or comfortable cultural Christianity?What would you do if being Christian meant risking everything? Our brothers and sisters in Syria, Nigeria, China, and North Korea face this reality daily. Their courage should challenge us to examine whether our faith is merely convenient or truly convictional.Subscribe to continue exploring the intersection of faith, history, and American identity as we seek to understand how our founding principles can guide us through today's challenges.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

In honor of Mother's Day, Kevin Maloney skips ahead this week to Matthew 20:17-28 and unpacks the request made by the mother of the sons of Zebedee. She asks Jesus if He would assign her sons important positions in the kingdom, seated at His right and left hand. Jesus uses this request to demonstrate real greatness in the kingdom of God: a path antithetical to the way we view success in this life.

Sermon May 4 - The Vinyard Workers: Matthew 20:1-16 by Sunnybrook Christian Church

Rescue Society, Not Yacht Club: Sustaining Your YesScripture References: Matthew 20:1-28Sermon Intro: Welcome! Today, reflecting on our church's journey and recent powerful baptisms, we dive into the heart of our mission – not just beholding Jesus, but the "so that" part: seeing the lost found, prodigals return, disciples made, and churches planted. As we look to the future, the crucial question isn't just what we'll do, but how we'll sustain it. How do we avoid "mission creep"? How do we ensure we remain a dynamic "rescue society" and don't slowly drift into becoming a comfortable "yacht club," forgetting why we started? How do we sustain a life of sacrifice and service for decades to come?Key Points:Beware the Yacht Club - What Do You Deserve? (Matt 20:1-16):The Parable of the Vineyard Workers challenges our sense of fairness. Service can breed entitlement ("I worked longer, I deserve more").We must fight this by remembering GRACE. As Christians, we gave up demanding "fair" – we don't want what we truly deserve!Sustaining service means constantly battling entitlement and remembering God's generosity, even when it doesn't seem "fair" by worldly standards. We never deserve more than the privilege of serving God and others.Fuel for the Long Haul - How Do You See God? (Matt 20:17-19):Jesus predicts His own suffering and sacrifice for us.To sustain our service, we must stay connected to how He serves us. Is your focus primarily on what you do for God, or on what He has done and continues to do for you?Remembering His sacrifice, His carrying the burden, His constant work on our behalf is the fuel for sustained missions.Kingdom Values - How Do You Define Greatness? (Matt 20:20-28):The request of Zebedee's sons highlights a worldly definition of greatness (position, power).Jesus redefines greatness: it's service, humility, being last, being a slave. It's "momness."Sustaining our "yes" requires embracing His definition of greatness. Any position or influence is for serving, not being served. Servant leadership isn't an option; it's the only model.Sermon Conclusion: We are committed to remaining a rescue society. This requires actively fighting the drift towards comfort and entitlement. We do this not by trying harder, but by remembering: remembering the grace we didn't deserve, remembering Jesus' immense sacrifice for us (suffering outside the gate to rescue us), and embracing His upside-down definition of greatness. Let's keep going out on rescue missions together.Call to Action: Examine your heart:Where might entitlement be creeping in regarding your service? Ask God to help you see through the lens of grace.Reflect on how Jesus serves you daily. Let gratitude fuel your service.Are you pursuing worldly greatness or Kingdom greatness (service)? Recommit today to being part of the rescue society, choosing sustained sacrifice over comfort, fueled by the love and grace of Jesus.

Matthew 20:17-25

Matthew 20:1-16

The Parable of the Vineyard workers is an amazing example of the lavish unfairness of God. In this parable Jesus includes the Gentiles which was unthinkable for the Jews. This story takes on increased importance when we remember it is following what Jesus taught in chapter 19 regarding Peter's question, "What will we get, we have left everything?" This story is about rewards rather than the Gift of Eternal life. Jesus again predicts his death. But they still don't get it as James and John's mother comes with her request. Jesus then heals two men who are blind and they follow him. The pdf is a www.rediscoveringgod.ca

The prophecies of the Son of David predict that a king will rise to power to shepherd the people of Israel. Jesus fits this description, and after waiting for centuries for this King, the people rejoice at the thought of a King rising to power to conquer their foes. What they don't realize is that Jesus won't conquer Rome or other nations, but He will instead conquer far greater foes like sin and death. The leaders despise Jesus and the praise He receives from the crowd. With jealousy in their hearts, they make every attempt to discredit the authority of Jesus.Matthew 20 - 1:09 . Matthew 21 - 6:32 . Matthew 22 - 16:26 . Psalm 68 - 23:08 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Genesis 34-35; 19 Psalms 38-39; 40 Matthew 20

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, the final days before Christ's death and resurrection. To commemorate, we are skipping ahead in our Matthew series to look at Matthew 20:29-21:17 and the depiction of Jesus' famous entry into Jerusalem, riding on a donkey. What is the significance of this event in the life of Christ? What do Jesus' next actions in the passage tell us about His character and heart? How does this passage speak to our religious activity today?

What Is Your Response To The King? (Matthew 20-21)

Two questions frame the triumphal entry: What do you want me to do for you? and Who is this?

Alternate Sermon Titles: Donkey Day or The King Who StopsScripture References: Matthew 20:29-34, Matthew 21:1-11, Isaiah 35:4-6, Psalm 118, Matthew 27 (Referenced)Intro: Welcome to this sermon! Today, we're looking at Palm Sunday, the start of Passion Week, Jesus' Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem. It's a pivotal moment described in all four Gospels. While often called Palm Sunday (though only John mentions palms), the focus might actually be on the donkey. This event showcases the unique nature of King Jesus – a king unlike any earthly ruler. We see the crowds finally giving Jesus praise, shouting "Hosanna!" (Save Now!), recognizing Him as the Son of David, the promised Messiah. But even in this moment of seeming triumph, Jesus reveals His true character and mission.Key Points:The King Who Stops for the Hurting (Matt 20:29-34):On His way to Jerusalem, knowing the immense weight of the week ahead (suffering, death, atonement), Jesus is interrupted by two blind beggars crying out, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"The crowd tries to silence them, wanting Jesus to have His moment.But Jesus stops. He doesn't brush them off. He asks, "What do you want me to do for you?"He shows compassion and heals them. This reveals the heart of our King – He has time for the marginalized, even amidst His most critical mission. He stoops down.The King Who Rides a Borrowed Donkey (Matt 21:1-11):Jesus deliberately fulfills prophecy (Zechariah 9:9) by choosing a donkey, not a warhorse.Palms symbolized military victory and nationalism (like the Maccabean revolt). The crowd wanted that kind of king – one to overthrow Rome.Jesus chose the donkey – a symbol of peace, humility, and service (a beast of burden). He was signalling a different kind of kingship, a different way of saving. He comes to carry burdens, not conquer with force.It wasn't even His donkey! He borrowed it, showing humility and dependence, yet also authority ("The Lord needs it"). He owns nothing, yet everything.The King Who Defies Expectations (Matt 21:10-11, Matt 27):The crowd acclaimed Him King, shouting "Hosanna!" (Save Now!), expecting a political/military Messiah to defeat Rome. They chanted Psalm 118 but added titles like "Son of David" and "King of Israel."Jesus' mission was different. He came to conquer a greater enemy: sin and death. He targeted hypocrisy within Israel, not just external oppressors.This disconnect led the same crowd, just days later, to shout "Give us Barabbas!" – choosing a violent insurrectionist over the humble King on a donkey. They preferred their expectations over the King they actually got.Jesus isn't a consultant or a vending machine fulfilling our demands. He is King.Conclusion: Palm Sunday reveals the heart of King Jesus. He is compassionate, stopping for the needy even on His "big day." He is humble, riding a borrowed donkey, signaling peace and service, not earthly power. He challenges our expectations, calling us not just to praise Him when He fits our mold, but to submit to Him as Lord even when His ways aren't our ways. He came to deal with our deepest problem – sin and death – through His own suffering and sacrifice.Call to Action: As we reflect on this King, let's examine our own hearts. Do we treat Jesus like a consultant or a vending machine, only following when it suits us? Or do we submit to Him as King, trusting His ways even when they don't align with our expectations? He is a King who can be trusted – one familiar with suffering, humble enoug Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI. Please notify us if you find any errors.

The "Triumphal Entry" was the public declaration that Jesus viewed himself as the Messiah, and the promised King of kings. He rode into Jerusalem accepting the title of "Son of David" and the shouts of praise, "Hosanna!" He then entered the temple and called it "My house." Jesus was forcing the people to either crown him or crucify him (and he knew which the religious leaders would choose). With Jesus, there is nothing in between. We must know him as King or do our best to get rid of him.

An Hour of Service: Matthew 20:17-34 (Josh Lewis) by Highlands Community Church

DateMarch 23, 2025SynopsisIn this sermon, we tackle envy—the belief that someone else's success threatens our own—through Jesus's parable of the vineyard workers. Envy isn't just comparison; it's the corrosive lie that another's blessing diminishes yours, scaling from personal insecurity to systemic oppression. The antidote? Generosity rooted in knowing your belovedness. When we celebrate others' wins instead of competing, we disrupt envy's isolating power and reconnect to what matters: in God's economy, there's more than enough for everyone.ReferencesScripture: Matthew 20:1–16About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.
