An Invitation to Worship This Week
September 24, 2023
Life seems fair or unfair depending on the circumstances or our point of view. We often focus on those who have more than we do on those who have less. Recent labor union strikes and contract negotiations prove this point.
The parable of the laborers in the vineyard demonstrates that relative pay levels may never seem fair. Also known as the parable of the generous landowner, all the workers were paid the same no matter how many hours they worked. It’s no wonder that many of them grumbled. It wasn’t fair! But the landowner said, “Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or are you envious because I am generous?’ So the last will be first, and the first will be last.” When have you felt envious of others? When did life seem unfair? How do we deal with disparities in compensation both large and small? Are we able to be grateful for God’s generosity?
We hope you’ll join us for Sunday Worship at 10:30 a.m.,
