Early to the Party
Preacher: The Rt. Rev. Robert P. Price
Scripture: Matthew 20:1-16
Reflection Question
When have you found yourself quietly keeping score of what others received compared with what you believe you earned?
Where in your life do you feel most like someone standing in the marketplace with empty pockets, and what would it mean to hear yourself called into the vineyard?
What shifts in you when you imagine God meeting even your resentment with the word "friend"?
How might your faith look different if you held grace as a gift to celebrate rather than a possession to protect?
Who around you might be standing idle and unnoticed, and what could you do this week to help the host gather them in?
