115 PARABLE OF THE HOUSEHOLDER
INTRODUCTION Danger in pressing the parable too far.
I. "To hire-laborers into his vineyard."
1. Four points to notice .
(a) To hire-promised a reward . (b) Laborers-not idlers. (c) Into-not by or near . (d) His vineyard-not other’s.
2. What is the kingdom of heaven? Not king dom above, no laborers there .
3. Kingdom-the church . (Matthew 3:2; Matthew 16:19.) Vineyard--the church (Colossians 1:12-13.) 4. Am I in the vineyard <;>r church and laboring? (Titus 3:8.) 5. To hire "laborers," not babies-church made of laborers. (Php 2:12.) 6. Into his vineyard or church, no other, not father’s or mother’s.
7. Into his vineyard or church, no reward to stop and dig on the outside.
8. To labor for the penny, not because they already had it. (Mark 10:29-30.) Explain-faith in wrong one. Christ faith in Christian, if now have it.
9. Eleventh hour man , one who had been waiting for invitation . Are you?
