4. The Father's Will for You (Matthew 21:23-32)
(During the holiday weekends (Oct. 1 & 8) we will take a break from our study of the Reformation.) Last week we saw how many who are last will be made first by God's grace and mercy. The parable today is similar in many ways. The son who first refuses the father's call to go into the field later repents, while the one who agrees to go at first, never goes to the field at all. In this parable, Jesus is contrasting the sinners and tax collectors with the chief priests and elders of the people.

5. The Father's Will for You (Matthew 21:23-32)
Those who were "last" among the people heard the message of John the Baptist, who proclaimed that Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, and they believed. And by faith their lives were transformed so that they were invited into God's kingdom. Meanwhile the Pharisees did not believe in Jesus.

6. The Father's Will for You (Matthew 21:23-32)
They claimed to be listening to God and following Him, but in reality they lied to God and refused God's gift of forgiveness and life in Jesus. In the same way we are invited into the kingdom of God, not by claiming or pretending to be good, but by truly believing in Jesus. And in this way the will of the Father is truly accomplished in us and our lives are transformed.

7. WELCOME

And earth repeat the loud amen.

28"What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, 'Son, go and work today in the vineyard.' 29" 'I will not,' he answered, but later he changed his mind and went. 30"Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, 'I will, sir,' but he did not go. 31"Which of the two did what his father wanted?"  "The first," they answered

32.  32Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you.

33. The Father's Will for You
SERMON 讲道
The Father's Will for You
(Matthew 21:28-32)
Pastor Shaun Daugherty

34. What a glory He sheds on our way!
#276 Trust and Obey
1 When we walk with the Lord In the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will, He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, But to trust and obey.

35. But His smile quickly drives it away;
#276 Trust and Obey
2 Not a shadow can rise, Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, Not a sigh nor a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, But to trust and obey.

36. But our toil He doth richly repay;
#276 Trust and Obey
3 Not a burden we bear, Not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief nor a loss, Not a frown or a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, But to trust and obey.

37. Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
#276 Trust and Obey
4 Then in fellowship sweet We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go,
Never fear, only trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, But to trust and obey.
Amen.

38. APOSTLES' CREED
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried.
我信上帝，全能的父，创造天地的主。
我信耶稣基督，上帝的独生子，我们的主，因着圣灵成孕，从童女马利亚所生，在本丢彼拉多手下遇难，被钉在十字架上，死了，葬了。下到地狱。

39. APOSTLES' CREED
He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
第三天从死人里复活。后升天，坐在无所不能的父上帝的右边。将来必从那里降临，审判活人、死人。

40. APOSTLES' CREED
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
我信圣灵，一圣基督教会，圣徒一体相通，罪得赦免、肉身复活、并且永生。阿们。
