THE KING AND HIS KINGDOM - MATTHEW 20:1–16

MATTHEW 20:1 

BEFORE YOU EVER WORKED FOR GOD, GOD WAS ALREADY WORKING TO REACH YOU.

MATTHEW 20:2

MATTHEW 20:3-5

AS LONG AS GOD IS CALLING, IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO ANSWER.

DIFFERENT TIMING DOES NOT MEAN DIFFERENT VALUE.

MATTHEW 20:6

YOUR DELAY DOES NOT CANCEL GOD'S INVITATION.

MATTHEW 20:7-10

SOMEBODY ELSE'S BLESSING CHANGED THEIR EXPECTATION.

COMPARISON WILL MAKE YOU RESENT A BLESSING YOU ONCE CALLED A MIRACLE.

MATTHEW 20:11

IT'S POSSIBLE TO BE FAITHFUL WITH YOUR HANDS WHILE BECOMING BITTER IN YOUR HEART.

MATTHEW 20:12  

GRACE DOESN'T ASK HOW LONG YOU WORKED. GRACE ASKS WHETHER YOU ANSWERED THE CALL.

MATTHEW 20:13

GOD DOESN'T OWE YOU AN EXPLANATION FOR SOMEBODY ELSE'S BLESSING.

MATTHEW 20:14-15

1. STOP KEEPING SCORE

WHEN YOU START KEEPING SCORE WITH PEOPLE, YOU STOP CELEBRATING WHAT GOD IS DOING THROUGH PEOPLE

 2. DON'T LET SOMEONE ELSE'S GRACE MAKE YOU FORGET YOUR OWN

 3. GOD'S GRACE IS NOT LIMITED BY YOUR TIMELINE

YOU MAY BE LATE ACCORDING TO THE CLOCK, BUT YOU'RE NOT LATE ACCORDING TO GOD'S PURPOSE.

 4. GOD DOESN'T OWE US EQUALITY. HE GIVES US GRACE

YOU CANNOT CELEBRATE GRACE FOR YOURSELF AND RESENT GRACE FOR SOMEBODY ELSE.

MATTHEW 20:16
