The Parable of the Tenants

God has provided all that we need in this life. But what does he really ask of us? What does it mean to have him as King of our life? What does it mean to be a good tree producing kingdom fruit? Join us this Sunday as we explore the Allegorical Parable of the Tenants.

Sermon Outline:

I. Gods vineyard

a. The tenants

b.The son

c. The consequence

II. God’s Plan

a. Christs rejection

b. God’s inclusion

c. God’s fruit

1. How have you desired God’s “vineyard” (protection and provision) but rejected offering his “fruit”?

2. What is the fruit God desires in our lives? What might that look like in our relationships?

3. Is there an area of your life you have been unwilling to offer your spiritual fruit to him? Examples (change of job, relationships, sinful habits, something you are to start doing, something you are to stop doing). See also Galatians 5:22-23

4. Discuss among yourselves how we are saved ONLY by grace yet expected to have fruit (works) in our life. (“We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves us will never be alone. It will always be accompanied by good works.)
