In this sermon, Richard discusses two parables from Matthew 21 & 22, focusing on the Vineyard metaphor and the religious leaders’ rebellion against God’s authority. We are reminded how the owner’s care for the Vineyard symbolizes God’s love and protection for His people.

We are also warned about the consequences of rejecting God’s invitation and the need for genuine repentance. ~~~ Get your Personal Study Guide to go with the series: https://ruc.org.za/matthew Plan a visit to Rosebank Union Church in Sandton, Johannesburg https://ruc.org.za/visit
