PARABLES #8 | The Two Sons | August 21, 2022 Brian Priebe | Executive Pastor Matthew 21:28-32 (NIV) “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.’ “‘I will not,’ he answered, but later he changed his mind and went. “Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but he did not go. “Which of the two did what his father wanted?” “The first,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him." Andy Stanley’s Principle: “Do for one what you wish you could do for all.” Two Types of Sin: 1) Sin of Commission 2) Sin of Omission “The theology that matters is not the theology we profess, but the theology we practice.” Francis Chan INTENTIONAL act of LOVE Reflection Questions: 1) Re-read Matthew 21:28-32. What stands out to you about the 1st and 2nd sons' responses to their father's command? 2) Sins of Omission are a failure to DO what we know God commands - a sin of inactivity. What is an area where you see you need to change your behavior and do what God has commanded? 3) Do you have names of people that you can offer an intentional act of love this month? Hint - they may be among the poor, orphans, widows, or your neighbors.
