I was sinking deep in sin Far from the peaceful shore Very deeply stained within

Sinking to rise no more

I was sinking deep in sin Far from the peaceful shore Very deeply stained within

Sinking to rise no more

But the master of the sea Heard my despairing cry

From the waters lifted me Now safe am I

But the master of the sea Heard my despairing cry

From the waters lifted me Now safe am I

Love lifted me Love lifted me

When nothing else could help Love lifted me

All my heart to Him I give Ever to Him I’ll cling

In His blessed presence live Ever His praises sing

All my heart to Him I give Ever to Him I’ll cling

In His blessed presence live Ever His praises sing

Love so mighty and so true Merits my soul’s best songs Faithful loving service too

To Him belongs

Love so mighty and so true Merits my soul’s best songs Faithful loving service too

To Him belongs

Souls in danger look aboveJesus completely saves

Our TimeOf Prayer

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

CCLI #606984

What a friend we have in Jesus

All our sins and griefs to bear

What a privilege to carry

Ev’ry thing to God in prayer

Oh what peace we often forfeit

Oh what needless pain we

All because we do not carry

Have we trials and

temptations

Is there trouble anywhere

We should never be

discouraged

Take it to the Lord in prayer

Can we find a friend so faithful

Who will all our burdens share

Jesus knows our ev’ry

weakness

Are we weak and heavy laden

Cumbered with a load of care

Precious Savior still our refuge

Do thy friends despise forsake

In his arms he’ll take and shield

Thou will find a solace there

Word and Message

Darryl Crim

Series:The King and His Kingdom

Sermon:Kingdom Rejection

Scripture:Matthew 21:23-22:14

Matthew 21:23-22:14 ( NASB ) 23 When He entered the temple, the chief

priests and the elders of the people came to Him while He was teaching, and said, “By what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

24 Jesus said to them, “I will also ask you one thing, which if you tell Me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things.

25 “The baptism of John was from what source, from heaven or from men?” And they began reasoning among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say to us, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’

26 “But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the people; for they all regard John as a prophet.”

27 And answering Jesus, they said, “We do not know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

28 “But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, ‘Son, go work today in the vineyard.’

29 “And he answered, ‘I will not’; but afterward he regretted it and went.

30 “The man came to the second and said the same thing; and he answered, ‘I will, sir’; but he did not go.

31 “Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the kingdom of God before you.

32 “For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him; but the tax collectors and prostitutes did believe him; and you, seeing this, did not even feel remorse afterward so as to believe him.

33 “Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard and put a wall around it and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and rented it out to vine-growers and went on a journey.

34 “When the harvest time approached, he sent his slaves to the vine-growers to receive his produce.

35 “The vine-growers took his slaves and beat one, and killed another, and stoned a third.

36 “Again he sent another group of slaves larger than the first; and they did the same thing to them.

37 “But afterward he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

38 “But when the vine-growers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.’

39 “They took him, and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

40 “Therefore when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-growers?”

41 They said to Him, “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end, and will rent out the vineyard to other vine-growers who will pay him the proceeds at the proper seasons.”

42 Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected, This became the chief corner stone; This came about from the Lord, And it is marvelous in our eyes’?

43 “Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people, producing the fruit of it.

44 “And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust.”

45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard His parables, they understood that He was speaking about them.

46 When they sought to seize Him, they feared the people, because they considered Him to be a prophet.

1 Jesus spoke to them again in parables,

saying,2 “The kingdom of heaven may be

compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son.

3 “And he sent out his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast, and they were unwilling to come.

4 “Again he sent out other slaves saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened livestock are all butchered and everything is ready; come to the wedding feast.”’

5 “But they paid no attention and went their way, one to his own farm, another to his business,

6 and the rest seized his slaves and mistreated them and killed them.

7 “But the king was enraged, and he sent his armies and destroyed those murderers and set their city on fire.

8 “Then he said to his slaves, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

9 ‘Go therefore to the main highways, and as many as you find there, invite to the wedding feast.’

10 “Those slaves went out into the streets and gathered together all they found, both evil and good; and the wedding hall was filled with dinner guests.

11 “But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes,

12 and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?’ And the man was speechless.

13 “Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

14 “For many are called, but few are chosen.”
