God’s Grace Isn’t Fair | Pastor Dara Schuller-Hanson | September 20, 2026
In this sermon, we return to the parable of the vineyard workers from Matthew’s Gospel, where laborers who worked vastly different hours receive the exact same pay. Jesus uses this story to reveal something profound and unsettling about the nature of God’s grace: it is not based on merit, effort, or fairness. It is a generous, unearned gift offered to everyone through Jesus Christ. This message also draws connections to the parable of the prodigal son and reflects on what it looks like to celebrate God’s grace even when it comes to people we think don’t deserve it.
