Welcome to Wellspring Church!
Why does grace offend us? In this week’s message, Dr. Mark Young unpacks the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20) to show how Jesus’ teaching about the Kingdom of God upends everything we assume about fairness, worth and reward.
Through a rich explanation of the parable’s context, we see that the landowner’s generosity—paying all workers the same wage regardless of hours worked—wasn’t unjust, it was grace. This kind of grace doesn’t play by the world’s rules. It’s shocking, lavish, even scandalous—and it mirrors the grace God shows us in Christ.
📖 Key Themes in This Message:
🔹 The radical difference between justice, mercy and grace
🔹 Why grace violates our sense of fairness—and why that matters
🔹 The human condition as helpless and undeserving before God
🔹 Faith as the only way to receive grace—not effort, not worthiness
Grace isn’t logical. It’s extravagant. And it’s never too late to receive it. Whether you’ve walked with Jesus for decades or are just beginning to listen for His voice, His grace is the same. Full. Free. Unearned.
