"The Stone Rejected" by Dave Sim || Mark 12:1-12 || March 03, 2024

Renew Covenant Church Sermons

God is generous and compassionate towards His people, even when they are unfaithful and rebellious. God does not give up on them, but sends them many messengers and opportunities to repent and return to Him. God’s grace is not limited by human boundaries or expectations, but extends to all who are willing to accept it. On the flip side, the parable also challenges us to examine our own role and response to God’s grace. We are called to be stewards of God’s creation, to care for the vineyard and to share its fruits with others. We are also accountable for our actions and choices, and we will face the consequences of rejecting or abusing God’s gifts. We cannot claim to be God’s people if we do not live according to God’s will. There is a contextually specific challenge to the religious leaders as they are the tenants and Jesus is the Son/cornerstone.
