SCRIPTURE Matthew 20:1-16(NKJV) The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. 2 Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4 and said to them, You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. So they went. 5 Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, Why have you been standing here idle all day? 7 They said to him, Because no one hired us. He said to them, You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive. 8 So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first. 9 And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius. 10 But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius. 11 And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner, 12 saying, These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day. 13 But he answered one of them and said, Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? 14 Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you. 15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good? 16 So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen. LEADER: This is the Word of God CONGREGATION: Thanks Be Unto God 4
RESPONSIVE READING Psalm 1:1-6(NKJV) LEADER: Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; CONG: But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. LEADER: He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, CONG: Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. LEADER: Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. ALL: For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish. 5
Since Jesus Came Into My Heart What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought Since Jesus came into my heart; I have light in my soul for which long I have sought, Since Jesus came into my heart. Chorus: Since Jesus came into my heart, Since Jesus came into my heart; Floods of joy o er my soul like sea billows roll, Since Jesus came into my heart. I have ceased from my wan-d ring and going astray, Since Jesus came into my heart; And my sins which were many are all washed away Since Jesus came into my heart. I m possessed of a hope that is steadfast and sure, Since Jesus came into my heart; And no dark clouds of doubt now my pathway obscure, Since Jesus came into my heart. I shall go there to dwell in that City I know, Since Jesus came into my heart; And I m happy, so happy as onward I go, Since Jesus came into my heart. 6
