The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending

Sermon Study Guide
Compassion
Alan Zacher
1 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.
2 After agreeing with the workers on one denarius, he sent them into his vineyard for the day.
3 When he went out about nine in the morning, he saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing.
4 He said to them, ‘You also go into my vineyard, and I’ll give you whatever is right.’ So off they went.
5 About noon and about three, he went out again and did the same thing.
6 Then about five he went and found others standing around and said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day doing nothing?’
7 “‘Because no one hired us,’ they said to him. “‘You also go into my vineyard,’ he told them.
8 When evening came, the owner of the vineyard told his foreman, ‘Call the workers and give them their pay, starting with the last and ending with the first.’
9 “When those who were hired about five came, they each received one denarius.
10 So when the first ones came, they assumed they would get more, but they also received a denarius each.
11 When they received it, they began to complain to the landowner:
12 ‘These last men put in one hour, and you made them equal to us who bore the burden of the day’s work and the burning heat.’
13 “He replied to one of them, ‘Friend, I’m doing you no wrong. Didn’t you agree with me on a denarius?
14 Take what’s yours and go. I want to give this last man the same as I gave you.
15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with what is mine? Are you jealous because I’m generous?’
16 “So the last will be first, and the first last.”
Matthew 20:1-16 CSB

The Christian life is designed to be transferred relationally and journeyed together. You need to “rope in”– brother to brother and sister to sister – on a weekly basis so that together we can draw near to God and join him in his kingdom work.
This is an exploration – commit and prepare for a long and rewarding journey.

Ministry of the Month
From Kristin:
I work with national partners all over the world, but am currently based in Arizona. While I’m based in AZ, I will Lord willing soon be traveling to visit national partners in the Middle East and Asia.
My calling is to use my gifts in Bible scholarship and my multicultural background to serve the global church, particularly for purposes of growing church unity, and helping the church to fulfill its peacemaking commission from Christ. My work is all about 1) bridging cultural gaps to deepen our understanding and love for God’s Word, and 2) breaking down dividing walls of hostility according to Eph. 2:11-22, so that we can be one even as Christ and the Father are one, and so that we can be a display of His glory to the world.
Right now, I’m working on my PhD in Bible and cross-cultural missiology, and have just begun to collaborate on a very exciting project with another organization based in AZ. This organization has an entire team of people who do exactly the kind of training and resource development work that I’m called to do, and I have the privilege of joining them on The Ephesians 2 Gospel Project, where we are using Ephesians 2 to develop resources made by and for the global church, to help Christians everywhere to address conflict and violence with the gospel, and to give us new tools for reaching our neighbors with Christ’s gospel of peace.
Prayer Requests:
- I praise God for the truly miraculous ways that He brought me in contact with The Ephesians 2 Gospel Project, and the many more-than-coincidental ways that He has provided for my financial needs, and for this project thus far.
- Please pray with me for God’s continued provision on The Ephesians 2 Gospel Project, and on my PhD work.
- Pray for the strength and wisdom necessary to do this work, that the attacks of the Enemy against us would be thwarted, and that financial provisions would continue to come in and increase.
