This weekend, we’re invited into the story to think about the parable of the two sons who are asked to go work in the vineyard. The first responds that he ‘doesn’t want to go’ and then changes his mind, while the second says, ‘he will go,’ and then he also changes his mind.
Which one did the will of the father?
Read Matthew 21:23-32 (if you have time, include the first 22 verses – they are important for the discussion).

Unlocking the Mystery of God’s Generosity
An audio message for number 3 in the series Counter Cultural Keys of God's kingdom.
In our 21st Century culture, we’re urged to strive for success, to win, to have the latest and best of everything, to make something of ourselves – and to not be left behind. We expect rewards for our efforts. If a sibling or colleague receives a greater reward than us with less effort, we are quick to complain: “That’s not fair!”

Helping People Feel More than Welcome
Session 3. More than welcome to share stories with people who will listen
Time to listen…?
In the 21st Century culture, we have so many opportunities to fill our days with activities that we hardly have time to reflect and listen to our own inner world - let alone to others. We are resource rich, and time poor.
