Title:
William H. Willimon - "The Invitation" (April 29, 1990)
Description:

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1) 17:45. Sermon end time: (Part 1) 41:30.

  • The preacher interprets the parable of “hiring workers to work in the vineyard” as a story about the generosity of the vineyard owner rather than about justice according to human perception. The preacher argues that the Kingdom of God is not about being given ''what you deserve," but is, instead, about an invitation. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
