I Stand Amazed
I stand amazed in the presence�Of Jesus the Nazarene�And wonder how He could love me�A sinner condemned unclean
How marvelous how wonderful�And my song shall ever be�How marvelous how wonderful�Is my Savior's love for me
He took my sins and my sorrows�He made them His very own�He bore the burden to Calvary�And suffered and died alone
How marvelous how wonderful�And my song shall ever be�How marvelous how wonderful�Is my Savior's love for me
And with the ransomed in glory�His face I at last shall see�’Twill will be my joy
through the ages�To sing of His love for me
How marvelous how wonderful�And my song shall ever be�How marvelous how wonderful�Is my Savior's love for me
You are my strength
When I am weak�You are the treasure
That I seek�You are my all in all
Seeking You as a precious
jewel�Lord to give up I’d be a fool�You are my all in all
Taking my sin my cross
my shame�Rising again I bless Your
name�You are my all in all
When I fall down You pick
me up�When I am dry You fill my
cup�You are my all in all
Jesus Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name
Jesus Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name
You are my strength
When I am weak�You are the treasure
That I seek�You are my all in all
Seeking You as a precious
jewel�Lord to give up I’d be a fool�You are my all in all
Jesus Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name
Jesus Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name
Scripture Reading
Matthew 20:10–16
Matthew 20:10–16
10 So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. 11 When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. 12 ‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’
Matthew 20:10–16
13 “But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? 14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. 15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’ 16 “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”
Great Are You Lord
You give life You are love�You bring light to the
darkness�You give hope, You restore
Ev’ry heart that is broken
And great are You Lord
It’s Your breath in our lungs�So we pour out our praise�We pour out our praise
It’s Your breath in our lungs�So we pour out our praise
To You only
You give life You are love�You bring light to the
darkness�You give hope, You restore
Ev’ry heart that is broken
And great are You Lord
It’s Your breath in our lungs�So we pour out our praise�We pour out our praise
It’s Your breath in our lungs�So we pour out our praise
To You only
And all the earth
Will shout Your praise�Our hearts will cry
These bones will sing�Great are You Lord�(3x)
It’s Your breath in our lungs�So we pour out our praise�We pour out our praise
It’s Your breath in our lungs�So we pour out our praise
To You only

Is God Unfair?
Matthew 20:1–16
Is God Unfair?
God’s grace is undeserved.

Matthew 20:1–16
1 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.
Matthew 20:1–16
3 “About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. 4 He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’
Matthew 20:1–16
5 So they went. “He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing. 6 About five in the afternoon he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’ 7 “ ‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. “He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’
