Strange that your sermon is so much different from our pastor’s today. He had the parable of the workers going into the vineyard early, and other hours until the 11th hour and all were paid the same wages.
The earliest workers complained that they should have been paid more for working all day, until he said they agreed to work for said wages.
Not so strange, really. Your pastor did the regular Gospel reading for this Sunday after Pentecost. I chose to do the Gospel for St. Matthew’s festival, which happens to fall on September 21. Otherwise, I would have done the same readings as he did.
