First Cary UMC's First on Chatham Sermon – Rev. Brittany Absher-Baer  – August 31, 2025

Scripture: Matthew 20:1-16

On Labor Day weekend, Matthew 20:1-16 reminds us that in God’s kingdom, our worth is not measured by our work, but by God’s grace and generosity. Just as the landowner gives every worker the same wage, God offers his love freely, not based on merit but on his goodness. Instead of comparing our efforts to others, may we celebrate the gift of grace and approach our work with gratitude, remembering that all we have is a gift from God.
