- 0:01Speaker 1: Haul right coming to you live from Alta, Monte Springs, Florida.
- 0:04Speaker 1: This is the Ember show, your host Ember. First and foremost,
- 0:07Speaker 1: let's get into prayer, Lord Father that arts in heaven.
- 0:09Speaker 1: I come to you in prayer to be able to
- 0:10Speaker 1: have the Holy Spirit be able to speak through this
- 0:12Speaker 1: mic and go through the listener's ears and be able
- 0:15Speaker 1: to reach their hearts and minds and be able to
- 0:17Speaker 1: apply these verses to their lives and the Lord Jesus
- 0:21Speaker 1: Christ name. I pray a men. And this is the
- 0:25Speaker 1: first take. It's not necessarily live. That's how I used
- 0:28Speaker 1: to do my podcast, so I'm kind of still doing
- 0:33Speaker 1: that process. I want to be able to use this
- 0:37Speaker 1: as a practice as well, not necessarily just preach and teach.
- 0:42Speaker 1: It's a practice. I'm getting accustomed to following Christ and
- 0:48Speaker 1: being able to be in these verses. And we're gonna
- 0:50Speaker 1: be a Matthew Chapter twenty tonight. We'll get through at
- 0:53Speaker 1: least the first fifteen verses. I want to highly encourage
- 0:58Speaker 1: you to be able to grab your bibles on your
- 1:00Speaker 1: bible lap and read along as you hear along. And
- 1:04Speaker 1: I'm excited because the Gospel of Matthew has been phenomenal.
- 1:08Speaker 1: And we are on chapter twenty, like I stated, and
- 1:14Speaker 1: I'm giving you a little bit of a leeway, a
- 1:17Speaker 1: little bit of time to grab that Bible because I
- 1:19Speaker 1: really highly encourage it. It's good to see it as
- 1:21Speaker 1: you hear it. Amen, So let's jump into it. And
- 1:24Speaker 1: the title is Jesus tells a story about some workers
- 1:29Speaker 1: in a man's field Matthew, Chapter twenty, verse one stage
- 1:32Speaker 1: Jesus said, I will tell you a story to show
- 1:36Speaker 1: what the Kingdom of Heaven is like. There was an
- 1:39Speaker 1: important man who had a field where he grew grapes.
- 1:43Speaker 1: He went out early in the morning. He wanted to
- 1:47Speaker 1: find some people who would work in his field. Verse two.
- 1:53Speaker 1: The master agreed with the workers that he would pay
- 1:58Speaker 1: them one silver coin for it day's work. Then he
- 2:02Speaker 1: sent them to the work to work in the field.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Verse three. The master went out again. About three hours later,
- 2:12Speaker 1: he saw some other men standing in the marketplace. They
- 2:16Speaker 1: had no work to do. Verse four. So the master
- 2:20Speaker 1: said to these men, you also go and work in
- 2:23Speaker 1: my field. I will pay you the right amount of
- 2:27Speaker 1: money verse five. So the workers went to the master's
- 2:30Speaker 1: field and started to work. The master went out again
- 2:34Speaker 1: at noon and he went again three hours after that.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Both times he sent men to his field to work
- 2:42Speaker 1: verse six. Two hours later a five, at five o'clock,
- 2:48Speaker 1: he went out again. He found more men who were
- 2:52Speaker 1: standing there, and they had no work to do. The
- 2:56Speaker 1: master asked them, why are you standing here all day
- 3:00Speaker 1: and you were not working? Verse seven. The men said
- 3:03Speaker 1: to the master, nobody has asked us to work for him.
- 3:07Speaker 1: So the master said to them, you also go now
- 3:10Speaker 1: and work in my field. Verse eight. Then the evening came.
- 3:16Speaker 1: The master of the field spoke to the man who
- 3:18Speaker 1: had authority over the workers. He said to him, tell
- 3:21Speaker 1: the workers to come here. Pay them their money. Began
- 3:25Speaker 1: with the workers who started to work at the end
- 3:27Speaker 1: of the day, finished with the workers who started first.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Verse nine. The workers who had come to work at
- 3:36Speaker 1: five o'clock in the evening received one silver coin each.
- 3:39Speaker 1: The workers who had come to work first thought that
- 3:43Speaker 1: they would receive more than the other workers, but each
- 3:46Speaker 1: of them also received one silver coin. See, I want
- 3:50Speaker 1: to talk about something in this verse that it's towards
- 4:01Speaker 1: God bless me. Excuse me. We're gonna put that on
- 4:08Speaker 1: so we definitely know we ain't at it. This is
- 4:11Speaker 1: where we're getting better and better. We're spiritually working. I
- 4:14Speaker 1: want to talk about that last verse right, because, and
- 4:19Speaker 1: this is non rehearsed, it does not matter if you
- 4:22Speaker 1: come first in the morning or in the afternoon or late.
- 4:27Speaker 1: You're still putting in the same amount of work. You're
- 4:29Speaker 1: still putting an amount of the same amount of time, right,
- 4:32Speaker 1: even if you aren't. What I get from this is
- 4:36Speaker 1: that those that first come right, almost like how we're
- 4:42Speaker 1: we have talked about in the last few episodes is
- 4:46Speaker 1: who's ever first will be last, Who's ever last will
- 4:49Speaker 1: be first? Right. You've heard that metaphor by Jesus himself, right,
- 4:54Speaker 1: and it's in the Bible. But it's like, we gotta
- 4:57Speaker 1: consider that everybody he has to eat, everybody has to
- 5:02Speaker 1: earn right, and those that came last working in the
- 5:11Speaker 1: fields were just as important as the ones that came
- 5:16Speaker 1: in the afternoon. The ones that came in the morning.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Does that matter? Being present and showing up is ninety
- 5:25Speaker 1: percent of it. Let God do the ten percent. Let's
- 5:28Speaker 1: keep going verse eleven. When they received their money, they
- 5:32Speaker 1: were not happy. They told the Master that he had
- 5:35Speaker 1: not been fair to them. Here we go verse twelve.
- 5:39Speaker 1: They said to him. Some of these other workers came
- 5:44Speaker 1: last and only worked for one hour, But you have
- 5:47Speaker 1: paid them the same money as you paid us, and
- 5:51Speaker 1: we have worked all day in the hot sun. Then
- 5:54Speaker 1: the master said to one of the workers, my friend,
- 5:57Speaker 1: I am being fair to you. You agreed to work
- 6:00Speaker 1: for one day and to receive one silver coin verse fourteen.
- 6:05Speaker 1: Take your money and go home. I chose to give
- 6:09Speaker 1: this last man the same amount of money as I
- 6:12Speaker 1: gave to you, Verse fifteen. It is my money. That
- 6:18Speaker 1: is a sentence. It is my money, so he can
- 6:20Speaker 1: conduct it and spread it out however he wants. I
- 6:24Speaker 1: can choose what to do with it. I want to
- 6:28Speaker 1: be kind to people and give them more than we agreed.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Does that make you upset? I love this. I love
- 6:39Speaker 1: this because I can totally relate as somebody that has
- 6:45Speaker 1: felt like I was underpaid. Right, and it was already
- 6:52Speaker 1: it was already agreed, you know what I mean that
- 6:56Speaker 1: that's how much that they were going to get paid.
- 6:59Speaker 1: And just because you see other workers getting the same
- 7:03Speaker 1: amount for I mean, either way, they still worked. Now
- 7:09Speaker 1: I can see how you could be a little aggravated
- 7:12Speaker 1: and you know, frustrated with that. Right being as somebody
- 7:16Speaker 1: that's worked all day, and especially in the hot and
- 7:19Speaker 1: the sun. But it's almost like they're focusing too much
- 7:22Speaker 1: on other people's profit right or their wage. I'm sorry.
- 7:30Speaker 1: So this is what Jesus said, then, Matthew, Chapter twenty,
- 7:34Speaker 1: verse sixteen. Jesus then said, so one day, those people
- 7:38Speaker 1: who are not important now will become the most important.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Who's ever first will be last, Who's ever last will
- 7:46Speaker 1: be first. I just talked about that. Those people who
- 7:49Speaker 1: are very important now will become the least important. We're
- 7:52Speaker 1: gonna keep going. Where are we at on time? Yes,
- 7:56Speaker 1: let's just keep going. I know I said I was
- 7:59Speaker 1: gonna just do the first fifteen verses, but this is
- 8:02Speaker 1: really good. Before verse seventeen, it is titled Jesus talks
- 8:07Speaker 1: again about his death. He's a little psychic, and he
- 8:11Speaker 1: knew what was coming. Jesus and his disciples were going
- 8:15Speaker 1: towards Jerusalem. As they walked along, Jesus took his twelve
- 8:20Speaker 1: disciples away from the other people. He wanted to speak
- 8:24Speaker 1: to them alone. Verse eighteen. He said to them, listen,
- 8:29Speaker 1: we are going to Jerusalem. There someone will give the
- 8:33Speaker 1: Son of Man to the leaders of the priests and
- 8:37Speaker 1: the teachers of God's law. He was talking about Judas.
- 8:43Speaker 1: These Jewish leaders will decide that he must die verse nineteen.
- 8:50Speaker 1: Then they will put him under the power of people
- 8:55Speaker 1: who are not Jews. Those people will laugh at him,
- 8:58Speaker 1: they will hit him with whips. Then they will kill
- 9:03Speaker 1: him on a cross. But after three days he will
- 9:06Speaker 1: become alive again. Hey men, Praise God, Praise Jesus, Praise
- 9:10Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. And that's just the way I say it.
- 9:13Speaker 1: You don't have to say it like me. And that's
- 9:14Speaker 1: the one thing I also want to talk about before
- 9:17Speaker 1: I really dive in deep to we were able to
- 9:20Speaker 1: get to nineteen verse nineteen one through nineteen. Everybody has
- 9:25Speaker 1: their own personal way of praying, praising, and reading the Bible.
- 9:32Speaker 1: I want you to understand, do not be fooled by
- 9:36Speaker 1: some of these religious leaders. There is no wronger right way.
- 9:41Speaker 1: The main thing to focus on, and this is a
- 9:45Speaker 1: spirit talking is that you have that relationship with Jesus Christ.
- 9:51Speaker 1: That is the main important thing. It's not all about
- 9:55Speaker 1: just going to church, it's not all about just reading
- 9:58Speaker 1: the Bible. Believing the Bible is really the most important thing.
- 10:04Speaker 1: Because these are right, these gospels, these different gospels you'll
- 10:09Speaker 1: hear a lot of people say that are not believers,
- 10:12Speaker 1: or or believers one time, or whatever the case may be. Oh,
- 10:16Speaker 1: the Bible just repeats itself. No, it does not. It
- 10:19Speaker 1: is literally different perspectives from different people accounting the same thing. Right.
- 10:26Speaker 1: But they also weren't really necessarily always working together. They
- 10:32Speaker 1: were writing their own what they witnessed. So let's get
- 10:37Speaker 1: into it a little deeper though. Being able to know
- 10:42Speaker 1: what's coming, prepare for the worst, right, expect expectations. Gone
- 11:00Speaker 1: through this, you have probably gone through this the listener.
- 11:03Speaker 1: Having expectations on people, places, and things will let you down.
- 11:08Speaker 1: It has over and over has let me down. And
- 11:15Speaker 1: the truth will set you free. But it also will
- 11:19Speaker 1: hurt you a little bit, you know, being able to
- 11:22Speaker 1: change is the pain growths as well. But when we're
- 11:26Speaker 1: getting deeper into this, Jesus talks about his death, He's
- 11:30Speaker 1: telling the people closest to him what's gonna happen so
- 11:34Speaker 1: that they canness this, witness it right, what he said,
- 11:37Speaker 1: and then how he would rise from the grave. Now
- 11:40Speaker 1: being able to be tapped into the Holy Spirit, there's
- 11:47Speaker 1: always going to be when you are in danger, the
- 11:53Speaker 1: Spirit will lead you out will show you a way out,
- 11:56Speaker 1: whether it's a way to protect you or if it's
- 11:59Speaker 1: a way to tug you and make you feel some
- 12:05Speaker 1: type of way and think some type of way. Like
- 12:07Speaker 1: a lot of people don't understand that the spiritual welfare
- 12:12Speaker 1: in the battle is that you have to decide and
- 12:15Speaker 1: you have to pray heavily to Jesus, because sometimes it's
- 12:22Speaker 1: the spirit that's talking to you right and giving you
- 12:26Speaker 1: these emotions and giving you these thoughts, and sometimes it's
- 12:32Speaker 1: the demons. And if you don't have that relationship with Jesus,
- 12:36Speaker 1: you're not going to be able to tell the difference.
- 12:39Speaker 1: You're going to be confused, and confusion brings bad decisions. Right,
- 12:47Speaker 1: I've been there. I'm not here to condemn you. This
- 12:50Speaker 1: is Bible study. This is Bible study. The Ember show away,
- 12:54Speaker 1: and thank you for pressing play. If we're about to
- 12:57Speaker 1: close out here soon, and I want to go ahead
- 13:00Speaker 1: and give this remainding time to My experience in not
- 13:09Speaker 1: only recovery but following Christ and being able to do so,
- 13:13Speaker 1: is that I also someone found me that is now
- 13:20Speaker 1: very important to me. I cared deeply for them. They
- 13:25Speaker 1: could do no wrong. Besides, well, I mean if she
- 13:28Speaker 1: cheats on me, that's a whole different story. But anything
- 13:33Speaker 1: besides that, right, I will continue to always be loyal
- 13:42Speaker 1: to this person because I want to explain why for
- 13:47Speaker 1: twenty years I was a believer in Jesus Christ, and
- 13:51Speaker 1: no matter what I did, no matter where I went,
- 13:57Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit was present, even when I pushed it
- 14:02Speaker 1: away and wanted to live my own way. So now
- 14:06Speaker 1: being on the flip side of the believer standpoint, being
- 14:13Speaker 1: a follower of Christ, it's it's such a beautiful thing
- 14:18Speaker 1: to be able to have a significant other, to be
- 14:22Speaker 1: able to bounce ideas off of right, and not only that,
- 14:25Speaker 1: be able to be of encouragement and just be a
- 14:27Speaker 1: listening ear. You know I'm not perfect at it. I
- 14:31Speaker 1: know that the relationship I have with Jesus is going
- 14:34Speaker 1: to be able to benefit my relationships moving forward as
- 14:37Speaker 1: a follower, and I highly encourage you to just get
- 14:39Speaker 1: more deeper into prayer. Everything else will take it self.
- 14:44Speaker 1: It will take s, it'll take root. This is the
- 14:47Speaker 1: Ember show your host Ember. Thank you for pressing play.
- 14:50Speaker 1: This is m Matthew Chapter twenty, Verses one through seventeen.
