Church of the Resurrection recently issued the following announcement.

Isaiah 55:6-9; Philippians 1:20c-24, 27a; Matthew 20:1-16a

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,” says Yahweh through the prophet in today’s first reading … and nothing says it better than Jesus’ parable about workers hired at different times throughout the day who all get the same daily pay. It’s when Jesus disturbs us the most that we have the most to learn. The idea of “what’s fair” is written deep in our DNA. God, however, lives by another concept: graciousness. What do you find disturbing about this parable from Matthew? What does that irritation say about how we think we relate to God?
