There's a place
Where mercy reigns and never dies
There's a place
Where streams of grace flow deep and wide
Where all the love I've ever found
Comes like a flood comes flowing down

I owe all to You
I owe all to You

I've ever found
Comes like a flood comes flowing down

Mar 22, 2026 "Turning Off the Spiritual Autopilot" (Matthew 24:36-46)
Matthew 24:36-46 New
International Version
The Day and Hour Unknown
36 “But about that day or hour
no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[a]
but only the Father.
37 As it was in the days of
Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
38 For in the days before the
flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the
day Noah entered the ark;
39 and they knew nothing about
what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will
be at the coming of the Son of Man.
40 Two men will be in the field;
one will be taken and the other left.
41 Two women will be grinding
with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
42 “Therefore keep watch, because
you do not know on what day your Lord will come.
43 But understand this: If
the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he
would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.
44 So you also must be ready,
because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
45 “Who then is the faithful
and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household
to give them their food at the proper time?
46 It will be good for that
servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
Turning Off the Spiritual Autopilot
Matthew 24:36-46
For people who have had a lot of problems or hardship, the end times passage in Matthew does not seem to give much comfort. Jesus gave this message shortly beforehand was tried and crucified. Yet, Jesus could not bear to keep this message to himself because He wanted to warn us of what is to come.
Jesus reminds us of the first great disaster in Noah's time.
Matthew 24:38-39 ESV
[38] For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, [39] and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Marrying, eating and drinking are not sins. But being too busy with our ordinary lives, can make us spiritually asleep. We start to ignore God and make Jesus less and less important in our lives.
Our hearts become asleep. We do not have trembling hearts or aching to become closer to God. Our work, lifestyle and other concerns shape our decisions and push us.
Jesus wants us to wake up. Jesus wants us to know what He did and suffered for us. Two days before he died, Jesus prayed. Jesus knew what he was going to endure. He asked his three most trusted disciples to pray with him and stay awake.
Matthew 26:38 ESV
[38] Then he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch with me.”
The disciples fell asleep. Not because they hated Jesus or wanted Jesus to fail. They loved Jesus, but they were tired.
Matthew 26:40-43 ESV
[40] And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour? [41] Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” [42] Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done.” [43] And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
Jesus fought in prayer a spiritual battle. He was beaten and crucified suffering physically and carrying all our sins and shame. Jesus continues to fight for us, and many of us continue to sleep.
Some may be tempted to go to extremes and give away all their time and money. To fill their lives with busy church work. Yet, what does Jesus say?
Matthew 24:45-46 ESV
[45] “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? [46] Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.
Jesus wants us to do the work given to us and be awake. Not to just passively wait, but to actively wait. That is to give their food at the proper time. That is to repent from those things that keep us from God and to fill up that with the good works he has given us. To love others as Jesus would love them.
Carrying the heart of Jesus takes concern and effort. Moving through our Christian walk on autopilot is not what Jesus wants. We need to be conscious and make deliberate efforts to follow Jesus.
Jesus' response to the disciples who had slept was not of condemnation or revenge. It was a call to action
Matthew 26:45-46 ESV
[45] Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Sleep and take your rest later on. See, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. [46] Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand."
Jesus wants us to love others as He loved us. Jesus wants us to reach out to the unsaved and tell them the good news. To reach out to the suffering and show His great love. Let us rise to the occasion.

The Cost of Following Jesus
57 As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”
The Demands of Discipleship
Luke 14:25-27, 33, 9:57-62
These days in Korea and other countries where you can worship freely, it can seem that it is more of a trend to follow Jesus. Everyone is going to church, reading their Bible or going to early morning prayer. However, what does Jesus say to the crowds you want to follow him.
Luke 14:26 ESV
[26] “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
There is no rival to Jesus. If we claim to be followers of Jesus, nothing can equal or be more than Jesus. Jesus warns us that we need to consider the costs.
Jesus uses strong language. Hate is a strong word, but He stresses that Jesus needs to be first in our lives so much that it would seem like we hate everything else.
Jesus goes on to further to the crowds that total obedience is needed.
Luke 14:27 ESV
[27] Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.
We might attend every worship service, never miss a quiet time and read our Bible diligently; however, if we are not obedient to Jesus Christ, it does not matter. We have to bear our cross and endure our suffering and avoid the earthly pleasure.
Before his message to the crowds above, he told others that if they are to follow Him, there is no retreat.
Luke 9:59-62 ESV
[59] To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” [60] And Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” [61] Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” [62] Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
There are many examples of Christians who have given up their lives, their families and everything they considered valuable. Others have suffered in their lives experiencing tragedies and miseries, yet they follow Jesus without question.

Mar 8, 2026 “The economy of God”(Matthew 20:1-16)
Matthew 20:1-16 New
International Version
The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard
20 “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[a]
for the day and sent them into his vineyard.
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.’
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.’
8 “When evening came, the
owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their
wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.’
9 “The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius.
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.’
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.”
The Economy of God
Matthew 20:1-16
People care about fairness. No one wants to work for eight hours while someone else works only one hour and gets paid the same amount. In Matthew 20, the vineyard owner is not being fair to his workers.
Jesus starts the parable with a vineyard owner going to the marketplace to hire some workers early in the morning, sunrise. The owner finds some workers and hires them for one denarius to do a full day's work on his field. This is fair and normal.
The owner returns to the workers' market and finds more men just standing around. The men are standing around because they have no work, so the owner hires them and agrees to pay them a fair wage. He makes several return trips to the market. In fact, he makes three additional trips throughout the day, hiring more workers each time.
The owner then has his supervisor pay the last ones to start work first. This means the one who came first to work would see what the later workers received. This was intentional.
Jesus shows us in this parable that God desires to save everyone. when you come to God or what work you have done is inconsequential. It also makes us in the church reflect on how we have done this with God. We feel God is not fair when we see immature or weak Christians being saved while others who have given up so much receive the same.
God's justice is a rescue system. It is about bringing all broken people back together, not about ranking or selecting who will be saved or who will serve in the Kingdom of God.
Much like the workers hired later in the day, there are many of us who want to be with God and are waiting for His invitation. We might have received our invitation later than others and are grateful for this. We might have received our invitation earlier than others and should be still grateful that we are saved.
There was nothing the workers could do but wait to be hired. It is the same with our salvation. There is nothing we could do to be saved. Isn't it enough that we are saved as well as countless others?
