(ESV)\n\n        In our readings for the next few weeks, we are looking\n   forward to the consummation of the age when Jesus returns to\n   judge the living and the dead.  Knowing that we cannot earn our\n   salvation, we pray for God's grace to keep us in the one true\n   faith.\n        O Lord, grant to Your faithful people pardon and peace\n        that they may be cleansed from all their sins and serve\n        You with a quiet mind.\n\n\n        At Jesus' first coming, those who should have recognized Him\n   from their study of the Scriptures failed to see the fulfillment\n   of God's promise to send a Redeemer.  The Church turned inward,\n   looking at the trappings of power, not at the love of God.  The\n   chief priests, the scribes, and the other leaders of the Temple\n   lost sight of their stewardship of God's rich blessings, and\n   sought to take what belongs to God for their own purposes.\n\n        At the proper time, God the Father sent His Son into this\n   world to claim that which is His own.  The love of God's people\n   had grown cold.  Although the tenants knew they were not the\n   owner of the vineyard, they had been in charge so long they\n   actually forgot their obligations.\n\n        And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed\n        another, and stoned another.  Again he sent other\n        servants, more than the first. And they did the same to\n        them.\n\n\n        Time and again God sent the prophets to say, ``Repent, for\n   the kingdom of heaven is at hand.''  He longed to give to His\n   people that which was good, both in time and in eternity.  Yet\n   His people turned their backs and rejected to call to recognize\n   their God.\n\n        May our Lord grant us faith to hear His Word of grace and\n   mercy.  Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October 20, 2026 Broadcast The Vineyard &#8211; Part 2 Matthew 21:35-36 10\/20\/2026 35 And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again he &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/2026\/10\/20\/the-vineyard-part-2\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;The Vineyard &#8211; Part 2&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5407","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5407","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5407"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5407\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5408,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5407\/revisions\/5408"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5407"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
