Whose Vineyard?
The Rev. Dr. Alix Pridgen
In Jesus’ parable of the wicked tenants, stewardship slowly turns into ownership, and what has been entrusted begins to feel like something that must be defended. But the vineyard belongs to God—and so do the lives, relationships, creation, and gifts we so desperately try to hold onto. This sermon explores the freedom of receiving life as gift and trusting that, beyond the reach of our hands, God is still at work—giving the growth, opening the future, and tending everything God loves.
