Guest Pastor Bryan Fagerstrom shares a thought-provoking message from Matt 20:1-16 titled “Grace Mathematics: It Just Doesn’t Add Up.” We all have ideas about what’s fair and what people deserve—but God’s grace often works in surprising ways. This message will challenge the way you think about comparison, reward, and the generosity of God. It’s a timely reminder that in God’s Kingdom, things don’t always add up the way we expect—and that’s a good thing.

Grace Mathematics: It just doesn’t add up
 Matthew 20:1-16

1. God’s grace challenges our idea of fairness.

The workers all received the same reward, no matter when they started.

2. Grace is not about what we earn, but about God’s generosity.

He gives freely because He is good.

3. Grace levels the playing field.

No one is greater or lesser in the kingdom—we all need mercy.

4. Live as people shaped by grace.

Don’t compare, don’t compete—receive and extend grace.
