Entitlement: The Rejected Cornerstone

The Potter's House·The Potter's House·1:49:53

In this 'Walk It Out Wednesday' message, Bishop T.D. Jakes delves into Jesus' parable of the vineyard owner and the wicked tenants, exposing the profound dangers of entitlement and the call to faithful stewardship. He highlights how the tenants, despite inheriting a finished work, failed to honor the owner, mirroring humanity's rebellion against God's grace. This leads to a powerful exploration of God's longsuffering nature and the ultimate sending of His Son, who became 'the stone the builders rejected' (Psalm 118:22, Matthew 21:42). Jakes emphasizes that this rejected stone is our true cornerstone, providing a foundation built on Christ rather than the fleeting approval of others. This sermon challenges listeners to walk by faith, setting their moral and spiritual plumb line according to Jesus alone, especially when feelings threaten to dictate their actions. The message also addresses critical questions like the distinction between pride and confidence, and the concept of retiring from what you do, but not who you are, offering practical wisdom for growing Christians navigating daily life.
