In this sermon, Pastor Robideau examines the parable of the householder and his vineyard from Matthew 21. He unpacks the investments the householder made - planting, hedging, digging a winepress, building a tower, and hiring workers. This parable shows how God has invested greatly in us, His "vineyard." The sermon challenges us to honor these investments by being faithful, profitable servants in God's kingdom.

The Householder's Investment
In this sermon, Pastor Robideau explores the biblical truth that we are "but men" - mere human beings with limitations, not all-powerful gods. He examines how this reality should shape our attitudes and actions in areas like relationships, success, knowledge, and health. Drawing from Scripture, the pastor encourages trusting in God's sovereignty rather than our own understanding.

We Are But Men
Pastor Robideau examines Peter's predicted denial of Jesus, focusing on the warning signs that led to Peter's fall. Through passages in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, he identifies four key problems in Peter's response: lifting himself above other believers, thinking he knew better than Scripture, leading others in rebellion, and being overly focused on immediate desires rather than God's timing. The message reminds us that even strong believers can fall through pride, and shows how Jesus cares about our individual spiritual growth even while carrying out His greatest work. Preached Wednesday evening, November 13th, 2024 from the pulpit of Valley Baptist Temple, an independent baptist church in Fairlawn, OH.
