Eyre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpHWSD-_1Bo Sermon Notes – Rev. Lloyd R. Eyre Sunday, May 30, 2021 Centennial FMC, Belleville, Ontario “It’s the Thought That Counts” Matthew 5:21-26 Introduction: Student Intern Pastor, Wesley Chapel Free Methodist Church, Toronto, Summer 1977. Rev. Vernon DeMille, Senior Pastor. Kigali, Rwanda - 1994. Thesis: Jesus goes behind the “act” to the “origin” of the act. It’s not the action of a hand that Jesus is primarily concerned about but it’s the thought process behind the action that matters. A. Anger – Matthew 5:22a B. “Raca” – Matthew 5:22b C. “You fool!” – Matthew 5:22c Application: How do we deal with anger? 1. Anger – Forgive as we have been forgiven. 2. “Raca” – Don’t call people names. 3. “You fool!” – Don’t gossip and don’t listen to gossip. Conclusion: Holiness does not have to do with “perfection.” It has to do with “intention.”

Eyre Sunday, June 13, 2021 Centennial FMC, Belleville, Ontario “The Unfair Nature of Grace” Matthew 20:1-16 A. The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard – Matthew 20:1-16 Two observations: 1. This is not a parable about employer employee relations but rather a parable about the Kingdom of Heaven. 2. This is a parable about grace. B. Grace – God’s Generosity C. Grace – God’s Generosity and Ours Question – Why were the laborer's hired at the 11th hour still available for work? D. Conclusion “I was fortunate–so magnificently fortunate!–to become a Christian when I was not quite eleven years old. I was hired early in the morning, at the beginning of life’s day. So it is that I have been blessed through all my life with a sense of life’s purpose, value, and beauty. How dare I, then, be bitter about those who have waited all day in the marketplace, if at the end of the journey they are blessed with an eternity as good as mine?” (page 92) Footnote – J. Ellsworth Kalas, “Parables from the Back Side: Bible Stories with a Twist.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXYPTQ3d5Sk
