In this sermon, Evangelist Martha P. Davis reflects on Luke 20, where Jesus is questioned about His authority by the religious leaders. She highlights that Christ’s authority came directly from God, not from men, and that His words and works were Spirit-led. Using the parable of the vineyard, she shows how the leaders of Israel rejected God’s messengers and ultimately His Son, fulfilling the prophecy of the stone the builders rejected, becoming the chief cornerstone. Evangelist Davis warns against hardened hearts that resist truth, reminding listeners that to fall humbly on Christ brings life and freedom, but to resist Him brings judgment. She encourages believers to honor Jesus’ authority, live by the Word of God, and walk in the hope of resurrection life, for He is not the God of the dead but of the living.
