An Attempted Takeover

Jesus taught a story of an attempted takeover by vine-growers in order to reveal that we are either for or against Him.

1. God patiently provided well for His vineyard - many gifts and faithful messengers - expecting good fruit. (v.1-5)
2. God's well-loved Son was sent, rejected, vindicated. (v.6-10)
3. If we won't receive God's Son/messengers, we are fighting God. (v.11-12)
