For the parable (the Parable of the Tenants) some main points were:
- The owner demonstrated amazing patience - symbolizing God's patience
- Great lengths were taking to send messenger after messenger to reach the workers - far more than we show in our lives
- In the end, the owner sends his son to appeal to the workers - to turn them from their wicked ways. Instead, thinking the vineyard would now be theirs, they killed the son.

- Write a message from God to you with a specific warning or instructions about what God wants to see change in your life. After you've written it, either ignore it, by ripping it up, or believe it, by taking it, reading it aloud and putting it in a safe spot.
