Faith and Works

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may Your Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You have given us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.
Dear Lord please help us have enough patience and understanding with compassion to show others that we care for them and want the best for them as we seek Your Kingdom for ourselves may we find ways to acknowledge and demonstrate our faith by our works, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Mt 21:33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
Mt 21:34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
Mt 21:35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
Mt 21:36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
Mt 21:37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 
Mt 21:38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
Mt 21:39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. 
Mt 21:40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
Mt 21:41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. 
Mt 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 
Mt 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 
Mt 21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 
Mt 21:45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
Mt 21:46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.  

Jas 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 
Jas 2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
Jas 2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
Jas 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Jas 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
