My Boss Is Crazy | Hidden In Plain Sight | Pastor Rob Koke | Shoreline Church | Full Service

God’s grace isn’t fair—and that’s the best news ever. In this powerful (and yes, a little crazy) message from our *Hidden in Plain Sight* series, Pastor Rob unpacks one of Jesus’ most surprising parables: the workers in the vineyard (Matthew 20:1–16). It’s a story that flips our idea of fairness upside down and reveals the outrageous generosity of God.

The kingdom of God doesn’t run on performance—it runs on grace. Whether you’ve followed Jesus your whole life or met Him at the last possible moment, the reward is the same: eternal life, freely given.
