Podcasts about wheat and weeds

Ever wondered why there are so many imposters and hypocrites in churches? What should we do about it? In this message, Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares insights both this topic from a story that Jesus told.  Why did Jesus use parables?Matthew 13:12-13a Jesus didn't use parables to make everything clear, but to make everyone think. Jesus' parables reveal people's hearts—they penetrate some hearts and they harden others. With His use of parables, Jesus isn't hiding truth FROM people; He's hiding it FOR people, in hopes that it draws them closer to Him. Questions to ask when reading a parable:1. Who does each character represent? 2. What is the surprise twist in the story? 3. What are the kingdom lessons behind each story?  Today's parable: The Wheat and the WeedsMatthew 13:24-30  The weeds in the story, are also called tares, but they're known today as darnel weed, often called false wheat. Jesus' explanationMatthew 13:36-43  3 Questions to ask:Who does each character represent?Jesus – FarmerThe field – the worldWheat – people who follow JesusWeeds – the people who don't follow JesusThe farmer's enemy – the devilThe harvest – the end of the worldThe harvesters – the angels What is the twist in the story?The farmer waited until harvest to sort the wheat from the weeds.28-30 God is playing the long game. God's justice is coming eventually, but God's mercy is here currently. What are the kingdom lessons in the story?1. It is often difficult to distinguish between believers and unbelievers, especially at the earliest stages of growth. We must be slow to declare which is which.Jude 1:22-23 NLT God is long-suffering towards those you find insufferable.This is why we don't throw people away when they make a mistake, when they struggle with sin, or when they're taking longer to "get it" than we think they should.Our father is a farmer and growing people takes time. 2. God is not calling you to be a holy weed eater.We have not been instructed to go in guns blazing, clearing out and cleaning up all we see wrong in someone's life. Why? Because sometimes, you look like a weed too.Galatians 6:1 NIV Christians shouldn't be passive against evil, but we're called to be patient with people.John 3:17 NLT If God didn't send Jesus into the world to judge the world, I doubt He sent you to judge it. 3. God's judgement is real, but not yet revealed.Romans 2:5 Some of you are too excited about the prospect of people going to hell. Others of you aren't concerned enough about people going to hell.Be angry at injustice, but trust the wisdom of the Lord of the harvest and share God's grace with others while we can.   Are you learning the lessons found in the parable of the wheat and the weeds?

Bill reflects on the thought; 'Why doesn't the Kingdom of God make more of a difference in the world? If it is real, why is the world like it is?' The post Parables of the Kingdom in Matthew 13 – The Wheat and Weeds first appeared on Hope Chapel.

Thursday - Genesis 7-8•. Friday - Genesis 9-11Home Church Questions 1. Have someone read the parable in Matt. 13:24-30. According to Matt. 13:36-43, what is this parable about?2. The lessons we learn from this parable help explain the Christian worldview. What is a worldview? Why is it important we understand what a worldview is?3. The first question that informs our worldview is: “how did we get here?” How does the Christian worldview explain how we got here and what are some examples of other worldviews that would answer this question differently? What difference should this make in our lives?4. The second question that informs our worldview is: “what is wrong?” In the parable, the enemy sows weeds in the good field. According to the Christian worldview, what is wrong? What is an example of a way you are experiencing the "weeds" of this broken world?5. The third question that informs our worldview is: “why are we here?” The Christian worldview says there is still meaning and purpose even though we live in a fallen world. What is the meaning/purpose of life according to the Christian worldview? What difference should this make in our lives?6. What are some reasons God allows us to remain in a fallen world with pain and suffering and weeds? How might your answer help you respond to the “weeds” you are experiencing right now?7. The fourth question that informs our worldview is: “where are we going?” According to this parable and the Christian worldview, what happens in the end? How is this different from other worldviews? What difference should this make in our lives?8. Who can you talk with about these big questions in hopes of talking about the Gospel? Which of the four questions do you think you would be most likely to “lean into” as you are talking with someone? Why? Mission Highlight - Pray for the Unreached: The Pashtun in Pakistan The Pashtun population stands at 32.7 million, with Islam as the predominant religion and Northern Pashto as the primary language. Christians constitute less than 0.1% of the population. Both written and oral versions of the complete Bible are available, but no movements of the gospel have been reported. Approximately 654 workers are needed, at a ratio of 1 worker per 50,000 people. Focus prayer on sending families to share Jesus' love and forgiveness, scripture translations in Pashto dialects, and inspiring household leaders to embrace Jesus and disciple others, so that Pashtun families turn to Christ and foster faith-based movements within their clans.FinancesWeekly Budget 35,297Giving For 10/13 20,813Giving For 10/20 35,240 YTD Budget 564,754 Giving 497,823 OVER/(UNDER) (66,931) Fellowship 101We invite you to join us on Sunday, November 10, at 9:00 a.m. to learn more about Fellowship.

Both unbelievers and believers will live together in this world until judgment day, where the believer will be glorified and the unbeliever will be sent to hell.

In part four of "I'm Hanging On His Words," Pastor Andrew's message, "Wheat And Weeds," teaches how our environment can outdo our condition.

In the gospels, Jesus gives many parables about sewing seed and it falling on good soil. Listen in as Abby Bailey guides through her personal studies in Matthew, and how we will be separated.

The deceitful work of the enemy in the world is a reality that will plague God's people until the day of judgement. However, we can rest assured that Jesus will sort out the wheat from the tares and make all things right.  Preached by Jared Kress on April 14th, 2024. Part of our series in the parables, "Tell Me a Story." Primary Text: Matthew 13:24-30 & 36-43. Join us in person Sundays at 10:30am at 6325 Poplar Ave, Memphis TN or online at https://www.kirbywoods.org/live. Follow us online! Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kirbywoodsmemphis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kirbywoodsmemphis YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kirbywoods Podcast: https://kirbywoodspodcast.buzzsprout.com

If the Kingdom of God arrived on earth in the person and ministry of Jesus, why is the world so full of evil, corruption, and pain? Jesus answers this question with a story about a farmer and his struggle with weeds. The world is full of good, but an enemy is at work sowing corruption.

Sunday, July 23, 2023 Sermon: Wheat And Weeds Together By The Rev. Dr. Agnes W. Norfleet by BrynMawrPres

In this sermon, based on Matthew 13, Pastor Scott delves into the parable of the wheat and the tares. Jesus speaks about the division of that which is desirable and undesirable to God, which points at the promise of God to sanctify each one of us. This is the assigned Gospel text for Sunday July 23, the 8th Sunday after Pentecost.

Sermon by Joel Solliday from July 23, 2023 at the Lewiston Church of Christ.

Wheat and Weeds | Rev. Jason Adams | Sanctuary Service | July 23, 2023

Jesus told a story of a field filled with wheat and weeds. When the farmhands asked the owner if they should pull the weeds he told them no, because they might uproot the wheat at the same time. This is a great metaphor for the church. We get so caught up in who is in and who is out, that we lose ourselves (and others) in the work of pulling what we believe are the weeds of the field. We should take Jesus' advice in this moment. The field is filled with wheat and weeds, just like the Kingdom of Heaven. And that's ok. Listen here for more.

Readings: Wisdom 12:13, 16–19 Psalm 86:5–6, 9–10, 15–16 Romans 8:26–27 Matthew 13:24–43 God is always teaching His people, as we hear in today's First Reading. And what does He want us to know? That He has care for all of us; that though He is a God of justice, even those who defy and disbelieve Him may hope for His mercy if they turn to Him in repentance. This divine teaching continues in the three parables that Jesus tells in the Gospel today. Each describes the emergence of the kingdom of God from the seeds sown by His works and preaching. The kingdom's growth is hidden like the working of yeast in bread; it's improbable, unexpected, as in the way the tall mustard tree grows from the smallest of seeds. Again, this week's readings sound a note of questioning: Why does God permit the evil to grow alongside the good? Why does He permit some to reject the Word of His kingdom? Because, as we sing in today's Psalm, God is slow to anger and abounding in kindness. He is just, Jesus assures us—evildoers and those who cause others to sin will be thrown into the fiery furnace at the end of the age. But by His patience God is teaching us that above all He desires repentance and the gathering of all nations to worship Him and to glorify His name. Even though we don't know how to pray as we ought, the Spirit will intercede for us, Paul promises in today's Epistle. But first, we must turn and call upon Him. We must commit ourselves to letting the good seed of His Word bear fruit in our lives. So, we should not be deceived or lose heart when we see weeds among the wheat—truth and holiness mixed with error, injustice, and sin. For now, He makes His sun rise on the good and the bad (see Matthew 5:45). But the harvest draws near. Let's work so that we might be numbered among the righteous children—who will shine like the sun in the kingdom of the Father.

July 9, 2023 | Parable of the Wheat and Weeds | Pastor Suzy O'Dwyer

Why is it sometimes hard to tell if someone is truly a Christian? If Jesus' kingdom has come, why are there still wicked people in the world? What awaits believers at the end of the age? These questions, and more, are answered in the parable of the tares. The second parable in a set of seven kingdom parables in Matthew's Gospel, the parable of the tares introduces the idea that the kingdom of God comes gradually, not all at once. Until Jesus returns as Judge and King, believers have been planted in the world as lights, inviting the lost to come and cling to Christ. Want to study the themes in this passage further? Here are a few reflection questions and passages to consider: 1. Read Ephesians 5:7-9, Philippians 2:1-16, 1 John 1:6-8, and 1 John 3:10. What does it look like to walk in the light as a child of God? 2. Consider Matthew 13:25-26 and Matthew 13:38-39 in light of 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 and 1 John 2:18-19. What is one of the strategies Satan uses to try to stop the growth of the church? 3. How would you describe “already-but-not-yet” to someone? (Check out the graphic on Instagram @godbesotted if you need help with this!) 4. What evil in the world or in your life makes you long for judgment? How does knowing that judgment is coming comfort you? Confess to the Lord any ways you may have sought to bring judgment on your own instead of waiting for God's.  5. Spend time in silence before the Lord. Thank Him for His grace in bringing you into His family through His Son. Ask Him who He wants you to share the gospel with and write down their name. Pray for them and seek opportunities to connect with them.  Follow @godbesotted on Instagram for more encouraging content.
