Day 140 — The Explanation of the Wheat and Weeds

Episode 137 — The Parable of the Wheat and Weeds

Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 24 [Jesus] put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, 25 but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. 26 So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. 27 And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?' 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.' So the servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?' 29 But he said, ‘No, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.”'” 36 Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.” 37 He answered, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. 40 Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers, 42 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

Can you tell time?  Most people can look at a watch or clock or digital number that keeps track of time and know what time it is.  Yet, do you know what time it is?  Jesus, our Redeemer, the Savior of the World, knows how to tell time.  

What do you do when the world around you feels messy, broken, and out of control? In this week's message, guest speaker David White walks us through one of Jesus's most vivid parables — the Parable of the Weeds and the Wheat from Matthew 13 — and unpacks why the kingdom of heaven doesn't always look the way we expect it to.Drawing from Jesus's own explanation of the parable, David explores the tension between good and evil growing side by side in the world, and why God's patience in the face of that tension is not permission — it's mercy. Along the way, he challenges the very human impulse to fix everything around us, and redirects our attention to the one thing we actually can control: what's growing in us.From the surprising agricultural detail that made Jesus's parable land for his original audience, to what the workers in the story reveal about our deep need for control, David unpacks what it looks like to trust the Farmer when the field feels overwhelming. He closes with a practical challenge around three things we actually can control — who we follow, what we feed on, and what we focus on — and invites listeners to reorient toward the kingdom rather than the weeds.Big Idea: You can't always control what's growing around you, but you can control what's growing in you.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Jesus gives us 8 parables in chapter 13 of Matthew. Yet it was the Wheat and Weeds that caused the disciples to ask for an explanation. Chris takes us deep to look at what it actually means to be wheat and/or weeds in this timely message. www.freshroadmedia.com  

Join us as we continue in our message series called“Jesus // According to Matthew, where we're going to walk through the Gospel of Matthew.

Greetings and welcome! This is our daily devotional for February 2, 2026. Today, we continue our series on Matthew in Chapter 13 with the Parable of the Weeds. Make sure you're part of the harvest headed to the barn! Thanks for joining us.

Jesus often taught about the Kingdom of God through simple stories with deep meaning. In Mark 4, He shares three powerful parables that reveal how the gospel grows, why deception exists alongside truth, and how God's Kingdom spreads farther than anyone expects.In this message, Pastor Ryan Visconti walks through the Parable of the Growing Seed, the Parable of the Wheat and the Weeds, and the Parable of the Mustard Seed, showing how God brings spiritual growth even when we cannot see it, why it is not our job to judge hearts, and how small acts of obedience can produce massive Kingdom impact.If you've ever felt discouraged because you don't see immediate results from sharing your faith, confused by fake Christianity, or tempted to despise small beginnings, this message will anchor you in truth and give you hope. The Kingdom of God is growing even when it looks hidden.

This is the third sermon in a seven part sermon series on Kingdom Growth.

In this parable about the weeds and the wheat, the good seed being planted and the bad seed seed being planted, something happens that we all experience.  Good seeds grow up together with the bad seeds.  Good seeds mature with the bad seeds.  And it is hard to tell them apart. But it isn't our job to tell them apart.  That is up to Jesus, who is patient beyond any type of patient we can imagine. His WORD is the good seed that grows to be stored up safely. Satan tries with all his might to sow as much evil into the world as he can.  It's his mission.  Lies and deception are what he is about. Jesus is about grace and mercy. This grace and mercy leads to salvation, His work, not ours. On the Last Day, He will do the sorting.  Believers be assured of being stored safely with Him in His new creation forever and ever.     Malachi 3:16-4:2 2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43

Jesus told a story about a farmer who sowed good seed, but an enemy later sowed weeds among the wheat while people slept. Fearing they would uproot the wheat, the farmer instructed his servants to let both grow until the harvest. At the harvest, the weeds would be gathered and burned, and the wheat would be stored in the barn. Jesus later explained the parable's meaning (Matthew 13:24-30;36-43): the farmer is the Son of Man, the field is the world, the good seed are the children of the kingdom, and the weeds are the children of the evil one. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels who will separate the righteous from the wicked.

In Matthew 13 Jesus tells a parable about wheat and weeds. At first wheat and weeds look the same, but over time their distinctions become clear: wheat produces life, and weeds produce death. When he explains this parable to his disciples Jesus tells them that the wheat represents the people of His Kingdom, and the weeds represent those deceived by the enemy. Both exist in the world today, and like the weeds, those planted into the world by the enemy are difficult to spot. As we follow Jesus today, this parable teaches us that revival always has a rival—Satan sows deception, distraction, and division right alongside the work of God. And while we can't always tell the difference right away, our call is to remain faithful, alert, and hopeful in Christ until the final harvest.

In this very important set of parables, Jesus both corrects his disciples understanding of the nature of the kingdom as well as encouraging them with the nature of the kingdom.  

Many of us have been hurt by sins, wrongs, the evil of others. In a world where there is freedom for us to choose to hurt others, we will get hurt. So what is God going to do about this? If He loves us, shouldn't He just go ahead and get rid of all evil?  The answers lie in a parable told by Jesus, "the parable of the wheat and the tares" (also known as "the parable of the wheat and the weeds"). In this story we will see how the owner of a field (i.e., Jesus) had his field sabotaged by an enemy (i.e., the devil), who sowed bad seed among the owner's good. Thus the owner had a choice to make - get rid of the tares immediately or let both the wheat and the tares (i.e., the good and bad people) grow together. Fortunately for us, Jesus explains which He chose, why He chose it, and what will ultimately happen to those who follow Satan instead of God.Scriptures covered: Titus 2:11-14, Matthew 13:24-30, Revelation 21:1-8.To see David Hicks on YouTube, click here.

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?

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
