Weeds Amongst Wheat, Matthew 13.24-30, 36-43

When there are weeds growing amongst the wheat, what are we to do? Do we look to our Master and ask him? Or do we just plunge forward and attempt to remove them ourselves? What does the Master tell his servants to do? Wait until the harvest and then the reapers will deal with the weeds. Until them, let them grow and interact. What does that mean for us as we traverse this world?

Seed and Soil, Matthew 13.1-9, 18-23

Jesus told a parable about a sower going out to sow some seed. He tells us that the meaning of the seed is that it is the Word of God. How is seed like the Word of God? One way that they are the same is that the seed is intended to grow just as the Word is effective and does its work. Listen to find out more!

Weary One, Come, Matthew 11.25-30

Jesus calls those who are weary and heavy laden to himself. He reveals himself to those who are like this because these people know that they cannot get through this life without His help. Will you come to him and take his yoke?
