The Problem Of Weeds

Contributed by Jim Keegan on Oct 14, 2020

This parable may very well be one of the most important teachings for the church to hear in helping us to understand the nature of our witness for good in the world.

The Problem of Weeds Read Matthew 13:24-30 Everyone who has ever farmed or gardened, or taken care of a lawn, is only too familiar with the vexing reality of weeds.

Leave The Weed

Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Feb 8, 2020

"Weeding the garden" is something we believe is a good thing, but many times doing this can destroy the good roots around them. Jesus helps us grasp why working to remove the 'weeds' from your life is not necessarily His way of leading you.

Right… at first glance you may quickly think I am going to try convincing you how wrong it is to smoke marijuana… or to do drugs of any kind. No… this is not that kind of ‘weed removal’ encouragement… although… wait… OK… I’ll refrain! Rather, this is an admonition to be careful about being SO ...read more

What Is The Kingdom Like?

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 2, 2021

Beyond the self-denial of following Christ, beyond the daily discipline, beyond the cross to be carried, lies the most precious thing, a thing of supreme and unsurpassed beauty: life in the Kingdom, under God and for God and with God!

When you open the gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark and Luke, it seems that more often that not, Jesus is speaking in some parable.

Sixteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Cycle A; 16th Sunday , Year A-- Weeds And Wheat

Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 21, 2020

This parable doesn’t mean that we tolerate all sorts of bad behavior. Jesus doesn’t condone weed (pun intended).

Sermon On Good & Evil

Contributed by William Meakin on Jun 24, 2020

Life has a thin dividing line between good and evil

The pathway of life can be quite narrow and rocky in places. Symmetrically speaking, one side of the path could be considered as good, the other side as evil.

The Kingdom Of Heaven Revealed

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Nov 29, 2020

To God be the glory for the love of Jesus Christ towards mankind. This love is shown throughout the thirteenth chapter of St. Matthew which Jesus devoted entirely to using our everyday experiences, vocations and imagery to teach us what we need to know about the kingdom of heaven.
