Sermon for August 2: Wheat and Tares
/
Hello All! Unfortunately we had a last minute computer crash which has stopped our ability to upload the Trinity service prepared for you. Hopefully we will have it available by tuesday.... BUT on the lucky side our wonderful Bishop prepared a sermon last week for congregations to use....and so we present that to you.
It grows from the Matthew parable:
The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares
24 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.
God's richest blessings!
