Parable of the Wheat & Weeds

A farmer plants good seed, and while the workers sleep an enemy sneaks in and plants weeds among the wheat. In the Parables series, Pastor Dale uses Jesus' own explanation to show that God and the devil are both placing people throughout the world, and God's people are called to stay awake.

1. The mission of Jesus is to place people of the kingdom all over the world.

2. The mission of the devil is to fill the world with wicked people, and he works while God's people are asleep.

3. The devil is after three God-ordained institutions: the family, the church, and the government.

4. Harvest time is coming, so we should evaluate our own lives now.
