You are the world

A world of wheat and weeds

Matthew 13.24-30,36-43

Jesus tells a seed-related parable about the kingdom of God, and provides its explanation: that evil and its agents in the world will persist alongside the good, despite the coming of the kingdom of God that Jesus was proclaiming.

This week's resources explore: how God is working in an imperfect world.
