Proper 11

Matthew 13.24-30,36-43

The confidence of the Father (AAA)

When Jesus tells the parable of the tares there is a strong hint of the confidence of the sower – in the quality of the seed, that the crop will not be damaged by allowing the tares to grow alongside it.

Wheat and Weeds (CYP)

The theme centres on seeds and growth, with tares (weeds) growing alonside the wheat.

These resources were first published in 2005.
