The Wheat and The Weeds | Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43
April 14th, 2025 | 29 mins 15 secs
church, disrupted, faith, lent, parables
We all love stories. Stories engage our attention and spark our imagination and often encourage reflection. Jesus’ most common form of instruction – far more than direct sermons – was storytelling, in the form of parables.
Lent is a season for reflection. We’ll explore the subversive stories of Jesus that – if we have ears to hear – will challenge our assumptions, cause us to reflect, and lead us reconsider what it means to know and follow Jesus.
The through-line for this series is these are all stories of reversal. They subvert our expectations and cause us to rethink what we believe about God, self, and others.
These are stories of what the Kingdom looks like here and now; we may miss where God is working now because we’re looking in the wrong way, the wrong place, with smaller expectations. Unpack the “shock value" of the stories in their setting, identify the pattern of each to help us see where we may have similar smaller, limited visions of God's work and ways and presence.
