Jesus tells the story of the Sower and the Tares (weeds). While Matthew interprets the weeds as evil, there are other ways to interpret this text. The weeds may represent anything that pulls us away from God such as doubt, greed, addiction, etc. As we struggle between Law and Gospel we recognize we are not without sin and therefore find that the weeds and wheat are intermingled in our own lives. It is God who ultimately judges and thankfully, we are blessed by God’s forgiveness through Jesus and the promise of eternal life. Join Jonathan Lonsway, Minister of Worship & Music and Pastor David Blank for this service of worship.

We watched the video service on Saturday evening, because we were not able to attend on Sunday. Thank you to everyone who made the service possible. We feel blessed and surrounded by love and competence in our leadership and community to carry on our mission of making Christ known. God be with you this week!
