For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

"A World Full of Weeds"
Rev. Linda Gwathmey
24 Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.
26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
27 "The owner's servants came to him and said, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds
come from?'
28 " 'An enemy did this,' he replied. "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'
29 " 'No,' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.' "
...
38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
40 "As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.
41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.
42 They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
Matthew 13:24-30, 38-43

Psalm 25:6-10
6 Remember, O Lord , your great mercy
and love, for they are from of old.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways; according to
your love remember me, for you are
good, O Lord .
8 Good and upright is the Lord ; therefore
he instructs sinners in his ways.
9 He guides the humble in what is right
and teaches them his way.
10 All the ways of the Lord are loving and
faithful for those who keep the demands
of his covenant.

Romans 8:1-11
1 Therefore, there is now no
condemnation for those who are in
Christ Jesus,
2 because through Christ Jesus the law
of the Spirit of life set me free from the
law of sin and death.
3 For what the law was powerless to do
in that it was weakened by the sinful
nature, God did by sending his own Son
in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin
offering. And so he condemned sin in
sinful man,
4 in order that the righteous requirements
of the law might be fully met in us, who
do not live according to the sinful nature
but according to the Spirit.
5 Those who live according to the sinful
nature have their minds set on what that
nature desires; but those who live in
accordance with the Spirit have their
minds set on what the Spirit desires.
6 The mind of sinful man is death, but the
mind controlled by the Spirit is life and
peace;
7 the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does
not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.
8 Those controlled by the sinful nature
cannot please God.
9 You, however, are controlled not by the
sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit
of God lives in you. And if anyone does
not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not
belong to Christ.
10 But if Christ is in you, your body is
dead because of sin, yet your spirit is
alive because of righteousness.
11 And if the Spirit of him who raised
Jesus from the dead is living in you, he
who raised Christ from the dead will also
give life to your mortal bodies through
his Spirit, who lives in you.
1 Therefore, there is now no
condemnation for those who are in
Christ Jesus,
2 because through Christ Jesus the law
of the Spirit of life set me free from the
law of sin and death.

10 But if Christ is in you, your body is

who raised Christ from the dead will also
give life to your mortal bodies through
his Spirit, who lives in you.
Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23
1 That same day Jesus went out of
the house and sat by the lake.
2 Such large crowds gathered around
him that he got into a boat and sat in it,
while all the people stood on the shore.
3 Then he told them many things in
parables, saying: "A farmer went out to
sow his seed.
4 As he was scattering the seed, some
fell along the path, and the birds came
and ate it up.
5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did
not have much soil. It sprang up quickly,
because the soil was shallow.
6 But when the sun came up, the plants
were scorched, and they withered
because they had no root.
7 Other seed fell among thorns, which
grew up and choked the plants.
8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where
it produced a crop--a hundred, sixty or
thirty times what was sown.
9 He who has ears, let him hear."
...
18 "Listen then to what the parable of the
sower means:
19 When anyone hears the message
about the kingdom and does not
understand it, the evil one comes and
snatches away what was sown in his
heart. This is the seed sown along the
path.
20 The one who received the seed that
fell on rocky places is the man who
hears the word and at once receives it
with joy.
21 But since he has no root, he lasts only
a short time. When trouble or
persecution comes because of the word,
he quickly falls away.
22 The one who received the seed that
fell among the thorns is the man who
hears the word, but the worries of this
life and the deceitfulness of wealth
choke it, making it unfruitful.
23 But the one who received the seed
that fell on good soil is the man who
hears the word and understands it. He
produces a crop, yielding a hundred,
sixty or thirty times what was sown."
