In the parable of the weeds among the wheat Jesus is teaching us not to judge prematurely. Many thanks to Eric Howe playing the organ and Lynne Ogren for enhancing our worship appearance through her beautiful song.
God is recklessly wasteful when it comes to grace. What farmer or gardener would sow seeds on rocks, pathways, and into briars? Wasteful, right? But God does the very thing with the word of grace and love. God never gives up on anyone, ever.
What has a glass of water to do with God? Not much? Or a lot? A glass of water, a kind gesture, a smile, a helping hand are signs of God’s presence in the world.
