St Andrew Presbyterian Church Boulder, CO

In the scripture we will read on Sunday, Jesus reminds us that God's kingdom often grows in ways that challenge our desire for quick judgments and easy answers. Using yet another agricultural metaphor – Jesus spoke more like a farmer than a carpenter! – he discourages us from separating the "good" from the "bad," and invites us to trust God's patience, mercy, and ultimate justice.  We’ll reflect on what it means to live faithfully in a world where good and evil are often intertwined and pray for patience to refrain from “picking the weeds.”
