Title:

Description:

Sermon start time: 21:25. Sermon end time: 42:34.
Preaching on the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares, the preacher argues that Jesus commanded his church to "make disciples of all nations” by preaching this gospel "throughout the whole world". It is not for the church, but for God to judge where the seed will take root, and distinguish the wheat from the weeds. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
Key quotation: "When this God starts to sowing, or inviting, or blessing, or calling, this God just doesn't know where to stop. And it is not for us to judge which seed will take root, which tree will bear fruit. It's not for us to distinguish between wheat and weeds--that's God's business.
