Pastor Steve explores the parable of the wheat and weeds from Matthew 13:24-30, revealing crucial insights about God's kingdom and how we should respond to evil in our midst.
• Evil coexists with good because God gives everyone opportunity to choose Him and respond to His mercy
• Spiritual discipline in churches should be practiced with love, protecting both individuals and the congregation
• Christians should trust church leadership until given reason not to, rather than assuming the worst
• Satan always has representatives working within churches to cause division and destruction
• Until a person's final breath, opportunity for repentance remains - God desires all to come to Him
