The church in the world NOT the world in the church The Wheat and Weeds The Sower = Jesus The Field = The world The Seed = Believers The Enemy = Satan The church in the world NOT the world in the church

The Wheat and the Weeds Why leave believers among the weeds? So we can impact the weeds for good ‘go into all the world and make disciples of all nations’ – Matt 28 2 Peter 3:9

The Wheat and the Weeds Why leave believers among the weeds? So we can impact the weeds for good ‘go into all the world and make disciples of all nations’ - Matt 28 2 Peter 3:9 To give us opportunity to change  Why not pull up the weeds? This is the time for rescue not judgement The time for separation will come – and the Lord himself will be in charge
