Welcome to Wellspring Church!
What do we do with the weeds? In this week’s message, Bishop Ken Ross unpacks the Parable of the Weeds from Matthew 13, helping us see the kingdom of God not as a purified community now—but as a grace-filled invitation into transformation.
In a world where good and evil grow side by side, we long for justice and clarity. But Jesus urges us to look not only at today’s tension but at the hope of the final harvest. This parable doesn’t just explain why brokenness still exists; it calls us to live as citizens of a different kingdom.
📖 Key Themes in This Message:
🔹 Why we can’t uproot evil on our own—and why that’s good news
🔹 The tension of living in the “already but not yet” of God’s kingdom
🔹 The grace of delay: time for more to come into the kingdom
🔹 Repentance as a response to rescue, not a prerequisite for it
🔹 Living as ambassadors of reconciliation, not judges
🔹 The church as a place for potential transformation—not just the already changed
Everyone you meet is either a new creation—or a potential one. The church isn’t a place to draw lines between “us” and “them.” It’s the field where grace is still at work. And in the end, the righteous will shine like the sun.
