SEEDS Week 4 | Pastor Tim Ashley | March 15, 2026 | Wheat and Weeds

*The Secret to Living Together in a World of Weeds*Why does God allow "weeds" to grow alongside the "wheat"? In Week 4 of our SEEDS series, we dive into the Parable of the Weeds from Matthew 13 to discover why God’s grace allows both to grow together and what that means for us today.As we continue our year of being "Together," we explore how our nature isn't defined by our effort, but by the seed we are born from. Are you living from the corrupted seed of the first Adam, or the imperishable, perfect nature of the second Adam, Jesus Christ?In this message, Pastor Tim shares:*The Difference:* Understanding that the primary distinction between the wheat and the weeds is the seed they come from (1 Peter 1:23).*The Discovery:* Why God’s grace allows the "wheat" and "weeds" to grow together in the same field until the harvest.*The Determination:* How to examine your own life and determine which nature is growing within you.Scripture References:Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 (The Parable of the Weeds) 1 Corinthians 12:27 (Being part of Christ’s body) 1 Peter 1:23 (Born of imperishable seed) Romans 5:15 (The gift of God's grace) --------------------------------------------------------*Connect with HopeTown Church:*Discover everything happening at HopeTown Church—services, upcoming events, and more—at [www.hopetown.church](https://www.hopetown.church)!We’re everyday people who’ve experienced restoration, purpose, and hope through a living relationship with Jesus.
