Sermon Brainwave 1093: Eighth Sunday after Pentecost - July 19, 2026

Matt Skinner, Karoline Lewis, and Cody Sanders tackle Matthew's parable of the wheat and the weeds and its unsettling questions about judgment and impostors in the community of faith. They turn to Isaiah 44's witness against idols, Jacob's dream at Bethel and God's promise to migrants, Psalm 86's memorable use of the word "ruffians," and Paul's rare focus on creation's groaning for redemption in Romans 8. Along the way, they connect that cosmic vision to modern issues like environmental harm and data center water usage, giving preachers rich homiletical angles for July 19, 2026.
