Father Nissen's sermon of July 20

The Gospel reading is Matthew 13: 24 - 43.

Timing is important: when to say "please" and "thank you," be at work on time, even stay late to help out at work.

Then there is God's timing. Most of the time it takes God a long time to act. The teaching of the wheat and the weeds tells that they grown together and are harvested together.

For us, good and bad exist together. We live with difficulties. The hard times and the difficult people always go away eventually, but the in-between times can be a time to grow in trust of God in our lives.

Waiting on the Lord of the harvest can be wonderful times of worship, peace, and rest, even in the most difficult circumstances.
