Summary
The sermon discusses Jesus’ parable of the wheat and tares from Matthew 13, exploring how Satan plants ‘tares’ (false converts or demon-infected Christians) among ‘wheat’ (true believers) in churches and relationships. Pastor Mike emphasizes how church hurt and wounds from these tares can turn wounded Christians into ‘satanic missionaries’ who carry their pain to other churches, perpetuating a cycle of hurt. He stresses the importance of proper discernment in relationships and the need for deliverance ministry to heal from these spiritual wounds.
Intro Prayer
Heavenly Father, as we gather to discuss Your Word and the reality of spiritual warfare in our churches and relationships, we ask for Your wisdom and discernment. Open our hearts to receive Your truth and healing. Help us recognize and overcome any wounds we may carry from past experiences with ‘tares’ in our lives. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
