In this thought-provoking sermon from July 13, 2025, at St. Sarkis Church in Douglaston, Fr. Nareg Terterian explores the Parable of the Wheat and the Weeds (Matthew 13:24–30). Through personal reflection and biblical insight, Fr. Nareg unpacks the layered meaning of Jesus' words—how good and evil coexist, why God allows struggle, and the importance of discernment in a world filled with counterfeits. Drawing connections to Genesis and modern life, Fr. Nareg invites us to reflect on the freedom God gives us, the reality of spiritual sabotage, and the wisdom of divine patience. As he reminds us, hope is not wishful thinking—it is trust in God's redemptive purpose even amidst life’s weeds.
