This sermon was originally delivered at Emmanuel Chinese Baptist Church in Overland Park, KS, on May 14, 2023.
Kenny tackles the disciples’ doubts and our question: Why does evil linger in God’s kingdom? Using the field’s wheat and tares, he shares three truths: Christ, the sovereign Owner, protects the kingdom’s health from corruption; controls the enemy, limiting his schemes; and guarantees salvation, harvesting true believers into glory while burning the pretenders. With Hudson Taylor’s conversion as a poignant example of persistent prayer, Kenny encourages perseverance: Cling to Christ amid hypocrites and trials, knowing momentary woes yield eternal reward. He ends with reflections: Which seed are you? Pray for insight, praise God’s sovereignty, and grow in faith.
