Jesus Answers Adversaries in Sunday School Lesson
The May 21 lesson from International Uniform Lessons centers on Jesus, facing Pharisees, Sadducees, scribes, and a crowd. It emphasizes Christ’s deep Scriptural knowledge, His refusal to be trapped by questions, and the practical aim of directing skeptics to daily religious obedience rather than theology. Jesus answers the tribute question by Caesar’s inscription, urging giving to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.

Warns Farmers on Popcorn Planting and Seed Potato Certification
The USDA cautions against planting excess popcorn this year while supplies should meet demand. Wormlike grubs threaten certain sod, corn, and small grain fields in eastern and southern Iowa and around Leon. Entomologists urge avoiding corn on newly broken sod or heavily grub-infested ground. Do not assume blue tags prove certified seed as dealers mislabel. Verify official state certifier name and sealed packaging to ensure genuine certification.
