The Kingdom of the Mustard Seed, June 13 Worship

Jesus tells us that the mustard seed "is the smallest of all the seeds on earth, yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade" (Mark 4:31-32). Jesus wants to spark the imagination of His listeners. Almighty God is infinite and creative. God loves to see life thrive and grow. God’s Kingdom is a place where small things are significant. Jesus’ story is about all this and more. We celebrate all the wondrous ways God can care and nurture us today and forever.
