    The Small Seed

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 16, 2008
    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,206 views

    The Kingdom of God will grow because God is working. Growth comes from Him and it has nothing to do with the size of the seed.

    Both parables set out to teach us, "What the Kingdom of God is like." Note two things,(1) Growth is taking place because God is working, (2) Growth has nothing to do with the Size of the Seed Growth comes from God. Jesus uses the illustration of a farmer to emphasize this point. • The farmer ...read more

    Like an unexpectedly huge mustard plant, the kingdom will grow and comfort, in unexpected ways.

    Like Malformed Mustard Mark 4:30-32 The kingdom of God is like a VW Beetle. It is one of the smallest cars you will ever see. It is not very comfortable or powerful. It is not very stylish or practical. It is very cheap and not impressive in any way. There is no status with owning one. And yet, ...read more

    Many people have bullet-proof armor around their hearts - so that God’s truth simply bounces off. Learn about how to have a soft heart and fertile soil to grow God’s truth

    Have you ever heard the expression: “they only hear what they want to hear”? Its true – and its also very dangerous. Today Jesus is going to say things that just bounce off the hearers – the crowds, and His disciples. It involves accepting the truth – and in trusting the Lord at His word. I want ...read more

    Only a few parables are found in Mark. Most of those are found in Mark 4.

    Mk. 4:1-34 JESUS SPEAKS IN PARABLES A. Recently, hearing about the trial of John Allen Muhammad, has seemed to be a mysterious case to me. 1.

    If you were being arrested for soulwinning, would there be enough evidence to convict you? Our Lord emphasized the importance and art of soulwinning. Let’s examine it together!
