    In Part 1 of the Mustard Seed we introduce this parable looking at the plant and the birds of the air. This will be a revealing subject. The true meaning of this parable is not what is generally believed. We will see that more in the next three Parts.

     | 18,935 views

    To provide some background to the book of Amos. To do that, we’ll need to know some history and geography with a bit of sociology and covenantal theology thrown in. A dash of horticulture and zoology wouldn’t go astray either.

    We have come to a time in history when there is a concerted attempt to exclude the recognition, & even the very mention of God from our schools, our government, & our public consciousness. And as a country we are paying a terrible price as a result.

    Just as many of the people today in the Middle East and Central Asia, currently in the grip of one of the worst droughts in recent history, are desperate for rain, so the church needs to see its desperate need for a fresh rainfall from God.
