Parable of the Mustard Seed
The Kingdom of God is like...
The Mustard Seed
Matthew 13:31-32
Word:
What does this parable say about the nature of the Kingdom of God? What is it like? What is it not like?
World:
How does our culture talk about growth? We live in a culture of instant gratification - what are some examples? How does the parable push against this? What illustrations of success in our culture do people put on a pedestal?
Us:
What does this analogy of growth have to do with the Christian faith? How does it differ from our culture’s understanding of successful growth? Do you believe God wants to work in ways that this parables speaks of? Do you have examples of ways He has or is working in you that seem small but could blossom? Any examples of small kingdom movements that have led to great change in Jesus’ name?
