The Mustard Seed

Parables of Jesus \u2014 Matthew 13:31-32 \nThe parable of the mustard seed has obvious appeal to even a non-Christian audience. That which is small can become enormous. But let\u2019s take a look at the deeply personal message often missed about this familiar story. The mustard seed is not objectively the smallest seed in agriculture, nor is the resulting plant nearly the largest. But the mustard\u2019s reputation for spreading is rightly deserved and Jesus\u2019 audience would be very familiar. That which is small can change a whole biome. It can bring in species that would have normally found the environment hostile and offer new places to find refuge. One sacrifice. Explosive growth. New residents. \nConnect Card - https://lovechapelhill.com/about-us/c...\nAll Things Sunday - https://lovechapelhill.com/sunday\nGive - https://lovechapelhill.com/give
