This week’s parabolic story of seeds and the harvest leads us directly to Jesus’ comparison of the kin-dom of God to a mustard seed. Scholar Don Saliers tells us that It builds upon the earlier, more extensive parable of the sower and the harvest. There are clues in the plant that grows so large from so tiny a seed. We marvel that birds come next in the shade of this spacious dwelling – so shall the reign of God be. The kin-dom and faith are all about God’s grace. What is God’s kin-dom like? To what shall we compare it? Rev. Teresa will help us hear the path that Mark leads us down as we place ourselves in the middle of these parables in a sermon entitled, “Small Beginnings Can Yield Great Outcomes,” based on Mark 4: 26-34.
