The Parable of the Mustard Seed

Jesus teaches that the Kingdom of God starts small—like a mustard seed—often unnoticed, unimpressive, and easy to dismiss, but with time, it grows into something expansive and impactful. We often miss what God is doing because we expect spectacle, speed, or power, but God’s Kingdom grows through faithfulness, humility, and quiet obedience. Ultimately, this Kingdom is far bigger and more inclusive than our limited expectations—stretching wide enough to shelter the nations and inviting everyone to take part in what God is building.
