What is the Seed of God's Kingdom? How can we make sure God's Kingdom grows in and through us? In this sermon from Pastor Nate, we bring our series “Your Kingdom Come” to a close, taking a look at Matthew 13:31-32 and the Parables of the Mustard Seed.

The Mustard Seed Kingdom Mark 4:30-32 Pastor Forrest Short

This week, guest speaker Steve Krier reminded us that the Kingdom of God often begins in small, unseen ways—like a mustard seed. But what starts small doesn't stay small.God's Kingdom grows through ordinary people, daily obedience, and hidden faithfulness. We don't need a platform to make an impact. Every act of faith—no matter how small—is a seed that God can grow into something world-changing.Jesus started with twelve. John Newton pastored a small church, and from it came leaders like William Wilberforce and William Carey. What might God do through your faithfulness?Need Prayer?

A sermon from Matthew 17:1-21

Luke 13:18-21

After the mountaintop moment of transfiguration, Jesus and His disciples descend into the valley of spiritual powerlessness and desperate need. The disciples' failure to cast out a demon wasn't due to lack of technique, but lack of dependence—a reminder that yesterday's faith can't power today's battles. True, mountain-moving faith flows not from past experience but from present connection to Jesus through prayer and fasting.

Today's message comes from one of the most beautiful pictures ofrestoration in all of scripture. Since we live in a fallen and broken world, it isaccurate to say that adversity is more normal than abnormal. Therefore,this message should apply to all of us to one degree or another. In John21:1-19, Peter's mind is spiraling; therefore, he decides to go fishing todistract himself and perhaps regain some sanity.Peter goes fishing and a bad day turns into a worse night. They caughtnothing. Have you ever been there? That's precisely the moment; we needGod to show up and intervene. Watch this message and learn the secret of“casting the net on the right side of the boat.”

In this passage we see Jesus comparing his kingdom to a mustard seed planted in a garden and some leaven put into dough. What 4 things do these short parables reveal about the kingdom of God?

Today's message is one of the most important messages that's been taughtin almost five years of One City's life. The goal of this message is toprovide the context for God's vision and call the people of One City up tofulfill it.Since every vision is a solution to a problem; it is important for us thatmovements of God aren't started and sustained by safe leaders andfollowers. This message is an invitation to step out of your safety zone.One never steps into his or her destiny without a challenge. It is thechallenge that stretches us beyond our ability to God's ability in us andthrough us.The results are too great to miss this message and opportunity.

Matt preaches on Matthew 13:31-32, the parable of the mustard seed. There are so many things that can cause us to doubt, but even a mustard seed-sized faith can move mountains. What would it look like if we asked the Lord to help with our unbelief?

As we come to our sixth week of exploring Dynamic Faith: The Power of theMustard Seed, we come face to face with a passage that can give great hope orgreat frustration. As Pastor Karin breaks down the myths surrounding Matthew7:7-11, we discover that Jesus's promises associated with asking, seeking, andknocking are not for a few select people, but for everyone longing to beconnected to the heart of our Heavenly Father. Whether you are new to the faithor have walked with the Lord for years, the enemy loves to plant seeds of doubtin our minds about the goodness of God. Combat those doubts with truth so youcan ask, seek, and knock with confidence.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. And today's shout-out goes to Daniel Gifford from Marrietta, GA. Daniel, thank you for believing in the slow, steady work of God's Word. Because of your support of Project23, others are learning to walk by faith. This one's for you. Today, we're looking at Mark 4:30-34: And he said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown on the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth, yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.” With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it. He did not speak to them without a parable, but privately to his own disciples he explained everything. — Mark 4:30-34 Jesus gives us yet another picture of the kingdom of God—and this one flips expectations. He says the kingdom is like a mustard seed. Small. Insignificant. Easy to miss. One of the tiniest seeds you could hold between your fingers. But when planted, it grows. And not just a little. It becomes the largest plant in the garden. Big enough for birds to land in and build their nests. Remember, Jesus isn't giving us a lesson in agriculture. He's describing spiritual hope. The kingdom doesn't always start loud or impressive. It often begins in hidden places. In quiet faithfulness. In small decisions. In the unseen crevices of our lives. God does massive things through small beginnings. This is how the kingdom grows in your heart. This is how it expands in a community. This is how it breaks into a home, a workplace, a school, a nation. Not with a splash—but with a seed. And when that seed takes root, it grows beyond expectation. It creates space for others. It becomes something only God could grow—out of something no one else noticed. So if your faith feels small today—good. That's exactly what God uses. Your "mustard seed" may not look like much, but when surrendered, it becomes a tree of grace. #MustardSeedFaith, #KingdomGrowth, #Project23 ASK THIS: Where in your life has God started something small that you're tempted to overlook? What “mustard seed” decision could you plant today? Are you expecting growth in a way that might miss how God actually works? How has God used your smallest act of faith to bless someone else? DO THIS: Plant one small, intentional act of faith today—something quiet, consistent, and surrendered to God. PRAY THIS: Father, thank you for using the small things I offer for your great purposes. Grow your kingdom in me, even when I can't see it. Amen. PLAY THIS: Do It Again.

In this message, we'll look at how the Kingdom of God grows in unexpected ways, like a mustard seed planted in faith. Though mysterious and often unseen at first, God's Kingdom is always at work, transforming lives and changing hearts. The Gospel has the power to change anyone—it can change you.

Luke 13:18-21

Today we explore what Jesus meant when He said, “Let it be done according to your faith.” Was He saying that faith itself has power—or was He pointing to something deeper? Through the story of the blind men in Matthew 9 and personal reflections on suffering, healing, and spiritual transformation, we challenge the idea of “faith in faith” and re-center the conversation on faith in Jesus. If you've ever wrestled with unanswered prayers, doubt, or the pain of not seeing healing the way you hoped, this message is for you.

Dynamic Faith: The Power of the Mustard Seed is about establishing God's definition of faith. It's very possible that “Faith” is the most controversial topic throughout the pages of scripture. Why is that true? It's because the biggest and boldest promises are always associated “Faith.” Since that's true, this topic generates the strongest of feelings, both positively and negatively. At One City Church, we operate from the belief that the Bible is God's Word; therefore, it is true and without error. We can't pick and choose what verses we believe and keep versus what versus we doubt and delete. Since the verses on “Faith” are so prominent and important; it is essential for us to understand and apply them accurately. That's why this series is about moving from a man-centered to a God-centered perspective on “Faith.” When we read the scriptures from a man-centered perspective we misunderstand and misapply everything. We turn “Faith” into a formula and make it small and powerless. Obviously, that's the complete opposition of God's definition of “Faith.” Today's message is from Matthew 17:14-20. A father comes to the disciples asking them to heal his son. Even though the disciples have cast out demons and healed people previously, they weren't able to do it this time. All of us should be able to identify with ebbs and flows of our abiding relationship and thus our faith. How irresponsible would it be for faith to be formula? Faith is too important and too powerful to allow shortcuts. When it comes to increasing our faith, we must embrace the process of becoming a trustworthy steward and servant. This passage invites into another level of abiding and mountain moving faith by inviting us into a lifestyle of prayer and fasting.

is a seldom preached on but very powerful parable.

Send us a textA mustard seed is a very small seed that grows into a large bush, a tree. It speaks of the growth of the Kingdom of God and the transforming power of the Gospel. Nothing changes the lives of people like the gospel does. Before Jesus people did not put much value on children, the elderly, women or marriage but Jesus changed all that. And if you have been walking with Him, you know the transforming power it has had on you.The Kingdom of Heaven is growing and your faith and participation is a big reason for its growth. Listen carefully and see how.

This passage is vitally important in understanding the quality of the soil. The seed is the Word of God and is obviously important, but it is the soil that determines whether the seed is received or rejected. In this message we'll look at seven important principles that we can learn from farmers in cultivating good soil. This is important for many reasons, but it vitally important in determining one's harvest. The best harvest a farmer could expect in Jesus' day was a 10-fold harvest, but Jesus promises that one can receive a 100-fold, 60-fold, or 30-fold harvest. Listen and apply the truths of this message to receive a greater harvest.

The twentieth saying of Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas is one that is familiar to Christians who have read the canonical gospels. It is known as the parable of the Mustard Seed. Thomas' version goes like this:The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us what the kingdom of Heaven is like." He said to them, "It's like a mustard seed, the smallest of all seeds, but when it falls on prepared soil, it produces a large plant and becomes a shelter for birds of heaven."At first hearing it may sound identical to the New Testament parable. But listen again. Here is the version found in the Gospel of Luke. Pay attention to the differences.Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to? It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches.”They sound similar, but the small differences make a big difference. Let's look at the differences and what they teach us about the Kingdom of Heaven, which is Jesus' term for Divine Awareness.View Marshall's books here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marshall-Davis/author/B001K8Y0RU

Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that, as Christians, Jesus is telling us that the church will grow in unimaginable ways throughout the world. But, we need to be careful that ministry growth is both biblical and fruitful, and we must stay in line with what God is doing. The post Parable Of The Mustard Seed – B first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the mustard seed starts out small, but has a long growth process, eventually reaching a size that is beyond expectation. So, when Jesus compares it with biblical truth, He's telling us that it only takes a little faith to do great things for God.
