Podcasts about mustard seeds

The Lord's Supper is not given to profitable servants who have earned a seat. It is given to unprofitable ones. Given precisely where the Law has done its work — where you know you have been the scandal, where you know your forgiveness came out thin and grudging, where your faith on its best day is the size of a mustard seed. “Lord, increase our faith” (Luke 17:5).

Big things often start small. In Matthew 13:31-33, Jesus compares the Kingdom of God to a mustard seed and yeast, two small and seemingly insignificant things that produce extraordinary results over time. In this message, Pastor Dave explores how God's Kingdom grows both outwardly and inwardly. While the gospel continues to spread throughout the world, God is also at work transforming every part of the lives of His followers. No matter how small your faith, influence, or efforts may seem today, God specializes in producing lasting impact from humble beginnings. Join us as we discover how God's Kingdom grows, transforms, and fulfills His mission in ways far greater than we often imagine. Follow us for more weekly messages from Eastside pastors!

Jesus said that faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains—not because of the size of our faith, but because of the greatness of our God in whom we place it. This faith is choosing to trust God in the middle of uncertainty and taking the next step even when we cannot see the whole path. When we offer God our small, imperfect faith, He is able to grow it into something far greater than we could imagine! Join us as we unpack this further, today.

Guest Speaker John Menea speaks on the parable of the mustard seed at our sunday service on the 17th May 2026verses are Matthew 13:31-32 and Mark 4:30-34

Viewfield Road is a little off most people's maps, but beside the many warehouses and businesses there is a key player in the regional food system. Executive Director Treska Watson takes us for a walk from the loading bays through all the spaces that ensure so much food is directed and redirected. From farmers' abundance to over-stock, and naturally best-before dates, there is everything from programs for school programs to food and fruit rescue (120,000 pounds per week) . It is here too we meet Chris Hammer and his team who prepare much of the food of the Mustard Seed's Queens Street site.

This episode starts back at the Viewfield Food Distribution Centre where Chris Hammer speaks about fruit rescue. The next conversation is about preparing food for the Queens Street site... and so of course we transfer there to see where individuals and families can find the nourishment they need. Executive Director of the Mustard Seed Treska Watson continues the tour with us throughout the entire building with a specific focus on the actual interaction where need meets food possibilities.

What happens when evil and good seem to grow side by side in the world? In Matthew 13, Jesus teaches through the parables of the weeds, the mustard seed, and the leaven to reveal what the Kingdom of God is really like. Through these parables, Jesus shows us that God is still at work even when we cannot fully see it. The enemy may sow confusion, pain, and destruction, but God's Kingdom continues to grow steadily, powerfully, and according to His perfect timing. What starts small can transform everything. The Kingdom of God is not built through fear, control, or human effort. It grows through the power and presence of Jesus working in and through His people. Jesus reminds us that judgment belongs to Him, growth belongs to God, and our role is to remain faithful while trusting the harvest is coming.   The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ. Eleven22 is led by Pastor Joby Martin and based in Jacksonville, Florida, with multiple campuses throughout Jacksonville and the surrounding areas.

In this teaching on the parables of the kingdom, the focus centers on how Jesus reveals the nature, growth, and value of God's kingdom through layered illustrations in Matthew 13:1–23 (the Parable of the Sower), explaining the different heart responses to the Word; Matthew 13:24–30 and Matthew 13:36–43 (the Wheat and the Tares), showing the coexistence of the righteous and the wicked until final judgment; Matthew 13:31–32 (the Mustard Seed), emphasizing the kingdom's small beginnings and expansive growth; Matthew 13:33 (the Leaven), illustrating its permeating influence; and Matthew 13:44–46 (the Hidden Treasure and Pearl of Great Price), highlighting the surpassing worth of the kingdom that calls for wholehearted surrender—together demonstrating that the kingdom of heaven advances through receptive hearts, grows often in unseen ways, and is of such incomparable value that it demands total commitment from those who truly understand it. You can connect with Moriel in more locations than just YouTube!

Day 138 — The Parable of the Mustard Seed

Send us Fan MailNever despise the day of small beginnings. Everything large began small. The mighty oak began as a seed in the ground. The mustard seed, the smallest of seeds in those days, grew into a large bush. And God's Kingdom is growing day by day.And that's not to mention your faith. Your faith may have started off  like a little seed, but over time with proper cultivation, turns into a mighty fortress.Listen and learn how God takes what may look small and insignificant ands turns into soething great ands mighty.

Mark 4:30-34 The Kingdom of God being parabolically described as a mustard seed by Jesus in Mark 4 was surprising to his listeners by the shore of the sea, to say the least. And his reference to nesting birds might seem benign enough to us, but to them, the splendid cedar of imperial messianic power (from Ezekiel and Daniel) was supposed to provide birds shelter. So the image of the mustard plant — found blooming bright yellow all over Los Angeles in springtime, just as it was across Galilee — becomes significant in all sorts of ways: there's no singular main trunk, but a multitude of stems; it spreads invasively and at an almost unstoppable pace, partly because of how rapidly and abundantly each stem produces seeds; it grows together, and stands together, to produce shade. Even the size of the bloom depends entirely on the winter rains that come beforehand  (throughout Scripture, God's Spirit is poured out like water on dry land.) Powerful symbolism for Mark's original community, and a specific word to us as a community today. By Hannah Flint

Steve's back

Have you claimed your position in God's kingdom? We become citizens of God's kingdom through our allegiance to Jesus. Trust Him. We participate in God's kingdom by hungering and thirsting for righteousness. Righteousness isn't a set of rules to follow. Righteousness is our right standing before God through Jesus Christ that makes us alive to the things of God. It may seem like a mustard seed, but we've been given a great treasure. That treasure is citizenship into God's kingdom, and His kingdom is eternal.

We've all heard that the kingdom of God is like a mustard seed—small beginnings, big results. But what if that's not actually the point?In this message, we explore one of Jesus' most familiar parables and uncover the twist we often miss. The kingdom of God doesn't just grow—it shows up in unexpected places, disrupts our assumptions, and welcomes the people we might overlook.Through the story of a healing on the Sabbath and a strange little seed planted in the wrong place, we're invited to rethink what grace really looks like.What if the kingdom isn't about power or perfection… but presence, disruption, and radical inclusion?

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates are answering a question about birds that appear in parables. There is the parable of the Four Soils and the parable of the Mustard Seed. Are the birds just part of the story or do they have some deeper spiritual role such as The post Do the Birds in the Parables of Matthew 13 and Mark 4 Represent Satan? appeared first on Grace Evangelical Society.
