What Are You Waiting For? 3 of 10

The Mustard Seed

Matthew 13:31-32 NLT… Here is another illustration Jesus used: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed planted in a field. 32 It is the smallest of all seeds, but it becomes the largest of garden plants; it grows into a tree, and birds come and make nests in its branches.”

Introduction: Hope is in the air! Hope that a mess will turn into a miracle.

Transition: When Jesus said that a nuisance of a shrub from a tiny seed, would grow into a large tree providing branches for birds to nest in, it was comedically clever.

Exposition: The point of this parable is that something can be highly unlikely, statistically improbable, and comically laughable, but God intervenes to turn it into something large and useful.

-It’s not in a mustard seeds nature to grow into a tree.

-Somebody is waiting on you to grow up!

Conclusion: What are you waiting for? Hope is in the air!
