The Mustard Seed … While on earth, Christ spoke parables. These parables taught spiritual truth. This spiritual truth benefits us today … Begin in Matthew 13. The reason for parables (v ) Text: Matthew 13:31-32

The Mustard Seed … Understanding Matthew 13:31-32 The kingdom would start small and expand exponentially. This is just what happened! Acts 2:41, 47 = 3000 …. “added daily” Acts 4:4 = 5000 Acts 5:14, 6:7, 8:12, 9:31, 21:20 Daniel 2:44-45

The Mustard Seed … Birds Lodge In Branches … What kind of birds are these? Remember, this is a SPIRITUAL discussion! These birds …. Come to the tree for refuge. “Lodge” = live/dwell If their nests are here, then they raise young here.

The Mustard Seed … What Does This Mean? Where is YOUR lodging? (Spiritually) Where do you find rest/safety? How are you raising your children? When Satan tries to harm you, where do you hide? You COULD build your “nest” somewhere else. But why??

The Mustard Seed … What Does This Mean? Will we take advantage of what the Lord has provided or not? One day, this kingdom will be “delivered up” to God (I Cor. 15:24). If you’re not in the kingdom, you’ll be lost!

“What Must I Do To Be Saved?” Hear The Gospel (Rom. 10:17) Believe In Christ (Jn. 8:24) Repent Of Sins (Lk.13:3) Confess Christ (Rom. 10:10) Be Baptized (I Pet. 3:21) For The Erring Child: Repent (Acts 8:22), Confess (I Jn. 1:9), Pray (Acts 8:22)
