The Seed of the Kingdom (Part 13)
About this episode
This episode discusses the role of individuals in God's Kingdom and the importance of recognizing God's credit for growth and accomplishments.
The Summons: Grappling With God’s Kingdom and King (Part 13) The Seed of the Kingdom Mark 4:26-34 We’ve all been there. The teacher assigns a group project, and you’re paired with two people who likely won’t do a thing. You spend all week working, and by the time presentation day arrives, your only goal is to make sure the teacher knows exactly who did all the work. From Lego towers in the living room, to reference pages in academic writing, we are wired from a young age to claim credit for our accomplishments. We want the acknowledgment we feel we’ve earned. But the Kingdom of God operates differently. Scripture reminds us that we are simply vessels in the greater plan of the kingdom, not the source. God tells his children that all credit should be given to him, because any growth we see is a product of his plan being carried out. Join us this Sunday as we read the parables of Jesus and rediscover our role in God’s great plan.
