About this talk

Jesus tells two short stories about seed: one that grows while the farmer sleeps, and one so small you’d miss it in your hand. Both say the same thing — God’s kingdom does not depend on our effort or our size, and it will not stay small.

If you feel like a small church on a small estate, this is a talk for you.

Mark 4:26–34
