Cary Cox, from Mark 4:26-34. Jesus said the kingdom of God has come – yet, surprisingly, it looks insignificant and small to those who are blind to its beauty. It often looks like nothing is happening. But Jesus said we scatter the seeds and sleep. We rest because God is working behind the scenes! We can’t control it. It is the work of God. So be encouraged in the ministry – rest in Christ and trust him for the results!

Kingdom67 – Parables of the Unexpected Kingdom – Mat13 24-43
Cary Cox from Matthew 13:24-43. We see the persistent disciples coming to Jesus for explanation of truth while the crowds walk away confused. God is giving light to his people. Jesus teaches about the kingdom of heaven: it will start small and look insignificant, but grow steadily until the glory of God covers the earth! God will let the wicked continue to live on earth with the righteous until the end of the age – the harvest – when separation and judgment comes. These truths were surprising to Jesus’ hearers, but encourage his disciples to endure to the end. Glory is coming!
