1. The parable of the seed that grows (26-29)

Jesus taught about the kingdom of God in parables. The kingdom of God is hidden in men's hearts like a seed in the earth. It is exposed when it grows and changes men and societies. When Jesus comes again, it will be fully exposed. We cannot make a seed grow. We plant it and water it, but it grows of itself, because there is life in the seed itself. When we receive the gospel, this seed of the word is planted in our hearts. It sprouts and grows and produces in us the good fruit of Jesus' character. Jesus within transforms life.

2. The parable of the mustard seed (30-34)

The kingdom of God is like a mustard seed. Its beginning is small, but it grows to be very big. One person who loves Jesus and obeys God's word is such a seed. If the kingdom is in one man, then the whole campus can change; if the seed of the kingdom is in one man, the whole nation can be changed.

Application: Lord, may your kingdom come and your will be done in me and in my land.
One Word: The seed is growing
