Small is beautiful
Mark 4.26-34Jesus tells two stories about seeds, reminding us that it is from small beginnings, and through organic growth, that the kingdom comes about.
This week's reading, Mark 4.26-34, provides us with an opportunity to:
- appreciate that disciples have to wrestle to understand parables
(AAA & CYP) - recognise that Jesus speaks of the kingdom of God to us in parables (AAA)
- recognise that Jesus speaks of the kin-dom of God to us in parables (CYP)
- consider the impact of small actions (CYP).
This is week two of the seven-week theme: Following the footsteps where we explore who Mark’s Jesus is and ask what it means to become his apprentice.
