Something precious

30 July - 5 August 2017

Snapshots of the kingdom

Matthew 13.31-33,44-52
  • The kingdom of heaven is like the seed that becomes a shrub, or yeast in a bowl of flour: a little goes a very long way.
  • Like buried treasure or a priceless jewel, it is worth giving up everything to possess.
  • But just as fishermen must sort their catch, so there will eventually be a sorting of good and evil.

This week's resources explore: 
miraculous growth; what is precious; the joy of discovery.
