The Power of Small Beginnings: Lessons from the Gospels

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this three-day journey through the Gospels, focused on the remarkable teaching of Jesus about faith and growth through the parable of the mustard seed. In Matthew 13:31–32, Jesus compares the kingdom of heaven to a mustard seed, one of the smallest seeds sown in the ground, yet it grows into the largest of garden plants. This metaphor challenges us to see how even the smallest acts of faith, obedience, or love can blossom into something incredibly impactful for God's kingdom.

Throughout the Gospels, Jesus emphasizes that God's work often starts with humble beginnings. Whether it’s calling a few fishermen, teaching a small group, or planting a simple seed, God’s power brings abundant growth beyond human expectations. This study will help you embrace the truth that your small steps of faith have eternal significance and can contribute to God's great kingdom expansion.
