The Kingdom of Increase

Matthew 13:31-35
The Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Yeast contrast our earthly perceptions of what God’s kingdom looks like with its true nature. The gospel message we carry began with the birth of a baby in a stable, and by worldly standard appears utterly weak and foolish – yet Jesus declares that this tiny seed will one day fill the whole earth.

Sunday 6th October, 6:30 service, Abi Ord.
Romans 8:12-17.
As a result of our new identity in Christ, we are now adopted as sons and daughters of the living God, able to call him ‘Abba, Father’. The work of the Spirit affirms our new identity as God’s children and followers of Christ, leading to suffering and then glory.
Knowing our identity as sons and daughters of the living God is the most important part of our life as Christians.
