This passage says that the kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed. Have you ever seen a mustard seed? There was a speaker who very excitedly brought us a mustard seed. He put the seed in his palm. There was a brother who breathed a little bit too hard, and he blew the seed off from the palm of the speaker. We spent quite some time before finding the seed on the floor. A mustard seed is really that minuscule - one breath and it is blown away.

The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, very tiny. But when it grows, it grows into the biggest of vegetables. Here it says how the kingdom of heaven will continually grow on the Earth. God's spirit reminds us that from the point of men, the kingdom of heaven is not prominent on the Earth. Even churches' services are not prominent on the Earth. But when we look upon God with our faith, we find that the kingdom of heaven is continually growing, until the day when Jesus Christ returns.

Brothers and sisters, do we have faith of believing in God's promises as we build our churches? The Bible says that if our faith is as small as this mustard seed, we can command mountains to move. God will personally accomplish the faith within us, even as small as a mustard seed. May God help us to depend on the faith of a mustard seed when we build the church and serve God together. We trust that there is nothing impossible for God, and God will raise us up to accomplish His work.
