(Jesus continued)  It (the kingdom of God) is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his garden; and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches.”  Luke 13:19 Lord when I stop to think about what you are saying here my heart […]

He (Jesus) said therefore, “What is the kingdom of God like?  And to what shall I compare it?  Luke 13:18 Lord thank You for always reminding the crowd why You were upon the earth. Thank You for always pointing to Your Father. Thank You for the hope You gave those there that day and the […]
