We walk through Mark 4:21-34 and let Jesus’ parables confront how we live, how we listen, and how we measure growth. We talk honestly about fear, pride, distractions, and control, then land on practical ways to shine the light of Christ and trust God with results. 

• The lamp on a stand and why faith is meant to be visible 
• Reasons we keep faith private including fear of rejection and fear of living it consistently 
• The difference between shining Christ’s light and showing off ourselves 
• What “pay attention to what you hear” reveals about spiritual posture and growth 
• Practical ways to focus on Scripture including slowing down and removing phone distractions 
• The growing seed parable and trusting God to do the supernatural work 
• A candid look at parenting and wanting to control a child’s salvation 
• The mustard seed kingdom and staying faithful when growth feels small 
• Three self-check questions to carry into the week 

Let your light shine. Start in your home, move into your community, and let's take this thing to the world.
