Despite all man’s attempts to build earthly kingdoms, God is establishing his kingdom as the gospel goes forward throughout the world today. And he has promised to consummate this work when Jesus, the world’s true King, returns in all his glory. Amazingly, God uses us in his kingdom work, both in receiving and scattering the seed of his word. In this message from Mark 4:21–34, David Platt helps us understand the parables of the kingdom and how these stories give us hope for the future. Though we don’t always perceive what God is doing with our eyes, we can rest assured that the King is establishing his kingdom.

We want to invite you to something we look forward to every year: Secret Church.

This year, we’ll study the life of Elijah. We’ll pray specifically for those who are suffering for their faith, and we’ll act together to make Jesus known among the nations. Early registration at the best rate is now open through February 17.
