It's one of the shortest parables Jesus told, but just like its subject, this parable is packed with the power of growth. "The kingdom of God is like a mustard seed," Jesus said. The kingdom starts out small, but when it grows, it grows into something no one saw coming. Join us for "The Mustard Seed" from Matthew 13:31-32 as once again Jesus disrupts our assumptions about the kingdom of God.

Bees and Natzi's? We discuss these topics and more on this week's podcast covering Luke 10:25-37 of the Good Samaritan.

Start this year’s Lenten season with a service of prayer, humility, and the reminder of our frailty and need of a savior.

The opposition is heating up! The Jewish religious authorities seize their opportunity before the Roman governor to charge Paul with sedition, a charge they know he can’t ignore. But is it true?
