Guest preacher The Rev. Canon Scott Gunn reflects on Jesus' five parables of the kingdom of heaven from Matthew 13, exploring how God's kingdom often begins in small, unexpected ways yet grows into something life changing. Through the images of the mustard seed, yeast, hidden treasure, the pearl of great price, and the fishing net, he considers how we encounter God's kingdom, sometimes while searching for it and sometimes when it finds us and why it is worth giving everything to embrace. He also reflects on God's justice, reminding us that our calling is to live as God's people while leaving judgment to God. Ultimately, this sermon invites us to see the kingdom of heaven as God's way of life breaking into the present, marked by righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
