are not least among the ruling cities of Judah,
for a ruler will come from you
who will be the shepherd for my people Israel.’”

Every seed has potential to grow
Mk 4:30-32
Jesus said, “How can I describe the Kingdom of God? What story should I use to illustrate it?
It is like a mustard seed planted in the ground.
It is the smallest of all seeds, but it becomes the largest of all garden plants
; it grows long branches, and birds can make nests in its shade.”Slide12
Matt 13:31-32
“God’s kingdom is like a pine nut that a farmer plants. It is quite small as seeds go, but
in the course of years
it grows into a huge pine tree, and eagles build nests in it.”Slide13Slide14
Every seed has the potential to multiply
An adult sequoia tree disperses 300,000 to 400,000 seeds a year. Slide15

The harvesters are paid good wages, and the fruit they harvest is people brought to eternal life. What joy awaits both the planter and the harvester alike! You know the saying, ‘One plants and another harvests.’ And it’s true.
I sent you to harvest where you didn’t plant; others had already done the work, and now you will get to gather the harvest
.”Slide16
