“Seeded In Greatness”Part 6 “From Humble Beginnings”Matthew 13:31-35Slide2

Matthew 13:31–33 The Mustard Seed and the Leaven31 He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. 32 It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.” 33 He told them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.” Slide3

Matthew 13:34–35 Prophecy and Parables34 All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed, he said nothing to them without a parable. 35 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet: “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world.” Slide4

Introduction:The Holy Bible is best understood, from an understanding of God’s Eternal Plan. This includes His rescue plan, otherwise known as “The Plan of Salvation”. This was formulated by the Triune God, before the foundation of the world. Slide5

Seeded In Greatness! Do you perceive what our Lord has deposited in us? We have been potentiated, not only to sustain the life that is in the Seed/Word, but we have been potentiated to reproduce that life.Slide6

Matthew 13:31–32 The Mustard Seed31 He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. 32 It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”Slide13

He took the seed, which means, he made it his own. Next he sowed the seed. His action revealed that he believed that the seed that he had gained preserved life in it, and that it was able to produce a harvest. This belief, moved the man into continuous action, until the seed produced what he was believing for.Slide17

A grain of mustard seed is extremely small. What he received appeared insignificant. It did not look like much.Slide18

How do we move From Humble Beginnings?To Being “…Larger than the garden plants and

become a tree

, so that birds of the air come and make nests in its

branches

”

Matt. 13:32Slide19

Faith In ActionThe man did something with the seed that he received, because he believed something about the seed.Slide20

Yet he did something with the seed that he received, because he believed something about the seed.What did he do with the seed?He planted it in his field.Slide21

From Humble Beginnings

“To larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree”Slide22

From Humble BeginningsIn The NaturalWhat have we learned?The man believed that the seed that he received was good (He believed It was alive).What he believed about the seed, caused him to plant the seed. (He acted upon what he believed)

He then gave the seed what it needed to grow.

He continued to act until he had what he was believing for. Slide23

What Have We Learned?We learned from : Mark 4:14 The sower sows the Word. Luke 8:11

The

seed is the

Word

of God. Slide24

We learned from John 1:1-4, &1:14John 1:1–4 1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2

He was in the beginning with God.

3

All things were made through

Him

, and without

Him

was not any thing made that was made.

4

In

Him

was life, and the life was the light of men.

John 1:14

And

the Word

became

flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen

His

glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. Slide25

From Humble BeginningsAs In The Natural, So In The SpiritualWhat have we learned?The seed is The Word, and the Word is Jesus there is life in The Word.What he believed about the seed, caused him to plant the seed. (He acted upon what he believed)

He then gave the seed what it needed to grow.

He continued to act until he had what he was believing for. Slide26

Now that we know that the seed is the Word.Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. Hebrews 4:2 For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened. Matthew 13:31 He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. Slide27

From Humble Beginnings1) He took the seed/Word Rom. 10:17 2) He mixed it with faith Heb. 4:23) He sowed In his field Matt. 13:31 3) Water Your Seed (Pray, Read, Meditate, and Study the Holy Bible)

4) Believe

For Your Harvest! Only Believe!!!Slide28

Matthew 13:31–32 The Mustard Seed 31 He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. 32 It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”Slide29

Matthew 13:32 It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”kládos means “shoot,” “bud,” “branch,” and is used figuratively for children.This refers to new life as in a new believer.Here at Calvary Temple we call them new disciple.Slide30

From Humble BeginningsIn The NaturalWhat have we learned?The man believed that the seed that he received was good (He believed It was alive).What he believed about the seed, caused him to plant the seed. (He acted upon what he believed)
