The Kingdom Assured

Pastor Nick Connolly
Grace United Methodist Church

The Third of Thirteen Sundays in Pentecost – June 14, 2009
Scripture: Mark 4:26-34

The names of the Sundays are taken from
The Bible Through the Seasons: A Three-Year Journey with the Bible.

The Kingdom is assured to come as surely as the seeds planted in the ground will grow into what God created them to be. This happens all by itself.

Is the Church and the Kingdom the same thing? Do we build the church or is the church to grow by itself? The challenge of the institutional church is that it not get lost in building itself instead of providing a space where God's love can grow and expand. The smiles that we give to others in love and respect for them, are the seeds that will have God's Kingdom of love and peace take root in their hearts.
