1. The Mustard Seed
• The Kingdom started with One Man, Jesus, the Son of God. (John 1:14)
• Jesus was “planted” on this earth to start the New Kingdom and spread the word, first using His twelve disciples. (Matthew 4:18020, 10:1-4)
• Through Peter, the seed that was planted goes from 1, to 12, to 3000. (Acts 2:36-41)
2. The Leaven
• Yeast is mixed into dough and grows from within.
• The dough is affected by every bit of yeast. So it is with us and so it is with the Kingdom of God. (2 Cor. 3:17-18)
• The world is dough, we must be the yeast that lifts it up. (Matt. 5:14-16, 1 Peter 2:12, Ats 16:25-34)
3. The Treasure
• The Kingdoms worth is insurmountable. It is greater than anything we could have on earth. (Phil. 3:7-11)
• Paul counts everything he has lost as “dung”.
• One who lives with Jesus is among the richest on the planet. (Rev. 4:9-11)
