The Tiny Seed

Jesus told a story about a tiny seed:

'The kingdom of God is like a mustard seed. It's one of the SMALLEST seeds there is. You can barely see it!

But when you plant it in the ground, it grows and grows and GROWS! It becomes one of the BIGGEST plants in the garden—so big that birds can build nests in its branches!'

What was Jesus teaching?

When Jesus started His ministry, He just had a few followers. Twelve guys! That's like a tiny seed.

But look what happened! That tiny group grew and grew. Now there are BILLIONS of Christians all around the world! The small seed became a HUGE tree!

This parable is also about YOU. Maybe you feel small. Maybe you think you can't do much for God. You're just a kid! What difference can you make?

But remember the mustard seed! When you do something kind, when you tell someone about Jesus, when you pray—those are like tiny seeds.

God can take your small act of faith and grow it into something HUGE!

Never think you're too small to matter. God loves using small things to do BIG stuff! Just plant your little seed of faith, and watch what God does!
