TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

Mark 4:30–32 - [30] And he said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it? [31] It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown on the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth, [32] yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.” (ESV)

0:00.0	Hey, my friends. Hey, when you think about all the nations, all the kingdoms of the world,
0:10.8	what do you imagine might be the very best kingdom possible? Does it have grand castles? Is it very
0:20.1	wealthy? Is it a place where the citizens are healthy and strong and vibrant and happy? Well, friends, today we get to learn about God's kingdom, the kingdom of God and how God is building it in Mark chapter 4, verses 30 through 32. So join me as we dive in on the morning mindset. It's our
0:39.2	opportunity to get our minds aligned with the truth of God's word for this day. I'm thankful that
0:44.8	you're with me. You know, I love podcasting. I think it's a great medium. It's a great opportunity

1:35.9	ears and hearts that are open. So help us today to see what you're saying to us. In Jesus' name,
1:43.2	amen. Okay, Mark chapter 4, we'll be looking at verses
1:47.0	30 through 32. And Jesus said, with what can we compare the kingdom of God? Or what parables shall we
1:56.0	use for it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown in the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on the earth.
2:06.6	Yet, when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants,
