The Kingdom of God: Unexpected Growth & Patient Faith

Mar 16, 2025    Gary Sandberg

In this Second Sunday in Lent sermon, Pastor Gary the powerful metaphors in scripture that speak about the ways that nature reveals how God breaks into our world. Jesus’ parables of the mustard seed and the leaven show that the Kingdom of God does not follow human expectations—it grows in ways we cannot control and requires patience as it expands within us.


🔹 Key Themes:

- How nature unveils new ways that God reaches us 🌱

- The Kingdom of God grows in unexpected ways, beyond our assumptions

- Lent as a season of waiting, where God is at work even when we can’t see it

- The role of the church in receiving and nurturing the Word of God


🌿 Faith is like a seed—God plants, we wait, and His Kingdom flourishes.
