Please ExplainSample
I don't know if you've spent much time learning about trees, but they're pretty amazing. They might seem a little boring at first glance (I mean, all they do is sit there and blow in the wind, right?), but they're super powerful. Given enough time, a tree can break through rocks, cement, and even whole buildings. When a tree is healthy, almost nothing can stop its growth. This reminds me of a story Jesus once told. In this story, a man plants a tiny little mustard seed. Over time, that seed grows, and grows, and grows, until it becomes an enormous tree. Jesus says this mustard seed represents the kingdom of God because in God's kingdom, small insignificant things often grow into hugely important things — and nothing can stop what God is doing. When you join in on what God is up in the world, you get to be part of that growth by sharing the good news of Jesus with your words and actions. God's kingdom is always growing, and we get to be a part of it.

About this Plan
Some things are hard to understand — like chemistry or verb conjugations. When we face a problem we're struggling to understand, it helps to know someone we trust can explain it to us. Jesus spent time helping his followers understand difficult ideas about God. Jesus did this by using stories and metaphors, called parables. In this 20-day devotional series from Grow Curriculum we’ll unpack Jesus’ teachings.
