A Top-Down Faith:
From The Tiniest Seed Grows The Largest Kingdom

Usually, a kingdom advances and is secured through things like military might or political force or worldly wealth. It can be tempting to believe the same holds true in the Kingdom of God. Perhaps we think churches would flourish if we had the right rulers passing and enforcing the right laws. Or we believe that for a church to do good a robust budget is required. Political force. Worldly wealth. This way of thinking is breathtakingly wrong.

We need God to give us the top-down faith that grasps the fact that the Kingdom of God advances in ways that are imperceptible. Through something that seems insignificant to most—the gospel—the King of kings establishes his reign in human hearts. Even Jesus himself taught that the gospel seems unimpressive, for he often compared the gospel to a tiny seed. Yet, within a seed is hidden life. As the seed of the gospel is planted, the largest of all kingdoms grows.

Services are on Saturday at 5:00pm; Sunday at 8:00am and 10:30am
