There is a principle that you see working itself out on every page of the Bible. There is a truth that you see being played out in every account of the God’s Word. There is a formula that you see carried out as God works out salvation for us and for the world. I like to call it the “mustard seed formula.” No, I’m talking about faith the size of a mustard seed. That’s another truth for another time. I’m talking about the way that God works in this world, the way it appears and the way it really appears. It seems small. It seems insignificant. It seems weak. It seems foolish. But it is hardly that. It is the mustard seed formula. God takes something small, insignificant, weak and foolish and accomplishing some big, glorious and majestic. This weekend in our worship we’ll be exploring this principle, this truth, as we look at the Parable of the Mustard Seed in Matthew 13:31-33.
21 For since in the wisdom of God the worldthrough its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength. 1 Corinthians 1:21-25
