Hidden and Holy

Pastor Julie preaches on Matthew 13:31–33, 44–51. A mustard seed. A pinch of yeast. A coin, a pearl, a net. The sermon turns to five small stories about the reign of God—and how it keeps showing up in the most ordinary places. In these brief parables, Jesus points to a kindom that grows quietly, hides in plain sight, and turns up where we least expect it. The sermon considers how the holy might be tucked into the ordinary corners of your own life. Readings: Psalm 119:129-136; Romans 8:31-39; Matthew 13:31-33, 44-51.
