The Reward of Obedience to the Lord

Happy are those who obey the Lord, who live by his commands.

Your work will provide for your needs; you will be happy and prosperous. Your wife will be like a fruitful vine in your home, and your children will be like young olive trees around your table. A man who obeys the Lord will surely be blessed like this.

May the Lord bless you from Zion! May you see Jerusalem prosper all the days of your life!

- Psalms 128:1-5

The Parable of the Mustard Seed

Jesus asked, "What is the Kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it with? It is like this. A man takes a mustard seed and plants it in his field. The plant grows and becomes a tree, and the birds make their nests in its branches."

The Parable of the Yeast

Again Jesus asked, "What shall I compare the Kingdom of God with? It is like this. A woman takes some yeast and mixes it with a bushel of flour and the whole batch of dough rises."

- Luke 13:18-21
