“He also said, ‘With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable will we use for it? It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.’" Mark 4:30-32
we think it is about
multi-campus churches,
the GOAT preachers,
the budget which wows
all our colleagues, while
you wait for us to discern
that what your kingdom
is truly about is
a safe space for the vulnerable
a family for the forgotten
a welcome to the stranger
a rainbow flag atop the steeple
a voice for justice
a heart for the environment
