Steps in the Mustard Field

Growing in Faith; Pondering God’s Questions

 It was springtime in Israel, peacefully green and inviting, and the golden blossoms along the road welcomed us to the land where God sent His Son to walk on the earth.  “What are those yellow flowers on the hills?” I asked our Israeli driver. 

“Oh, those are the mustard plants,” he responded, not at all fazed with my excitement. Mustard plants blossomed everywhere, fields and fields and fields of them. I could imagine Jesus gesturing to the glowing wildflowers and teaching that “faith as small as a mustard seed” could move a mountain (Matthew 17:20 NIV). The seed of faith, planted and watered and nurtured, grows because of the power of our faithful God.

This summer, join us for a walk through the mustard field, where we’ll pause to observe God at work in the lives of Jonah and Elijah and Peter. We’ll see where God planted these men and fed their faith and helped them grow. And we, too, will grow in faith as we ponder the questions God asked them.
