Kingdom without Limits

Deb preached on a pair of related parables, the mustard seed and yeast. She observed that Jesus is trying to teach us something about the nature of God’s kingdom:

The Kingdom of God as described by Jesus is one without limits. With a geopolitical nation, you have a border that is in a fixed place. Cross the river and you’re in or you’re out. But, in contrast, the Kingdom of God can keep on growing. It doesn't reach a limit. In fact, science tells us that the universe itself – stars and galaxies and all created matter – is continuing to expand and speeding up the rate at which it is expanding. The Kingdom of God is a kingdom without limits. Our part in it as the people of God is to fertilize and remove weeds, to stir and to knead, to prepare the way, to maximize its growth.
