The Parables of the Lighted Lamp, Seed Growing, and Mustard Seed

Jesus tells three parables - The Parables of the Lighted Lamp, Seed Growing, and Mustard Seed - in quick succession in the book of Mark to give us insight into the Kingdom of God. In this lesson, we look at the first two of these three parables. In them, Jesus wants us to understand that God is in control of his kingdom. He sent Jesus to the world to serve as a light who shines into the darkness, and he serves as a farmer who sows, grows, and harvests his crops on his own. We should never fall into the trap of thinking we are in control. Only God is.
