HOMILY THEME: THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS A MUSTARD SEED GROWING INTO THE BIGGEST SHRUB OF ALL

BY: Fr Deotacious Chikontwe SMA

Ezekiel 17:22-24; 2 Corinthians 5:6-10; Mark 4:26-34

INTRODUCTION
Good Morning my dear brothers and sisters in Christ, today we celebrate the 11th Sunday in the Ordinary Time, Liturgical Calendar Year B.

FROM OUR FIRST READING
In our first reading today we hear that, the Lord promises to take a shoot from a cedar, plant it on a high mountain, and make it a great tree where birds will find shelter. He will humble the proud and exalt the humble.

FROM OUR SECOND READING
The second reading this morning is telling us that, we walk by faith, not sight, aiming to please the Lord. We will be judged by Christ for our deeds.

FROM OUR GOSPEL READING
In our gospel passage, Jesus taught the crowds about the kingdom of God using parables, comparing it to a growing seed and a mustard seed that becomes a large plant. He explained these teachings privately to his disciples.

CONCLUSION
Dear friends in Christ, God humbles the proud and exalts the humble. He values humility and lifts up those who are lowly. We will be judged by Christ for what we have done. Our actions matter and we should strive to do good.
The kingdom of God starts small like a mustard seed but grows large. This shows the power of faith and the growth of God’s kingdom.
God takes a small shoot and grows it into a great tree. This shows His ability to nurture small beginnings into something great.
We are called to walk by faith, not by sight. Trusting in God’s plan, even when we cannot see the outcome, pleases Him.

Have a Blessed Sunday Everyone.
