Do You Still Have No Faith?

This Holy Friday we are reading from Mark 4:26-41 where Jesus uses parables to describe the Word and the Kingdom of God. The key takeaway is that as the Word of God increases in our life, our faith grows, allowing us to develop our spiritual maturity. As disciples of Christ, we have been called to live to a higher standard, extending beyond cultural standards and leaping into the standards of the Spirit. 

Believers must take accountability for their spiritual growth, not relying on the flawed nature of biblical figures as an excuse for stagnancy. The parable of the seed shows that we are the sowers, and God is the Source that develops the Word in a person, allowing it to grow.
