The Mustard Seed. Rev. Jeremiah Lal Shahbaz Kalendae, preaching; Karen Hsu Patterson, worship associate. The Christian Church arose from humble beginnings. “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed…though it is the smallest of all seeds, when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.” —Matthew 13:31–32  The mustard seed is akin to individual faith and the wider church community. Though small, it grows larger than we can possibly imagine. No matter how modest, it can flourish and impact lives profoundly, embodying the transformative power of belief.
