KRISTINA

Good Morning!

I am Kristina Crabtree and I am the Pastor of Mission and Evangelism at

Central UMC.

Today we live in a fast-past, more-is-better type of world. But what does the

Word of God say about this world? What did Jesus teach His disciples about

the Kingdom of Heaven?

We naturally know how to be a part of this world, but being a part of the

Kingdom of Heaven is like a foreign language to us, even those in the church.

John the Baptist proclaims the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, meaning it is

here and now, among us.

Who, what, when, where and how is this Kingdom of Heaven?  Jesus

proclaims to his disciples and to us that ‘the kingdom of heaven is like a

grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.” Hear the Good

News. We are all workers in the field. Here it is: It’s “a grain” and “a man.”

So be encouraged you workers in the Kingdom of God here and now on this

earth. It only takes one grain and one person to grow the Kingdom of

Heaven.
