In thus teaching Jesus uses the physical to give us a great spiritual truth and warning. The kingdom of God which includes the local church has always been under attack by the enemy and today Jesus takes into some specifics of that attack as we continue with the Parable of the mustard seed.

Discussion Questions – 06.14.26
Our text was only three verses and I’m assuming that you listened to the teaching on
Sunday. So, let’s read Matthew 13:31-33 and write out one thing that jumped out at you to share
with your group or for personal study.
1.These parables are tucked between the parable of the Wheat and Tares. What are your thoughts as to why it is tucked in like this? (It would help if you read the Wheat and Tares again: Matthew 13:24-43)
2. Quickly let’s rehearse something from last week. In Matthew 13:31 the man plants the
mustard seed in his field, and it grows into a tree. Vs. 38 defines the field. Put is all together and
what truth or truths can we draw from this? Explain
3. Now think. That little mustard seed grows into a large garden tree. Let’s dive deeper. Keeping
this truth in mind now read John 6:5-11. How can we relate the mustard seed AND the fish and
loaves to our lives as followers of Christ? Explain and can you give some evidence of this truth?
4. Big Question: We know the Birds are attempting to eat the good seed which is the word of
God. Why is Satan so interested in twisting, misinterpreting, and even eliminating the word of
God? Explain
5. I read Acts 20:26-31 as it pertained to guarding the word of God. Please take your time on this
one. Write out as many applications or statements Paul is making. Then take two and write out a
few sentences for clarity and discussion as to what he is telling us.
6. Here is your last and fun question. I talked about Hebrews 5:13-14. Read it and tell us which
you are. A Milk or Solid food Christian and why would you say that?
