Mark 4 26-34

“The kingdom of God is like a mushroom spore filling up your tree house. You can't stop it. You can't stop it. That's how God works. The spore is within you and the kingdom of God will continue to tell it's overflowing. It comes out of you. That is the kingdom of God. It's like a spore, and Jesus tells you, look at the seeds that you see in all the gardens all around you. And I want you to do this when you walk home and you'll see trees beside you. You'll see them up on the roof there. Every single one of those plants show the principle of life that God has planted here, and it shows you the kingdom of God. Because the kingdom of God is about growth. God is about life. That's what God does. That's what he loves to do, and he is growing his kingdom within you, within us. See the hand of God, and only God knows how the earth causes the seed to grow automatically. we got some scientists here. You can get into some of the biochemistry and stuff. But really in the end, it's magical. It's a mystery. You put the seed in it and it comes up. That is how God works, and the principle of life that God puts in plants, he's put inside us all. And now he is a God of all life and growth within you.”
