Together, they explore the parable of the mustard seed, the surprising nature of God’s Kingdom, the dangers of false teaching, and the coming separation between the righteous and the wicked.\n\nThe conversation also begins with reflections from New River’s recent Ladies Retreat, where the theme of “A Life Poured Out” sparked a powerful discussion about spiritual warfare, surrender, perseverance, and the cost of following Jesus.\n\nThrough personal testimonies, biblical teaching, and honest conversation, we’re reminded that the Kingdom of God often works in ways we least expect, that no act of faithfulness is insignificant, and that Jesus is worthy of everything we have to give.\n\nScripture: Matthew 13:24–52, Colossians 1:29, Mark 10:29–30\n\nJoin us as we continue studying God’s Word and learning what it means to live fully surrendered to Christ.\n\nLearn more about New River Church at https://newriver.church\n\nJoin us Sunday mornings at 9:00 or 11:15 AM.\n\n#Matthew13 #ParablesOfJesus #MustardSeed #KingdomOfGod #BibleStudy #TheOverflowPodcast #NewRiverChurch"}
