General Notes

Note

Mark 4:30-34 Expanded Wall Label: The grower of all things, the one who begets life itself, alone can grow mighty trees from a seed so smal. Trees with leaves of emerald hues; trees so large that even the birds of the air take refuge in its shade-- all from the tiniest of kernels.In this way, the great is borne from the seemingly meager, and so it is with the Kingdom of God.
