#415: Why Would You Hide a Lamp? - Mark part 14

Author: Jessica White May 20, 2026 Duration: 15:59
Scripture: Mark 4:21–34Series: Gospel of Mark, Part 14 In this episode, we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark as Jesus teaches the crowds using parables. Last time, we learned how people respond differently to God’s Word in the Parable of the Sower. Today, Jesus builds on that teaching and helps us understand something new: not just how we respond, but what God is doing. Through the pictures of a lamp, a growing seed, and a tiny mustard seed, Jesus teaches us: God’s truth is like a light—it is meant to be seen, not hidden  God is always at work, even when we cannot see it  His kingdom may start small, but it grows strong and cannot be stopped  ⁠🎨 DON'T miss Go Minno for faith filled shows you can trust.  📣 How Does My Child Get a Listener Shout-Out?
