Becoming All
God Wants You
To Be
Mark 4:26-29
The kingdom of God is
like a man who scatters
seed…
the seed sprouts and
grows …
all by itself the soil
produces grain …
as soon as the grain is
ripe he puts the sickle to
it.
1 Corinthians 3:6
I planted the seed,
Apollos watered it,
but God made it grow.
