Vicar's News - 2 October 2022

Van Gough, Mulberry Bush

Prior to his comment about the mustard seed uprooting the mulberry tree, Jesus had given warning to his disciples to not put a stumbling block in the way of “little” ones.He also gave instruction to continually forgive someone who repeatedly offends, yet who repeatedly asks for forgiveness. To this instruction, the disciples say, “Increase our faith!” That prayer request for increased faith is what prompted Jesus to declare mustard seed faith could uproot the entrenched roots of mulberry trees.


It is not the size of faith but the focus on simple obedience by faith?
