    Sunday Sermon | The Gospel of Mark: Unmet Expectations

    Mark 4:21–34 | Pastor Jason Smith FBC Boerne — Gospel of Mark Series Corrie ten Boom was furious about the fleas. Imprisoned at Ravensbruck, assigned to a barracks crawling with them, it felt like the final evidence that God had abandoned her. Her sister Betsy quoted 1 Thessalonians 5:18 — give thanks in all circumstances — and eventually, reluctantly, Corrie did. Months later she learned the guards had refused to enter Barracks 28 because of the fleas. The very thing she'd raged against had been shielding hundreds of women as they read Scripture together, worshipped, and came to faith in Jesus. At the beginning, all she could see were the fleas. At the end, she saw the hand of God. In this Father's Day message, Pastor Jason Smith opens Mark 4:21–34 — the lamp on the lampstand, the growing seed, and the mustard seed — and works through the question the disciples were quietly carrying: if the kingdom of God is here, why doesn't it look like it? The crowds are shrinking. The opposition is growing. This is not what they expected. Jesus answers with parables that reframe everything. The kingdom isn't hidden — but it requires ears to hear. It grows even when no one can see it. And what looks impossibly small today will one day be the place of refuge for people from every tribe, tongue, and nation on earth. A message for anyone in a season where faithfulness feels fruitless and the harvest seems a long way off. https://www.fbcboerne.org/sermons/ https://www.facebook.com/fbcboerne
