Dollar Store Children Sermons 
not sure what your sermon topic has to to with the scripture readings can you help me out?
I think in one word: hope. There seems, in the texts, stuff going on that is out of our control, and hard to figure out. The “seeds growing” parable reminds me that God is in control, things happen that is not only beyond my control, but even happening with me not being aware of it and my hope stems from that. I think that in the Ezekiel text, the twig that is planted on the heights of the mountains reminds me of the remnant that God promises to do something with. Hope springs out again. God is in control.
So the object is something I have a hard time with, or can’t understand.
I hope that helps somewhat.
I appreciate you asking, because honestly, this was a hard text for me. It is a springboard for sure.
I really enjoy your Dollar Store Kids Sermons! Unfortunately only the intro music can be heard on the first video on this page for June 3rd: Text: Ezekiel 17:22-24 and Mark 4:26-34
