The Kingdom of God is Like the Oldest Question in the Universe

The Kingdom of God is fantastic! It’s living a life that doesn’t make sense to other people.
The Kingdom of God operates outside our ideas of time and place. It occurs all over all at once, on the linear plane and in the waves of the ocean of time. Trying to understand how and why it is what it is, is like trying to grab a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

What if we really are surrounded by mustard seeds and empty fields? What if a little bit of faith is all that is needed?

What if the Kingdom of God is like a story we might not have heard. What if all the elements in our bodies were forged many, many millions of years ago, in the heart of a far away star that exploded and died. That explosion scattered those elements across the desolations of deep space. After so, so many millions of years, these elements came together to form new stars and new planets. And on and on it went. The elements came together and burst apart, forming shoes and ships and sealing wax, and cabbages and kings. Until eventually, they came together to make us. You and me, we are unique in the universe. What if that story is true?

What if the Kingdom of God is a story, and we need to make it a good one?
