Here Jesus gives to pictures to help use understand the growth of His kingdom. Both use the illustration of growing plants. There are a couple main points that I want to point out from these two parables:
1. In the First Parable the Farmer plants the seed, and water the ground but does not actively make the plant grow. This is true of Gods Kingdom, God is the one who makes it grow, it does not take human action.
2. In the second parable we see that the kingdom starts small. This is true, God's kingdom started with a handful of individuals who caught on fire for God. Then it grew. Gods can use small groups for his glory and for the expansion of his kingdom. We just need to be willing.
