The Butterfly Effect and God’s Kingdom


 June 16, 2024

Did you know that a butterfly flapping its wings can change the path, intensity and even existence of a massive storm, like a tornado or hurricane!?

“The Butterfly Effect” is the term to describe how in a complex and interconnected system, the smallest change of one variable can lead to a big change in the outcome.

As Christians, we’ve confessed a belief in the “Butterfly Effect” before mathematical models were developed around it.  We have long worshipped a God who causes — in this interconnected world — butterfly wings to flap and change the world.  Pastor Rob develops this theme by looking at the parable of the mustard seed (Mark 4).

This is a message we need to hear, especially in our world of “big and terrible” news in which we lose all sense of our and even God’s capacity to make a difference.
