Sermon: The Parable of the Leaven
Series: The Parables of Jesus
Scripture: Matthew 13:3
Teacher: Pastor Paul Lawler
In this sermon, Pastor Paul Lawler delves into one of Jesus' parables from Matthew 13:33, where He says, "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened." But what does this parable really mean, and why did Jesus choose to teach in parables in the first place?
Discover how the seemingly small beginnings of faith can lead to a global transformation, and learn how the leaven of the Kingdom advances through the Gospel, sanctification, and its effects on cultures. Throughout the sermon, Pastor Paul emphasizes that appearances can be deceptive, and God's work, though initially unimpressive, has a profound and everlasting impact. As he explores the parable of the leaven, we'll reveal its ultimate significance in the great arc of history, as described in Revelation 11:15, "The kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Messiah, and He will reign forever and ever."
