Today, we're looking at two parables—the Parable of the Mustard Seed and The Parable of the Leaven/Yeast. These parables are short and belong together. Each one should help us understand the other. Yet, much of Jesus' teachings are paradoxical—especially the parables. And what we're going to learn today is that the Kingdom of Heaven (today on Earth) is not what we think. Jesus will teach us through two simple illustrations—seeds and yeast. What does that have to do with you?! Everything!
