Luke: Part 66- The Power of the Gospel
This morning we are studying the parable of the yeast. Jesus wants us to understand the power of the Gospel at work through His disciples, which includes you and me. Within forty years from the time Jesus spoke this parable, the kingdom of God had penetrated every area in the Roman Empire. Today, nearly one third of the world considers itself Christian. He started with a handful of people, and they “leavened the whole lump”. Our scripture reading for this morning is the Parable of the yeast from Luke 13:20-21. Jesus also asked, “What else is the Kingdom of God like? It is like the yeast a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough.”
