Today is my Dad's birthday so I offer a tribute to him here. Imagine how proud he must be that his son is a published writer! And just think of how much more pride it will give him if one or two people actually read this some day ;)
This Sunday I will be preaching at my parents' church on the YEAST of the kingdom of God. Jesus made a fairly surprising comparison for the kingdom when he asked himself the question: "What shall I compare the kingdom of God to?" (apparently Jesus felt fine ending a sentence with a preposition!).
His answer to himself and the crowd was to choose a small thing: a mustard seed; and a hidden thing: yeast! Of all the ways to convey the kingdom, Jesus settled on these. So, this Sunday I am going to take God's people who gather at Grace Bible Chapel through some of my thoughts on what these particular comparisons mean for us.
