Today I want to talk to you about the Kingdom of Heaven.

Matthew 13:33 says the Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast that a woman took

and mixed into three measures of dough. If you move to a new nation you

will learn about living in that new nation, its rules and its

privileges. You'll need to know the speed limit, paying taxes, freedoms,

how it all works. There may be a different form of communication.

There's a lot of talk about the Kingdom of Heaven, I mean, a major theme

in Christ's teachings. Here He says it's like yeast? He warns us to

beware the yeast of the Pharisees. In Galatians Paul refers to yeast as

when we start to add work to our blessing. Well, you are righteous by

faith in Christ, and you also gotta... Jesus here is talking about the

Kingdom being like yeast. Are you familiar with the whole yeast thing?

The last supper is representation of the Passover, where there was bread

with no yeast and a sacrificed lamb. Then the next 7 days was no yeast

at all. What is this yeast business? As we talk about it, God is going

to reveal to you His grace and forgiveness through this study. The

teaching that you've heard about yeast, if you've heard one, is that a

little bit works through the whole batch of dough, just a bit of sin is

going to infect you and corrupt you entirely. Today you are going to

hear something different about yeast. The problem is, too many

Christians live a Christianity as though Jesus didn't die for us and

change everything, and so get ready for a complete mental

shift.
