The more obsessed we become with the Kingdom, the more Holy Spirit is at work in us, the more transformed we will become. In this episode Pastor Ryan takes us through Matthew 13:33-35 and shares with us several core truths about having the Kingdom work through us like yeast in a batch of dough.

Core Truths for us to Consider this morning…

1.  Kingdom in us may have small beginnings, but when allowed to continue it grows.

2.  Kingdom has its affect from the inside and then out. Heart change leads to changed activity in the world around us…our behaviors, thoughts, attitudes.

4.  Yeast affects the whole batch… We want the Kingdom to be in and through all we do, think, and say. Affecting the world around us…
