From Sunday's message:
Jesus, during one day of preaching, used six different parables describing what the Kingdom of God was like. Our parable today, The parable of the Leaven was one of those and has traditionally been interpreted in two diametrically opposed ways. One view sees the leaven as representing corruption, making this a parable of how the kingdom of God is going to go from bad to worse. The other sees the leaven as a good and positive image (representing the growth of the kingdom). Unfortunately, both may be wrong or at least incomplete. Today we come to hear then the parable of the leaven in a new way.

En Agape',
Rev. Michael Weeks
