Parables: Yeast

Episode 1
Yeast is a) Delicious, b) Corrupting, c) Representative of Evil, or d) a Kind of mold spore?
In one parable Jesus told the crowds who followed him, yeast was an illustration of the Kingdom of God. But that flew in the face of traditional teaching about leaven being nothing more than putrefaction. How and why could he make such a crazy analogy?
Join us as we examine one of the many parables Jesus told, the reasons he told them, and why we should never thing of them as simple moralistic stories that everyone would agree on.
