God’s Intentional Will

THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 35: Mustard Seed and Leaven

 
Jesus was a master storyteller, utilizing everyday items to convey messages about the Kingdom of God. He likened the Kingdom of Heaven to a mustard seed and said that a tiny amount of faith is all it takes for believers to do supernatural works. It is not the size of your faith, but your sincerity in believing that all things are possible that makes things happen with the Lord. The God-man also spoke about yeast and what occurs when it is mixed with a lump of dough. Leaven is like sin and can spread quickly. But Jesus also pointed out that the Kingdom of Heaven would spread to the whole world and used the illustration of leaven to reinforce the power of the Gospel in relation to yeast permeating a batch of dough. The Son of God spoke in parables because the majority of the people hardened their hearts toward His message, rejected Him as the Messiah, and were not open to the treasures of heaven.

The Endtime Church and the Reign of the Antichrist

We are a Bible centered group of believers who desire to grow in the full knowledge of Jesus Christ without compromise to His Word. We believe, teach and practice all things that Jesus taught and were practiced by the Church in the book of the Acts of the Apostles. 

Jesus called his disciples to be salt and light. Salt is a preservative but it is also something that adds savor and enjoyment to our daily food. Light is a symbol of truth; it is comforting, penetrating, guiding and exposes darkness. We seek to preserve biblical truth and shed the glorious light of the Gospel in a world that is consumed by darkness.
