The yeast of the kingdom
Matthew 13:33
33He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour until all of it was leavened.”
20And again he said, “To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? 21It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour until it was all leavened.”
32it is smaller than all the seeds, but when it has grown, it is greater than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the sky come and nest in its branches.”

34All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and without a parable he was telling them nothing,
1. What it says
On which four kinds of ground did the sower's seed fall (vv. 4–8)?
2. What it means
Why did Jesus teach the crowds in parables (vv. 10–13)?
3. How I live it
In the sower's parable, worry can choke the word (v. 22). What chokes it most in your day?
