"The Kingdom of Heaven is like the yeast a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough." Matthew 13:33 NLT It's great having some yeast in the packet in the cupboard...but it's not fulfilling it's purpose sitting in the packet with the rest of the yeast...that only happens when it's out getting worked into the flour...the Kingdom is at work IN us and it's at work THROUGH us as we live our lives...out where the baking happens, where the heat comes on, where you can be kneaded and pushed around... where life can be messy...out making a difference not sitting in a nice package in the cupboard... #yeast #kingdomvalues #redeemedforapurpose

Jesus also used this illustration: "The Kingdom of Heaven is like the yeast a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough." Matthew 13:33 NLT Yeast converts sugar into carbon dioxide which is what makes our bread what it is. It's yeast that transforms bread from being flat and hard into the the tasty bread that we love... And that's what the Kingdom does...transforms us from the inside...takes what we have, our gifts, talents, character...our responses... our choices... even our dreams and desires... and transforms them to be more gospel flavoured, more kingdom shaped...still us, but a lighter, tastier version! #yeast #kingdomvalues

Jesus also used this illustration: "The Kingdom of Heaven is like the yeast a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough." Matthew 13:33 NLT One of the properties of yeast is that it multiplies exponentially...1 becomes two...becomes 4... 16... And this is the way of the Kingdom - our job is just to bless, encourage, teach, share with, walk with, support, love, show grace towards, be Jesus to, point to God, pray for, pray with, live out our faith in front of...the 1 who is in front of us. And the Kingdom will multiply what we do...however small or insignificant we think what we do is...yeast is the tiniest of things...yet multiplies... So keep writing, singing, making art, giving food, preaching, messaging, giving, parenting, forgiving...1 person at a time... #yeast #kingdomvalues
