Destiny and Value of the Kingdom (Part 1)
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg explores the parables of the mustard seed and the leaven in Matthew 13. While on the surface, these parables may seem to imply the success and growth of the kingdom of God, Gregg draws attention to the presence of birds and leaven, which can represent evil and corruption. He argues that the small beginning of the mustard seed and the transformative power of the leaven point to the profound uplifting effect that King Jesus can have on society. Rather than relying on political or sociological means, Gregg believes that the Church can be a blessing to society by spreading the message of the kingdom.
