teachings from October 2025

October 26th, 2025 “The Mustard Seed and the Leaven”

Jesus’ parables of the mustard seed and the leaven (Matthew 13:31–33) show how God’s kingdom begins small but grows with transforming power. Yet there’s a caution too: what begins pure can be infiltrated by pride, compromise, or false teaching. The mustard seed reminds us that true growth is from God, not hype — and the leaven warns that what spreads inside us matters as much as what shows outside.
