The Kingdom of God Likened unto Yeast

This podcast episode explores the concept of the kingdom of God through the metaphor of leaven, as discussed in Galatians 5:9, where a small amount of leaven affects the whole lump. Leaven is traditionally seen as a symbol of contamination or corruption, but Jesus reinterprets it as the kingdom of God, which should transform the world rather than be corrupted by it. The story of King Josiah & Achan is used to illustrate how Christ's sacrifice, like a reformer, cleanses the world from sin. Ultimately, the gospel is meant to contaminate the world with God's love, leading to transformation and purification.

Key Scripture(s): A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.‭‭ (Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭9‬)
