A Beautiful Mess: Yeast
God often speaks in pictures and parables. Perhaps it helps us to understand when we see a picture or hear a story.
One picture that God paints from the very earliest pages of Scripture is the power of yeast. Put yeast in anything and it takes over. It multiplies and divides. A little yeast leavens the whole dough. God used this picture to explain sin to us. Sin in our lives. Sin in a community. It takes over.
Let’s talk about that this weekend as we read from 1 Corinthians 5:1-13.
