Kingdom Influence

This lesson, in the King and his Kingdom series, looks at the parable of the leaven in Matthew 13:33 to discover secrets of the kingdom related to influence.  The leaven in the dough symbolizes the kingdom's influence on the world.  The four main points of the lesson are: (1) leaven (the kingdom’s influence) has a purpose, (2) a little leaven goes a long way, (3) results don’t happen immediately, and (4) leaven exerts its influence from within.  The lesson concludes with the encouragement to dream big and live big for Jesus, and to respond to the invitation offered.
