Ping!
Our regular pastor is on vacation and we had a substitute in his place. His sermon was centered on the parable of the yeast and the flour of the 5 parables in today’s lectionary. It was rather good about Jesus being the yeast in us and for us to be the yeast of Christianity amongst those in our communities.
An interesting sidelight he added was that the ‘3 full measures’ of flour was about 80 pounds of flour, rather than ‘3 cups’ as we might think.
