"The Kin-dom of Heaven is like a mustard seed... No, wait, it's like yeast mixed into flour... Maybe, it's like buried treasure?  Or a valuable pearl!" Matthew 13

This week we're presented with four more puzzling parables. Jesus desperately wants his followers (including us) to understand something about the community, the way of life, that he is calling us into. But it's evidently a bit hard to describe.

Jesus uses parables not because they clear everything up, but because they force us to think, and maybe to change. Join us this Sunday as we continue to puzzle through the parables!
