    The Parable Shocks But Christ's Message Is Powerful

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 16, 2025
     | 393 views

    The goal is to spread the message of Christ and His Church of the will of God to save all human beings. If the authorities are dragging us off to jail it’s hard to fulfill that mission.

    Twenty-fifth Sunday in Course 2025 Reading today’s excerpt from the letter of Saint Paul to Timothy, you might get the impression that the goal of any church congregation is to “lead a quiet an tranquil life in all devotion and dignity.” That sounds like an average middle-class suburban lifestyle, ...read more

     | 106 views

    This message looks at several comments and opinions and proves that the Parable of the Leaven is that of evil permeating the Church and the world. It brought in a corrupting influence. Leaven is never good! What is the woman, and three measures and the meal in this parable?

     | 115 views

    We look into the church at Thyatira in more detail to see how wicked it really was. That church parallels the Parable of the Leaven. It also represents the period of Church History with the development of the Roman Catholic Church that grew out of the Pergamum church.

    16. THE KINGDOM PARABLES – THE FOURTH – THE LEAVEN – Part 3 NOW WHERE IS THIS PARABLE LEADING US? We have seen in the first three parables of the kingdom that each parable associates itself with one of the churches of Asia Minor to whom John wrote, and also, that each parable associates with ...read more
