The Mustard Seed and the Leaven: A Closer Look at Corruption in the Kingdom (Part 2)
In this episode of Reclaiming Truth, Mike Wilson and Larry Montgomery finish their study of Matthew 13 with its two most debated parables: the mustard seed and the leaven. Mike makes the case that these parables picture not the triumphant growth of the church but the creeping corruption that would enter the kingdom. The hosts also walk through Jesus' own explanation of the weeds and the glorious parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price. Examining Exodus 13, Leviticus 2, Mark 4, and Luke 8, the episode is offered humbly as an invitation to study, encouraging listeners to weigh both views against the Bible and church history and reach their own conclusion.
