The pervasive power of the Gospel...

 And again he said, “To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? It is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.”(Luke 13:20-21 ESV)
Christianity IS so much more than a one-day-a-week religion.  Our faith is to be "mixed in" to every part of our lives.  Like the mustard seed, yeast is very small.  Though yeast (or leaven) is often used as a negative example, here it is not.  Though small, if you mix it in with flour and water, before you know it, you have dough all over the counter.  If the mustard seed is not planted, or the yeast is not mixed in to life, it does nothing.  But when we enter the Kingdom, when we trust Christ and His word, when we plant the seed of God's word and mix the yeast into our lives, great things begin to happen.
