The Parable of the Mustard Seed and Yeast

We can all agree, at least for those of us who have seen one, that a mustard seed is a very small seed, and that a tiny amount of yeast can go a long way! Now what does Jesus have to say about it in this parable has been controversial among some Biblical scholars. Pastor Bruce does not claim to be a "scholar", but he shares his thoughts as evidenced by the current health, more-so illness, of the church and the influence that the "world view" has and is having upon the people of God resulting in a spiraling decline of holiness within the body of believers.
