Mustard Seed, Yeast, Hidden Treasure, Merchant...strange metaphors of the Divine

This month we're wrestling with the parables of the kingdom in Matthew 13. Caro starts by unpacking the nature of parables before looking at the strangeness within the mustard seed, yeast, hidden treasure and pearl. The whole point of parables is to leave the listener thinking, provoked, confused or even annoyed. So we draw no conclusions but aim to let the strangeness sit with us and do its work.
