MenuThe story summary and questions were written in a way that makes it possible to use a New Testament reference in place of the Urantia reference. A selected chapter from a 1932 book, titled Treasure-House of the Living Religions, supports a spiritual theme that is found within the story. Children will use a one page handout that includes a coloring picture.

Many people came to hear Jesus teach by the sea. Jesus sat in a boat while the people listened on the shore. On that day, Jesus tried to help his followers understand more about the kingdom of heaven. So, he told them a parable about leaven, which is another name for yeast. He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven,” which a woman placed into some flour when making bread. Jesus knew the people understood how to make bread and the helpfulness of leaven.
What does leaven do for a loaf of bread? Can you explain why the kingdom of heaven is like leaven? We can think of the kingdom as the indwelling spirit of God. Remember that Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within you.”
and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you! (Christianity)
I go searching for the Friend; but the Friend is with me. (Sikhism)
