Matthew 16:6 | Beware the Yeast
Manage episode 479575156 series 3369243
Our understanding of who Jesus is must come from spiritual revelation, not just logical reasoning or human teaching. This episode explores Jesus' warning about the "yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees" and how misinterpreted doctrine can slowly overtake our spiritual lives.
• The yeast Jesus warns against is misrepresentation of who He is and what He came to do
• Peter's revelation about Jesus came directly from God, not from human understanding
• Like yeast, false doctrine only needs a small foothold before spreading throughout your beliefs
• The Pharisees were blinded by tradition while the Sadducees rejected the spiritual realm
• Bad theology either produces unhealthy influence (alcohol) or spiritual suffocation (carbon dioxide)
• Three ways to combat deceptive teaching: read your Word daily, find community, and build relationship with Christ
• We must monitor what spiritual information we're consuming and check everything against Scripture
Monitor what information you're taking in daily. The next time you encounter a teaching that raises red flags in your spirit, check it against the Word of God. If it aligns with Scripture, accept it. If not, reject it.
