Podcasts about leaven

Question: I have kind of a loaded question concerning the kingdom parables of Matthew 13. I don't know if you are able to follow me on this, but the typical evangelical interpretation of the parable of the “leaven hidden in three measures of meal” starts with “leaven is usually bad in the Bible,” but in this case it is good. This to me is not an acceptable interpretation, but I'm really perplexed as to why so many evangelical leaders, who undoubtedly are aware, at least, of the other interpretation still persist in this.Response: The fuller context of this parable is found in Matthew 13:33-42, which includes the Lord's explanation of the “tares and the wheat.” It is instructive that in the parable of the tares and wheat, the Lord has planted “good seed.” We cannot deny that this is good. The enemy, however, has (using the same method) sowed his own seeds. The seed of the Lord permeating the world like leaven is good. Yet the tares (until the harvest) are virtually indistinguishable from the wheat. This is bad. Leaven is a natural development in the process of making good bread and the process is used by both the good and the bad. And it is true that most references to leaven are used as a negative: “A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump” (Gal 5:9, etc.). (continues)

Webelieve the events in this chapter take place on Thursday of Passion Week, theweek that Jesus Christ will be crucified. Thiswas the time of Passover. There were three major feasts on the Jewish calendar:Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles. All Jewish men were expected to go toJerusalem each year to celebrate these, as stated in Deuteronomy 16:16. ThePassover commemorated the time when the people of Israel left Egypt, when thelamb was killed, and the firstborn could live when the blood was sprinkled onthe doorpost and lintel. God had ordained that every year the people of Israelwere to commemorate and celebrate this time of deliverance out of Egypt. Duringthis time, the leaven was taken out of the houses, and the houses were cleansedfor Passover and the Passover meal. This meal will take place on Thursday withJesus and His disciples, and then He'll be crucified on Friday. TheFeast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called Passover, as noted inverse one of chapter 22. In verse two, the chief priests and scribes sought howthey might kill Him, for they feared the people. The very people who shouldhave accepted Christ and acknowledged Him, understanding the Scriptures andthat He was the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah,were full of hypocrisy. Remember that Jesus warned His disciples of the leavenof the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Their hypocrisy is revealed: theycleansed the leaven in their houses but not the leaven in their hearts. TheBible says in John 8:44 that the devil is a murderer from the beginning, didnot abide in the truth, and there is no truth in him. My friend, these peoplewere motivated by satanic powers to do what they did. Inverse three, “Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered amongthe twelve. So he went his way and conferred with the chief priests andcaptains about how he might betray Jesus to them. " The Pharisees, scribes, and chiefpriests were delighted when Judas was going to do it secretly, and they gavehim money. Judaswas motivated and energized by Satan (John 13:2, 27), for he never was a truebeliever in Jesus Christ. His sins had never been cleansed by the Lord (John13:10-11), and he had never believed and received eternal life (John 6:64-71). Yetnone of the other Apostles had the least suspicion that Judas was a traitor. Wehave every reason to believe that Judas had been given the same authority asthe other men and that he had preached the same message and performed the samemiracles. It shows how close a person can come to God's kingdom and still belost (Matt. 7:21-29). Whydid Judas betray the Lord Jesus? We know that he was a thief (John 12:4-6) andthat money played a part in his terrible deed. But thirty pieces of silver wasnot a large payment for such a great crime, and there had to be something moreinvolved. It is possible that Judas saw in Jesus the salvation of the Jewishnation and, therefore, he followed Him because he hoped to hold an office inthe kingdom. Keep in mind that the Twelve often argued over who was thegreatest in the kingdom, and Judas, the treasurer, surely participated in thoseimportant discussions. WhenJudas understood that Jesus would not establish the kingdom but rather wouldsurrender to the authorities, he turned against Him in bitter retaliation. The"leaven" in his life grew quietly and secretly until it produced"malice and wickedness" (1 Cor. 5:6-8). When you cooperate withSatan, you pay dearly, and Judas ended up destroying himself (Matt. 27:3-5).Satan is a liar and a murderer (John 8:44), and he reproduced himself perfectlyin Judas. Today,we need to beware of the leaven, the unconfessed secret sins and the proud anddeceitful motivations that lie hidden in our hearts. Only the blood of Jesuscan cleanse us as we confess our sins ask forgiveness (1 John 1:7-10).Godbless!

God is rarely in a hurry; but He's never late!

Growing In God Podcast   Web Description: In a message to faithful believers in Monterrey, Mexico, Gary shares with them the answer for Mexico. The answer is the leaven of the Kingdom of Heaven that was implanted within them. This leaven will grow until it influences all of Mexico. And it will not stop until it fills the whole earth.   Show Notes: At the Feast of Unleavened Bread, all leaven is removed from the house and unleavened bread is eaten for seven days. In 1 Corinthians Paul compares this process to what happens within us. During this feast we are to clean out the old leaven from ourselves. God wants us to remove all the influences of this world and this age until we are a new lump of dough that is unleavened. After the Feast of Unleavened Bread, leaven is again added to the bread. As Yeshua (Jesus) said, the Kingdom of Heaven is like leaven added to a lump of dough that grows until the entire lump is leavened. During the days of unleavened bread, we remove the leaven of this world that is not part of the Kingdom of God until we become a new lump of dough. But that is not where we stop. Then the Kingdom of Heaven itself is imparted into our hearts and minds. Like leaven, it grows until we are completely filled with His Kingdom. You could look at your circumstances and say, “I don't see it working.” You cannot necessarily see leaven working either, but slowly and surely it is growing and expanding in the dough. We have removed the old leaven of influences of this world, and now the new leaven of the Kingdom will continue to grow in us and influence everything around us. By this impartation and transformation within us, we become the bread that God can use to feed the world. Key Verses: 1 Corinthians 5:7–8. “Clean out the old leaven.” Romans 12:2. “Do not be conformed to this world.” Matthew 13:33. “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven.” Luke 13:20–21. “To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? It is like leaven.” Colossians 1:13. “He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son.” Philippians 3:20–21. “Our citizenship is in heaven.” Quotes: “We are implanted into the Kingdom, and now the Kingdom is being implanted into us.”  “The days of unleavened bread are finished, and we must become this new loaf of bread that is to feed the world.” “The answer for Mexico is this leaven of His Kingdom. And it is now dwelling in your hearts.”   Takeaways: 1. The Feast of Unleavened Bread has tremendous significance for believers. Paul wrote about this feast and related it to what happens to us rather than to bread. We become unleavened by cleaning out the old influences of the world from our lives. 2. At the end of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, leavened bread is eaten again. And so we do not remain unleavened. Christ imparts to us the leaven of His Kingdom. We have removed the old influences of the world, and we have growing within us the influence of the Kingdom of God. 3. This influence of the Kingdom that expands in our hearts does not stop with us. It will leaven our community, our nation, and ultimately the entire earth.

Go glutton free if it is the leaven of the pharisees

This morning we come to a parable that is only one sentence, only 28 words in our English translations. But although the parable is tiny, it packs an enormous punch. Which is exactly what the parable is about. It's about how an invisible thing can change the world.

By Walter Crane - The last few weeks we have taken the time to go through the process of examining our house for leaven and make sure we get rid of all the leavened products in our houses. These days are more than just not eating bread. Today, I want to look at two aspects of what the Days of Unleavened Bread are

The Riches Of Passover  Part 8:  Knowing God At Passover In The Cleaning Out Of Leaven  -  English and Spanish.  Hezekiah's zeal for purging leaven brought an unexpected blessing for the children.  This is a rebroadcast of a sermon from our archives which was last posted on June 27, 2020.  This year, Passover will begin on Saturday, April 12, 2025, at Sunset, when the weekly Shabbat ends.  Las Riquezas De La Pascua  Parte 8: Conociendo A Dios En La Pascua En La Limpieza De La Levadura - Inglés y Español. El celo de Ezequías por purgar la levadura trajo una bendición inesperada para los niños. Esta es una retransmisión de un sermón de nuestros archivos que fue publicado por última vez el 27 de junio de 2020.  Este año, la Pascua comenzará el sábado 12 de abril de 2025, al atardecer, cuando termina el Shabat semanal.

These parables are oftentaken out of context and misinterpreted, but they have much to teach us aboutGod's work, Satan's schemes, and our call to discernment.  First, Jesus asks, “Whatis the kingdom of God like? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a mantook and planted in his garden; and it grew and became a great tree, and thebirds of the air lodged in its branches” (Luke 13:18-19). On the surface,this sounds like success—a tiny seed sprouting into a towering tree. Butsomething's off. Mustard seeds grow into shrubs, not trees. This abnormalgrowth hints at distortion. The Jews knew their Scriptures: a mighty tree oftensymbolized a world power (Ezekiel 17:22-24; Daniel 4:20-22), and birds, as inthe parable of the sower (Luke 8:5, 12), represent evil—Satan and his forces(Matthew 13:19). Jesus isn't picturing triumph here, but a kingdom infiltratedby falsehood. Then He says, “Towhat shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like leaven, which a woman tookand hid in three measures of meal until it was all leavened” (Luke13:20-21). Leaven, in Scripture, consistently symbolizes evil (Exodus 12:14-20;Luke 12:1).  Think of the Pharisees'hypocrisy or Herod's corruption (Matthew 16:12; Mark 8:15). A woman hidingleaven in meal suggests stealthy contamination, not godly influence. Theseparables, echoing Matthew 13, don't show the kingdom conquering the world.Instead, they warn of Satan's two-pronged attack: abnormality (the oversizedtree) and adulteration (the hidden leaven). For context, Jesusspoke amid opposition. The synagogue ruler had just fumed over a Sabbathhealing, clinging to dead traditions. These parables counter that mindset:“Your rules won't stop God's kingdom, but Satan will distort it.” Historically,Israel rejected Christ, and during this church age, God's program facesfailure—not in its ultimate victory, but in its present form. The mustard seedreflects “Christendom”—the visible, professing church—growing unnaturallylarge, like after Constantine, when the “Organized Church” became a politicalpower, not a humble “little flock” (Luke 12:32). Like birds, the false teachersnest in its branches.  The leaven showscorruption creeping in: Pharisees with empty rituals, Sadducees denying thesupernatural, Herodians bowing to Rome. Today the church battles similardistortions, such as legalism, skepticism, and compromise. Jesus isn'tcontradicting Himself here. He'd already called leaven evil (Luke 12:1). Nor dothese parables promise global permeation; population growth outpaced by truefaith. The kingdom's seed often falls on barren soil, Satan sows counterfeits,and the net catches good and bad fish (Matthew 13). Yet, there's hope: God'strue kingdom endures, despite the mess. These stories challenge the crowd, andus, to look beyond appearances. The religious leaders saw only theirtraditions; Jesus saw Satan's schemes and God's bigger plan. What does this mean forus? We're in a mixed age where truth and falsehood grow together. We mustdiscern the real kingdom from its counterfeits, not confusing size or influencewith godliness. Satan attacks with abnormality (prideful bigness) andadulteration (subtle lies). Our job isn't to fix the whole tree or the meal butto be faithful, bearing true fruit in a crooked world, trusting God for thefinal harvest. Closing ChallengeThis week, examine yourfaith: Are you swayed by the “big tree” of flashy religion or the “leaven” ofwatered-down truth? Pick one area of your life, maybe a belief, habit, orinfluence, and test it against Scripture. Root out any distortion and commit toauthentic, humble faith. Be a seed of truth in a tangled world. PrayerLord Jesus, thank Youfor revealing the kingdom's reality of growth amid corruption. Open our eyes toSatan's schemes and keep us from false traditions or lies. Help us bear truefruit, faithful to You, not the world's show. Strengthen us to stand firm untilYour victory comes. Amen.
