Leviticus 2 presents the grain offering as a voluntary act of worship that expresses gratitude, consecration, and covenant faithfulness to God. The offering consisted primarily of fine flour, oil, and frankincense. A memorial portion was burned on the altar as a sweet aroma to the Lord, while the remainder was given to the priests for their sustenance and ministry.The chapter outlines several acceptable forms of preparation, uncooked flour, oven-baked cakes, pan-cooked bread, and grain cooked in a covered pan, demonstrating that God welcomes offerings from people in diverse circumstances and abilities. What mattered most was not the form of the offering but the worshiper's obedience and sincerity of heart.Special attention is given to what must and must not be included in the offering. Leaven and honey were prohibited because they symbolized corruption, compromise, and pagan influence, teaching God's people to keep their worship pure and undefiled. Salt, however, was required in every offering as a symbol of preservation, purity, and the enduring covenant relationship between God and His people.The grain offering also highlights the doctrine of vocation. Because the offering came through ordinary human labor, it sanctified daily work as an act of worship when done unto the Lord. The offering reminds believers that worship is not confined to dramatic spiritual moments but also includes faithful obedience in everyday life.Theologically, the grain offering warns against several dangers: works-righteousness, formalism, and syncretism. The offering did not earn God's favor but responded to grace already given. God desired heartfelt devotion rather than empty ritual and rejected attempts to mix worldly practices with holy worship.In its fullness, the grain offering foreshadows Jesus Christ, the sinless, perfect offering, and calls believers to offer their lives, work, and worship to God with purity, gratitude, and covenant faithfulness.

A little leaven, 1 Corinthians 5:6-13.

In Matthew 13:31–33, Jesus compares the kingdom of God to a mustard seed and leaven, showing that God often works through ordinary people and things, as well as steady faithfulness. In this sermon, Pastor Neil Anderson encourages us to press into our Kingdom work with patience and consistency, trusting that God is building His kingdom in quiet and powerful ways.

In this sermon we look at Matthew 16 and talk about the damage that false teaching can do to our relationship with Jesus.For more teaching, visit citizenscharlotte.com/teaching

In this sermon from Galatians 5:1–15, Pastor Ben Hays looks at the profound impact of small influences on our spiritual journeys. Walking through the text at West U Baptist, Pastor Ben breaks down the dangerous shift from a grace-filled life back into works-based legalism. Using the powerful biblical analogy of yeast—and a fun debate about the best pre-dinner restaurant bread—this message delivers a timeless principle: a small presence can make a big difference. Whether it is negative influences like gossip and legalism or positive attributes like joy and encouragement, the "leaven" we introduce completely transforms the atmosphere of our homes, workplaces, and church communities. Are you living in the true freedom of the gospel? Watch to discover how Jesus sets us free from the burden of performance so that we can freely love and serve one another.

When we left off, Jesus and his disciples were in Gentile territory and we saw the grace of God in the Kingdom of Heaven through the Messiah extend even to the ancient enemies of Israel. As chapter 16 begins, Jesus headed back into the region of Galilee where he was immediately confronted by the religious leaders and teachers, who were still demanding signs of God's power. It is just more evidence of the Upside-Down Kingdom, that was missed by those who ought to have seen it most clearly, but seen and embraced by the least likely. We will also see the first time that Jesus' own disciples identify Him as the Messiah, and a controversial passage about the nature of the church.------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media ⁠Website⁠ | ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Threads⁠ | ⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Vimeo⁠------------------------------------------- Download our App⁠Apple App Store⁠ | ⁠Google Play Store⁠

Exodus 12 Part 1: Leave the Leaven

The church at Corinth was boasting and their heads were swelling with pride as we say but not over a good thing! There was a man having a sexual relationship with his stepmom in the church and the church was boasting about this sin instead of putting an end to it. Paul says, “What are yall doing? I'm not even there and I have already judged the guy. Get him out of your fellowship, turn him over to Satan, and don't even have a meal with him.” We can learn a great lesson from the church at Corinth...Sin is serious and it should not be tolerated.

Weekly Sermon from Trinity Church Denver

We're not just a church. We're a Family.Our Vision is clear, simple, and unique. Our vision is Jesus in you. Our vision is for the people of God to have a faith that holds them. The kind of faith that vanquishes doubt, verifies identity, and voraciously contends for inner peace. A faith that removes the past, clarifies the present, and breathes life into the future. Our vision is the Kingdom of God built within the people of this obscure, yet mighty generation. A kingdom so great that its purpose destroys the common lack of self worth. A kingdom that sharpens the eyes, tenses the muscles, and readies itself for the battle against darkness. A Kingdom that brings purpose and healing to those who have failed more than succeeded, who are sinners more than saints, and who have known more pain than pleasure. Our vision is to challenge the weak and unproductive church of our day. To step beyond those who are religiously immature and search out those who for their love for Christ cannot be offended. Our hope is to raise warriors instead of those who think God only exists to keep bad things from happening. To raise those who know that following Christ means suffering loss yet gaining all things. Our vision is clear, simple, and unique…. It is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

By Carl Koester - During the Days of Unleavened Bread, there is much discussion of leaven, and its effects on the lump. What is the leaven? What is the lump? How do these two things correspond to bring the effects the Apostle Paul warns against?

By Dan Preston - The Bible associates leaven with sin and tells us we must remove it from our lives before it spreads and consumes us. But did you know leaven also represents righteousness and the coming Kingdom of God?

By Cliff Wickman - Jesus only spoke about the leaven of one person, and it wasn't a religious leader. What does the "leaven of Herod" teach us about the leaven we could have in our lives?

By Gary Beam - Having just observed the Days of Unleavened Bread, we learn the lesson of putting the leaven out and letting the unleavened portion of God's nature replace our own nature. But are we looking in the right places trying to find the leaven that puffs us up?

How do we truly discern divine truth from generations of ingrained tradition? Unearth the tension between man-made doctrines and Yahweh's authentic design, showing how the leaven of Egypt has obscured pure understanding. Originally recorded during Feast of Unleavened Bread 2025. 

By Sanford Beattie - We think of leaven as something that causes bread to puff up, because that's what our English word conveys. But the Hebrew and Greek words carry a different meaning, and one that fits better with the symbolism conveyed by Jesus and Paul.

In this message, we will look at Jesus' sober warning about the Imitation of His Kingdom, as well as His celebratory encouragement about the Expansion & Permeation of His Kingdom, in and through the church.   Scripture: Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43, 31-33

Now last week… we spent a considerable amount of time… talking about this parable. And if you will remember…last week we placed our focus… on the "Bread that was baked." And we began talking about… what that bread represents. Do ya'll remember that?! We said that this blessed bread…was supposed to be something made to satisfy the heart…the mind of God! And when Jesus is talking to these Jews about "three measures of flour"…immediately…they would go to Abraham… when he entertained guests from heaven! They would go back to the grain offering… in the Old Testament… and they would've understood what the bread represented! And what did we say it represented? We said… "the bread"… represents the church! It represents fellowship with God! It represents… communion with God! Now…this morning…we're gonna move our focus a little bit. There is "the bread that's baked" But there's also… "the leaven that's latent". There's leaven… hidden in the bread! How did it get there? Well…this sneaky housewife comes into the kitchen… and the bible says… that she hides leaven in the three measures of meal!

By Daniel Apartian - This sermon explores the theme of Godly love, focusing on how Jesus Christ exemplified Agape love during the last days of His earthly life. Mr. Apartian provides a deep spiritual reflection appropriate for Passover preparation, outlining five key lessons about love learned from Jesus' final moments
