"YEAST WILL LEAVEN YOUR LUMP" - WHOEVER LOVES LIES WIL BE DESTROYED BY THEM- THE BEAUTIFUL MEN PT 14 by The Master's Voice Prophecy Blog

Welcome to Day 2949 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2949– “Marching Orders for True Disciples” – Luke 11:37-54 Putnam Church Message – 09/06/2026 The Good News According to Luke: “Marching Orders For True Disciples”   Last week, our message was “Clean From The Inside Out,” and we learned that we must let Christ make us clean...from the inside out. Today, we continue with our thirty-seventh message from Luke's narrative of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Today's message is: “Marching Orders For True Disciples.” Our core passage today is Luke 12:1-12, starting on page 1616 of your pew Bibles. Warnings and Encouragements 12 Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying: “Be[a] on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. 3 What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs. 4 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. 8 “I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God. 9 But whoever disowns me before others will be disowned before the angels of God. 10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. 11 “When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say, 12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.” Opening Prayer Father, as we open Your Word today, give us ears to hear the marching orders of our King. Lord Jesus, protect us from hypocrisy, fear, denial, and anxious self-reliance. Give us courage to live openly before You, to fear God more than people, to confess Your name without shame, and to trust the Holy Spirit when we do not know what to say. Prepare us not merely to follow You when the crowds are cheering, but to remain faithful when the road becomes difficult. Holy Spirit, strengthen our hearts and shape us into true disciples. In Jesus' name, amen. Introduction: Marching Orders Before the Battle As Jesus looked ahead, the cross was looming larger on the horizon. Back in Luke 9, Jesus had set His face toward Jerusalem. From that point forward, every road, every conversation, every miracle, every confrontation was taking Him closer to betrayal, trial, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. And when Jesus looked over His shoulder, what did He see? / Thousands of people. / Luke describes a crowd numbering literally tens of thousands—so large and disorderly that people were stepping on one another. From the outside, it probably looked like tremendous success. / If we had been Jesus' public-relations advisers, we might have said: “Jesus, this is working!” “The crowds are growing.” “The movement is expanding.” “The religious establishment is nervous.” “You have momentum.” But Jesus knew something the crowd did not know. They imagined triumph in Jerusalem. / Jesus knew the cross awaited Him there. They imagined Rome being defeated. / Jesus knew He would be nailed to a Roman cross. They imagined religious leaders finally recognizing Him. / Jesus knew those leaders were already plotting against Him. They imagined glory without suffering. / Jesus knew glory would come through And somewhere within that enormous crowd were genuine disciples—men and women who would soon need courage greater than they could imagine. So Jesus turns to them first. / It is almost like a commanding officer gathering the troops before battle. / “Listen carefully.” / “This is what you need to remember.” / “These are your marching orders.” And the setting makes these instructions especially important. Last week, in “Clean From The Inside Out,” Jesus confronted the Pharisees and religious lawyers. He exposed outward religion without inward transformation. He condemned leaders who looked clean but carried pride, greed, hypocrisy, and spiritual corruption within. Now Jesus turns to His disciples and essentially says: “Do not become like them.” The danger is not merely that Pharisees exist. / The danger is that pharisaism can spread. / Like yeast. / Quietly. / Gradually. / Almost invisibly. So Jesus gives His followers four commands: Beware of hypocrisy. Fear God rather than people. Confess Christ openly. Trust the Holy Spirit when opposition comes. Those marching orders are just as necessary today. So let's explore these four commands as disciples of Christ as listed in your bulletin insert on the side that says: Marching Orders for True Disciples. Command 1: Guard Your Heart Against the Leaven of Hypocrisy (Vs 1-3) Jesus begins: “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees—their hypocrisy.” That is a fascinating image. / Jesus does not say the Pharisees themselves are the greatest danger. / He says their hypocrisy is dangerous because hypocrisy spreads like yeast through dough. Ancient Context: Leaven People in Jesus' day knew this image immediately. / They baked bread regularly. / A baker might save a small piece of fermented dough from yesterday's batch and knead it into fresh dough. (Like sourdough starter) It was tiny compared with the whole lump. / But give it time. / Eventually, it permeated everything. That is Jesus' warning. / Hypocrisy usually does not take over a life overnight. / It begins small. / One concealed compromise. / One little performance. / One difference between what we say publicly and what we practice privately. / One moment where appearance becomes more important than truth. / Then another. / And another. / Eventually, we become comfortable playing a role. What Is Hypocrisy? The Greek word came from the world of theater. / An actor would wear a mask and portray someone he was not. / Onstage, that was expected. But Jesus says the Christian life must never become a stage performance. Hypocrisy says: “I want people to believe something about me that is not actually true.” It is possible to lie without saying a word. / We can lie with behavior. / We can appear humble while craving applause. / Appear generous while resenting every gift. / Appear forgiving while privately...

What does Jesus mean when He compares the Kingdom of Heaven to a mustard seed and leaven? In Matthew 13, Jesus reveals mysteries about the Kingdom that had been hidden since the foundation of the world. These parables point to the reality that good and evil will continue to grow alongside one another until the end. In this message, Dustin Aguilar explores the biblical imagery of the mustard seed, the tree and its birds, and the leaven that spreads throughout the dough. Rather than treating these parables as simple motivational messages, we are challenged to recognize their warning: evil and corruption can spread, even among those who appear to be part of God's Kingdom. The message calls us to remain faithful, guard against the "leaven" of malice, hypocrisy, fear, compromise, and sin, and continually walk by the Spirit.

“Adding to Christ is changing allegiance.” WHERE WE FIND OURSELVES We were running well. Then a break in the road stops us, and a persuasive voice says Christ is good, but you also need this: the moral resume, the voting record, the practices. It never sounds like opposition; it sounds like wisdom. But a little leaven leavens the whole lump, and one small addition grows until a son lives like a slave. WHAT CHRIST HAS DONE From the cross Jesus said it is finished, and He meant it. He ran the race without stumbling, endured the mocking, the whipping, and the piercing for the joy set before Him: us, His inheritance. Inside of death He became the leaven that overwhelmed death, and it could not hold Him. VISION FOR THE CHRISTIAN LIFE For the church to become a people yoked to Christ alone, whom no pressure can pull from their allegiance: quick to spot any addition to Christ as a threat to their freedom, running confident He will finish what He started, until the Treasure Coast sees a people running free toward their inheritance.

Matthew 13:31-33 ESV The Parable of the Mustard Seed and the Leaven 31 He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. 32 It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.” 33 He told them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.” For more information about Redeemer Church Lubbock visit our website at redeemerlubbock.org.

The Pharisees and Sadducees continue to refuse to believe in Jesus, and they insincerely ask Him for a sign. Jesus rebukes them for knowing how to recognize the coming weather but for failing to recognize the coming of the Christ. Therefore, Jesus refuses them a sign other than the one He has already offered, the sign of Jonah. The disciples miss what Jesus means when He speaks of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees, assuming that He is talking about food. Jesus rebukes them and reminds them of His two feeding miracles, teaching that they should look first for the kingdom of God, which is given through faith to both Jews and Gentiles.  Rev.

We don't always see what God is doing. In Matthew 13:31–33, Jesus uses two ordinary pictures, a mustard seed and leaven, to teach us about the Kingdom of God. The kingdom may begin small. Its growth may happen slowly and invisibly. But what God starts, He will grow, and His kingdom will ultimately reach every corner of His creation.

The Leaven of the PhariseesJuly 26, 2026 • Luke 11:37–54, Luke 12:1–7This Sunday, Greg teaches from Luke 11:37–12:7. Jesus confronts the Pharisees and religious experts for focusing on outward appearances while neglecting the condition of their hearts. He warns that religious rules and visible acts of obedience are meaningless when they replace justice, love for God, humility, and genuine holiness. Jesus identifies hypocrisy—not obedience itself—as the central danger, because pretending to be righteous cannot hide the truth from God, who sees and will reveal everything. Unlike the religious leaders, who placed impossible burdens on people without helping them, Jesus accomplishes what we cannot do and graciously gives us His righteousness. Therefore, believers are invited to stop hiding, confess their sin, and come honestly to Jesus, trusting that they are fully known, deeply valued, and transformed by His grace.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

2026-07-12 Beware of Leavenby Pastor Chris Berg Scripture Reference: Mark 8:1-218 During those days another large crowd gathered. Since they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said, 2 “I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. 3 If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, because some of them have come a long distance.”4 His disciples answered, “But where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?”5 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked.“Seven,” they replied.6 He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. When he had taken the seven loaves and given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people, and they did so. 7 They had a few small fish as well; he gave thanks for them also and told the disciples to distribute them. 8 The people ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 9 About four thousand were present. After he had sent them away, 10 he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.11 The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven. 12 He sighed deeply and said, “Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to it.” 13 Then he left them, got back into the boat and crossed to the other side.The Yeast of the Pharisees and Herod14 The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat. 15 “Be careful,” Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod.”16 They discussed this with one another and said, “It is because we have no bread.”17 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened? 18 Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don't you remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?”“Twelve,” they replied.20 “And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?”They answered, “Seven.”21 He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”Mandeville Bible Church   "Where God's Word is Our Foundation"https://www.mandevillebiblechurch.org/Come and see that God's Word is alive and at work right here in Mandeville.. and throughout the world!All are welcome. 217 Carroll Street, Mandeville, LA 70448Church Office: (985) 626-3114Sunday Service: 9:30AMAdult Sunday School: 10:45-11:30AMNursery and Children's church available.

What could teaching and yeast have to do with one another? The disciples are as confused by that as you might be. Jesus wants his disciples to see that wrong teaching is more than wrong information, but a wrong way …

From Pastor David Peck | From the sermon series Parables: Revealing and Concealing the Kingdom.In this series on the parables Jesus taught, we will explore the mysteries of the kingdom the parables reveal to those who have ears to hear. We will seek to apply those lessons to our lives in God's kingdom here and now, while also increasing our longing for His return. 

Jesus has given us an all-important, God-exalting, compassion-sharing mission. If we are to succeed in our task, we must avoid dangerous teaching, subtle teachings that would derail us. Join us as we examine the lethal leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 

Mixture and Leaven!

In this text we will see how Jesus teaches us to understand the threat of the Pharisees and Saduccees.   Scripture: Matthew 16:1-12
