Matthew 16:1 - 16:12

Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this passage, Jesus' disciples were concerned about not having enough bread to eat, but Jesus reminded them to focus on important spiritual matters rather than material concerns. He used the metaphor of leaven to warn against the teachings of the Pharisees and Sadducees, emphasizing the importance of understanding spiritual truths rather than solely focusing on literal interpretations. The speaker suggests that while some Old Testament practices may have been perpetual ordinances, it is important to perceive spiritual matters in a spiritual light.
