Matthew 16:6 NLT: “Watch out!” Jesus warned the disciples. “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Hebrew people knew about bread and yeast. When preparing to depart Egypt, they were told to make bread without yeast, unleavened bread. Yeast would have made the bread rise, but that could take quite a while, and they might have to leave tout suite! So no yeast in the bread that day!
What the disciples didn’t understand at first, is that this was an analogy. Just as it only takes a little yeast to make a big batch of bread rise, a little incorrect theological leadership could take a large number of believers on a false journey.
That’s why at my church, we teach from the Bible. We’re more concerned with what Jesus said and did than with ritual and tradition. With the inspired words of God as our guide, we bring forth truth and hope several times each week.
