Beware of the Pharisee's Leaven

Summary

The sermon explores Mark 8:1-21, focusing on Jesus' compassion in feeding the 4,000 and His rebuke of the Pharisees and Herod's doctrine. It highlights the Pharisees' blindness and hardness of heart despite witnessing miracles, contrasting them with the disciples who gradually come to understanding. The message warns believers to beware the corrupting influence ('leaven') of false doctrine that exalts human traditions over God's Word. Ultimately, it calls for genuine repentance and reliance on Christ's provision and truth rather than self-glorification or skepticism.
