This week's message explores Jesus' parable of the leaven in Matthew 13:33, challenging the common interpretation that the church will transform the world for good. Instead, it presents leaven as a symbol of hidden corruption and false teaching that infiltrates truth. The lesson emphasizes that believers are called to be a pure offering to God—living with devotion, discernment, and intentionality—while remaining vigilant against deception in an increasingly difficult world. Our response to God's mercy should be lives of worship, service, and unwavering commitment to Scripture's authority.
