As we turn the page to chapter 16 of Matthew, we begin a new section of study concerning our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as presented by Matthew.

Dr. Mitchell gives us a short overview of what we have covered in previous chapters before turning to Matthew 16.

This chapter opens with the Pharisees and Sadducees putting Jesus to the test again. They ask for a sign from heaven. Dr. Mitchell says they asked for a sign, instead Jesus gave them a warning.

Dr.Mitchell states that Christians need to know the Word of God so as to understand the current time in God's program for His people.

Jesus then warns the disciples about the leaven of these religious leaders. Dr. Mitchell gives what the teaching of these rulers was. He brings out how much leaven is evident to this day.

Let's join Dr. Mitchell, Matthew 16:1
