A slice of moldy bread raises an odd question: do you toss the whole loaf, or just cut around the spot? Jesus asks his disciples to beware a different kind of contamination — the leaven of two rival religious factions who set aside everything that divided them the moment their authority was threatened. It's a study about the kind of corruption that never announces itself, and why "eat around it" is never actually a safe strategy. Join us this week as Pastor Brian focuses on Matthew 16:1-12

In Mark 7:24–30, a desperate Gentile mother approaches Jesus with humble yet persistent faith, trusting that even a crumb of His mercy is enough to deliver her daughter. This study explores Jesus’ challenging words to her, revealing that God’s saving grace—offered first to Israel—was always intended to reach every nation.

In Matthew 14:22–33, Jesus walks upon the stormy sea and reveals Himself as the sovereign Son of God, calling His disciples to trust His word above their circumstances. This study shifts the focus from Peter’s brief walk on the water to Christ’s divine identity, reminding us that seeing Jesus clearly should ultimately lead us to worship.
