The sermon focused on Jesus’ warning to his disciples about the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. The speaker used baking as an analogy to clarify the concept of leaven: yeast makes dough rise, while unleavened bread does not. This is to help understand that not is a metaphor for the teachings of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

The Pharisees and Sadducees are described as those who often confronted Jesus, differing culturally, politically, and religiously, yet united in their hatred of him. Jesus commanded his disciples to “watch” (perceive) and “beware” (pay attention/heed) of these teachings.

The teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees is characterized as deceptive and dangerous; they were focused on rules and tradition. The warning is a call to guard against this influence. Ultimately, the goal is to be grounded in right ways and understand the dangers of false teachings.
