SERMON INFO
ðŸ—¡ï¸ This expository sermon was delivered at Pilgrim Baptist Church in Cookeville, TN on Sunday, March 9, 2025, at 10:00 am. 🗡ï¸

The Parable of the Leaven: Understanding Biblical Distinctions | Bible Study Matthew 13:33

In this powerful Bible study on the Parable of the Leaven (Matthew 13:33), Pastor Fortunato explores the critical distinction between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God. Learn why the leaven in this parable isn't representing the gospel's expansion as commonly taught, but instead symbolizes corruption spreading throughout the Kingdom.

🔠KEY POINTS:

• The difference between Israel (physical/earthly) and the Church (spiritual)
• Why Biblical interpretation frameworks matter
• Three compelling reasons why leaven represents corruption, not the gospel
• Powerful demonstration showing how leaven works
• Biblical examples of leaven as a symbol of sin (Exodus 12, Luke 12, 1 Corinthians 5)
• How "a little leaven leavens the whole lump" applies to our spiritual lives

âš ï¸ WARNING: Common misinterpretations of this parable can lead to doctrinal errors! Discover what Jesus was really teaching about the Kingdom of Heaven during the church age.

This is part 1 of our study on the Parable of the Leaven. Next week: Who is the woman in the parable, and what is her significance?

📖 Bible Passages: Matthew 13:33, Exodus 12:15-36, Luke 12:1, Galatians 5:6-9, 1 Corinthians 5:6
