In this study, Scott Mitchell examines one of Jesus' shortest yet most debated parables—the woman who hid leaven in three measures of meal. Is leaven a symbol of the gospel spreading throughout the world, or is Christ warning of something far more troubling?

By tracing the biblical meaning of leaven from Genesis through the Gospels and Paul's epistles, this message explores how false doctrine, hypocrisy, unbelief, and spiritual deception have worked their way into the visible church. Along the way, Scott examines the leaven of the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and Herod, and why Jesus repeatedly warned His followers to beware.

Discover how this often-overlooked parable fits within the larger prophetic picture of Matthew 13, what it reveals about the condition of the church in the last days, and why believers must remain grounded in the truth of God's Word as deception increases.
