ICF MD Sunday Service September 06, 2026 Bro. Jacob : The Three Leavens

Mark 8:15, Matthew 16:5 Leavens - Small spiritual compromises which invisibly spread and corrupt a person's entire life Leaven of Herod (Worldliness): A "divided appetite" where one enjoys spiritual things (the Word) but remains governed by worldly passions and lusts. Leaven of Sadducees (Unbelief): Human reasoning is placed above divine revelation, leading to a rejection of the supernatural and the power of God. Leaven of Pharisees (Hypocrisy): Most dangerous leaven because it involves managing a righteous public image while remaining spiritually "dead" or unclean internally
