Mark 8:11-21 – Leaven of the Pharisees

Apr 19, 2026    Michael Brown

What if the biggest danger to your faith isn’t obvious, but subtle?


In this challenging message from Gospel of Mark 8:11-21, Jesus warns His disciples to “watch out” for the hidden influence, the yeast, of the Pharisees and Herod. While they worry about physical bread, Jesus exposes two deeper spiritual traps: self-righteous religion and worldly reliance on power.


Through this passage, we’re reminded how easy it is to drift into comparison, pride, or misplaced trust. But Jesus calls us back to something simple yet profound: trust Him, as the One who provides, transforms, and holds everything together.


Watch now to uncover the hidden traps that can shape your faith, and how to stay grounded in Jesus, the true Bread of Life.
