The Bread of Christ and the Leaven of the Christless

Main Idea: Open-eyed faith enables right understanding that follows Christ instead of corrupting Christless influences.

1. Keep your eyes: Jesus warns His disciples to beware of corrupting influences.

2. Remember Christ's faithfulness: Jesus corrects the wrong understanding of "little faith" by reminding His followers what they already know about Him.

3. Keep your eyes on Christ: Right understanding recognizes and rejects corrupting teaching.

•Who influences you most - and how do you discern if they're leading you toward Christ or away from Him?

•How can we help each other remember Christ more consistently as a church?

•Do you tend to over-literalize, over spiritualize, or selectively hear God's word - and how do you test if your understanding is right?
