Matthew 16:5-12 The Leaven of the and Pharisees and Sadducees (Oct 1, 2023 AM, Rev. Michael Grasso)

In Matthew 16:5-12 Christ warns the disciples of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.  It is strange that the Pharisees and Sadducees have joined together in their opposition to Christ given the number of things they themselves disagreed on.  We see that though the ungodly are often opposed to each other, they will always be more opposed to the Church.  Furthermore, we learn that false teachings which appear to be opposites very often have much in common.
