About this episode

Pastor Dominic discusses spiritual blindness and the importance of true faith in Jesus, as highlighted in Matthew 16:1–12.

Pastor Dominic continues our sermon series in the Gospel of Matthew, preaching from Matthew 16:1–12. In this message, he examines the spiritual blindness of the Pharisees, Sadducees, and even the disciples, reminding us that seeing Jesus’ works is not the same as believing in Him. As Jesus warns His followers about the "yeast" of false teaching, we are challenged to guard our hearts against unbelief and distraction, remembering God’s faithfulness and growing in spiritual discernment. True faith is not built on demanding more signs, but on trusting the One who has already revealed Himself. Learn more about Maple Plain Community Church at https://mapleplaincc.org.
