This message uses analogies to compare the relationsip between the physical (yeast) and the spiritual (pride) aspects in our lives. The story of Uzziah in the Old Testament (2Chr 26) is as an example of how pride may lead to a downfall. In the New Testament (Matt 16), Christ warns us to beware of the leaven (pride) of the Pharisees and Sadducees and their way.
