Spiritual Nourishment and Transformation: Insights from “The Figurative Food and Yeast”

October 08, 2025

In our daily lives, we often think about food simply as a source of physical energy. But what about spiritual nourishment? A recent Shincheonji online seminar, titled “The Figurative Food and Yeast,” explores this question in depth, revealing how the Word of God can sustain the spirit just as physical food sustains the body. The seminar offers a fresh perspective on how divine teachings can transform hearts and guide believers toward life.


One of the seminar’s key points was the distinction between God’s food and Satan’s food. As emphasized, spiritual food is not merely symbolic; it carries life or death depending on its source. Matthew 24:45–47 highlights the importance of timing in receiving spiritual nourishment:


> “The faithful and wise servant gives food at the proper time.”

Additionally, John 6 describes Jesus as the bread of life, showing that his words provide essential sustenance for the spirit. The seminar also references Amos 8:11 and Revelation passages to illustrate the consequences of a lack of proper spiritual guidance, stressing the need for discernment when choosing which teachings to follow.


Another compelling illustration was the figurative yeast, which represents teachings that cause spiritual transformation. Matthew 13:33 notes that the kingdom of heaven is like yeast, subtly changing the heart of the person who receives it. The seminar contrasts God’s yeast, which transforms believers into the likeness of God, with Satan’s yeast, which corrupts and misleads. This distinction emphasizes the role of true shepherds and proper teachings in guiding believers. Ephesians 4:21–24 reinforces this transformative aspect:


> “God’s yeast transforms believers into new self in God’s likeness.”


The seminar weaves these metaphors together to show that spiritual nourishment and discernment are interconnected. It highlights the importance of receiving God’s revealed word at the proper time and recognizing the sources that either uplift or mislead. This approach encourages viewers to reflect on their own spiritual growth and the teachings they embrace.

[Shincheonji's Peter tribes] The church will discover the talents of teenagers? The 2nd Peter Heavenly Culture Academy ended successfully!

Hello, I'm greenteawannabe. Do you remember the fact that the Peter Heavenly Culture Academy was held last July? On the 24th, the 2nd Heavenly Culture Academy was successfully completed. I spent time playing games and playing entertainment during my school vacation, but what time did the students participate in this Heavenly Culture Academy spend during that time? If I were to say this Heavenly Culture Academy in one sentence, it can be said that it is a time to discover one's own possibilities. The second phase of the Heavenly Culture Academy consisted of 9 classes for children and 22 classes for students, and about 400 students had a satisfactory month. I thought that it was a great merit that I could learn coding in my adolescence, which I could learn only when I was a college student. I'm looking forward to what various and rich programs Peter Heavenly Culture Academy will prepare for the third term of next year, which has given teenagers a varie...

Cheongju Word Seminar: Over 700 Pastors Gather to Learn the Truth of Revelation

On November 11, the “Testimony on the Fulfillment of Revelation and Prophecy: Shincheonji Word Seminar” was held at Shincheonji Cheongju Church in Chungbuk, South Korea, creating a significant impact. Over 700 pastors from established denominations attended the event, seeking deeper understanding of the Bible, particularly Revelation.  Why Are Established Denomination Pastors Attending? Pastors who attended the seminar shared unanimous praise for the teachings. One pastor, Mr. Kim, remarked, “The teachings here are unlike anything I’ve ever encountered in my denomination. It made me reflect on my shortcomings as a pastor and realize the need to relearn the Word.” This sentiment highlights how Shincheonji’s teachings provide not just satisfaction but also profound spiritual resonance. Their systematic approach to the Bible offers a comprehensive understanding of not only Revelation but also the entirety of Scripture, giving attendees a perspective they could not find elsewhere.

[Shincheonji Elementary Seminar Lesson 3 Review] Why Are the Secrets of Heaven Hidden in Parables?

Following the previous session, today I’m reviewing Lesson 3 of the Shincheonji Elementary Seminar, titled “The True Meaning of the Parables of the Secrets of Heaven.” Through this lecture, I gained deep insight into why the Bible is difficult to understand, and why Jesus chose to speak in parables. In Mark chapter 4, Jesus said, “The secret of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but to those on the outside everything is said in parables.” The Word is clear, but its meaning is hidden in figurative language, making it inaccessible to just anyone. What left the biggest impression on me was the fact that only when prophecy is fulfilled can the reality of the parable appear. As Jesus promised, at the time of His second coming, He would no longer speak in parables but explain plainly—and realizing that this time is now truly stirred my heart. The instructor explained how various parables in the Bible were actually fulfilled. For example, a stone symbolizes Jesus and the two wives r...

[Shincheonji Sports Activities] Shincheonji Baseball Team Wins the Korea Sports Council President's Cup National Baseball Tournament Division 2 League!

 Hello, this is greenteawannabe. The Shincheonji baseball team won the Korea Sports Council President's Cup National Baseball Tournament Division 2 League on September 28th. In a previous post, I shared news that the Shincheonji baseball team had emerged as a rising powerhouse by placing third in the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Cup tournament. It's truly remarkable to receive news of another tournament victory just a few months after that post! Since I'm not deeply familiar with baseball news, I looked into the Korea Sports Council President's Cup a bit. The Korea Sports Council President's Cup is one of the tournaments where amateur baseball teams from across the country gather to compete. Among these, this tournament is said to be one of the most representative amateur sports events. True to its reputation, this tournament saw fierce competition with 30 amateur baseball teams from nationwide participating. What makes this tournament especially encourag...
