[Shincheonji Elementary Seminar Lesson 5 Review]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.


For those who want to explore these insights fully and experience the seminar’s detailed guidance on spiritual food, yeast, and transformation:

[Shincheonji Graduation Ceremony] Graduates who have found the direction and purpose of life with less anxiety and emptiness due to Bible study.

 Hello, I'm greenteawannabe. Recently, one of the corrected relatives has been hospitalized after a major accident. Don't give up on life history, and it seems that life is something that healthy people don't know what will happen later on. I think a person's values are shaped by his or her attitude toward death. I think this is especially true when I hear about the accidents and wealth of healthy people around me. Most people choose to play and eat today even if they die tomorrow because there is only one life anyway, and death is inevitable. Even in the 15th chapter of the classic, the Apostle Paul also said that if the Bible's promise is not fulfilled, none of the people are more pitiful than us, and it is better to eat and play. (1 Cor 15:19, 32) Then, what about the view of life of believers who learned the Bible? This year, the Zion Mission Center surveyed about 1,000 of the graduates who took the Bible for six months and participated in the 116th graduation c...

[Special Lecture on the Revelation of the World Invitation of Shincheonji church] As many as 521 world religious leaders will gather at the factual evidence debate.

Hello, I'm greenteawannabe. On October 30, about 500 free religious leaders from 61 countries gathered in our country to discuss the actual evidence. What is it that religious leaders of different denominations and sects, not their own scriptures, have come together for the Book of Revelation? The purpose of this meeting is to reduce conflict and promote dialogue among different religions, sects, and denominations. But why is it the Book of Revelation? The reason is that by learning and discussing the meaning and reality of the Revelation, the core of the Christian Bible, we can confirm how God's will is done to the global community and ultimately find the answer to peace by expanding the understanding between religions. That is why the number of religious leaders attending gradually increased as the program progressed, and on October 30th, it became a large-scale event attended by as many as 521 people. When I watched this program, I saw someone dressed as a monk or someone we...

[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...

The Figurative Treasure and the Rich — Understanding the True Wealth of the Word

Many readers encounter the Bible’s language of “treasure,” “gold,” and “riches” and wonder what these words truly signify. Are these passages referring to physical wealth, or is there a deeper message beneath the surface? Lesson 9: The Figurative Treasure and the Rich explores these questions with clarity, showing how biblical treasure symbolizes something far more precious than material possessions. Through a gentle and thoughtful approach, the seminar explains that spiritual treasure represents the unchanging Word of God—something valued not for its physical worth but for the life and truth it carries. The seminar begins with the fundamental distinction between physical treasure and spiritual treasure. While gold and jewels are rare and precious, Scripture often uses them as metaphors for truth. Verses such as Proverbs 25:11–12 and Psalms 12:6, describing God’s words as silver refined seven times, present a compelling picture: true spiritual wealth lies in the Word itself. Even p...
