Balaam

In this sermon on the story of Balaam from the book of Numbers, we're reminded of God's mysterious ways of working through unexpected people. The narrative challenges us to reflect on how we perceive God's blessings and protection in our lives. Are we, like the Israelites, sometimes blind to God's work behind the scenes? This message encourages us to trust in God's unwavering love and protection, even when we can't see it. The prophecy of Jesus as the star and scepter reminds us of His supreme authority and guidance in our lives. We're called to examine our hearts: have we allowed God to rule completely, or are there areas we've cordoned off from His influence? This story serves as a powerful reminder that our greatest threat often comes not from external forces, but from internal compromise and disobedience.
