  • The Call of Money

    The Call of Money
    Mar 22 2026
    As Balak, king of Moab, becomes terrified of Israel, he sends messengers to hire Balaam to curse God’s people. Balaam at first refuses because God tells him not to go and not to curse Israel. But when a more distinguished delegation arrives with the promise of greater honor and greater payment, Balaam asks again and reveals the deeper problem: a heart tempted by profit more than obedience. This sermon explores how the call of money can influence people to do what they should never do, and how Balaam becomes a warning throughout Scripture. Connecting Jude 11, 1 Timothy 6:10, and Matthew 16:26, this message shows that the love of money is not harmless. Money can pull a person away from faith, truth, and obedience to God. The real issue is not earning a living but loving money so much that it competes with God for first place in the heart. This is a warning against compromise, greed, and trying to reopen doors God has already closed. It is also a call to value your soul more than wealth, power, prestige, or temporary gain. What will a person give in exchange for his soul? Balaam’s story reminds us that no amount of money is worth losing eternity. Sermon Notes Numbers 22:1 – 4 Balak, king of Moab became afraid of the sons of Israel Numbers 22:5 & 6 Balak sends messengers to Balaam to curse the sons of Israel Numbers 22:7 Elders of Moab and Midian go to Balaam with money to pay him to curse the sons of Israel Numbers 22:8 Balaam told them to spend the night so that he could find out what God wanted him to do Numbers 22:9 – 12 God and Balaam have a conversation about the men and God tells him not to go and not to curse the sons of Isarael Numbers 22:13 & 14 Ballam tells them he cannot go Numbers 22:15 – 17 Balak sends a bigger and more distinguished group and increases the price Numbers 22:19 & 20 Ballam asks God again about going Jude 11 The error of Balaam - money 1 Timothy 6:10 Love of money is the root of all sorts of evil Matthew 16:26 The value of the soul

    Lifted Up
    Mar 15 2026
    The life-and-death crisis Israel faced in the wilderness. After speaking against God and Moses, the people were bitten by fiery serpents and many died. When they finally confessed their sin, Moses interceded for them, and God gave an unexpected remedy. Sermon Notes Numbers 21:4 & 5 Because the people had to travel around Edom, they spoke against Moses Numbers 21:6 God sends fiery serpents to bit and kills the people Numbers 21:7 The people acknowledge their sin and ask Moses to intercede for them Numbers 21:8 God tells Moses to make a serpent and put it on a standard and if those who were bitten look, they will not die Numbers 21:9 Moses did so and if they looked, they did not die John 3:9 – 18 Jesus will be lifted up and all who believe will have eternal life

  • The Rock

    The Rock
    Mar 8 2026
    God’s people face another crisis: no water, renewed complaints, and rising pressure on Moses. After Miriam dies, the congregation contends with Moses and Aaron, blaming them and accusing them of bringing the people into a “wretched place.” Instead of solving anything, their complaining produces nothing. Moses and Aaron do what God’s people should have done from the beginning: they fall before the Lord and seek His instruction. Sermon Notes Numbers 20:1 Miriam dies and is buried Numbers 20:2 – 5 No water and the people complain Numbers 20:6 Moses seeks God’s instructions Numbers 20:7 – 10 Moses told to take Aaron’s rod and the people, then he is to speak to the rock Numbers 20:11 Moses strikes the rock twice Numbers 20:12 & 13 Moses told because he did not treat the Lord as holy, Moses will not be able to enter the promise land Exodus 17:5 & 6 Moses struck the rock once the first time 1 Corinthians 10:4 That rock was Jesus Matthew 16:13 – 18 Upon this rock 1 Peter 2:4 – 10 Jesus is the cornerstone and we are living stones being built together
