The Error Of Balaam – Making Profit From The Work Of The Lord – Part 2 - Jude 1:10-11(B) Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 13, 2022

Was Balaam a great prophet? Wonderful things came from the mouth of Balaam when he blessed Israel and did not curse them. Jude makes reference to him with "the error of Balaam" but how do we see that error in churches? That is what we will consider this morning.

THE ERROR OF BALAAM – MAKING PROFIT FROM THE WORK OF THE LORD – PART 2 Jude 1:10-11(b) Jude is the book that we are seriously considering. We did Cain and Korah In Part 1 from last week.

Jesus And Peter Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Jun 5, 2014

If we learn from Peter – hear the straight talk of Jesus to Peter and to us we can avoid a lot of the pitfalls and mistakes Peter made. If we yield to the straight talk of Jesus – listen – repent – change course then we too can make a difference for the Kingdom of Heaven.

We Can Deceive Ourselves Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Jun 29, 2021

Deception can come from within. Have you ever told yourself a lie, and talked yourself into believing it? That is self-deception. Have you ever seen your friends doing something, and you know it is wrong, but you still talked yourself into doing that exact same thing? That is self-deception.

I Surrender All? Part 1

Contributed by Richard Goble on Mar 19, 2008

When we talk about surrendering to God we think of those who give Him one tenth of their income, or who become foreign missionaries. This account of Abraham reveals that God desires every believer to surrender everything - even their very life.

I SURRENDER ALL? PART 1 God desires absolute surrender from every believer. Genesis 22:1-8 Introduction Illustration: Don’t Argue With A Lighthouse There was an officer in the navy who had always dreamed of commanding a battleship.
