  4. SERVICE FOR MONEY 2 Peter 2:15.16 and Revelation 2:14 • (vs.3-7) The prophets reputation precedes him; the God of the people of God. • (vs.8-14) God is clear with Balaam; “Why are you with them/ don’t go with them.” • (vs.15-21) the bribe funds get larger; the prestige begins to set in. • (vs.22-30) the Angel of the Lord serves the prophet/ The donkey speaks. • (vs.31-35) Balaam’s perverse wayAlmost killed/ Speak only what God says.

  5. Historical Examples of Apostasy 3. The Rebellion of Korah: Num16 SPIRITUAL MUTINY

  6. SPIRITUAL MUTINY • (vs.1-4) The leaders of the congregation and Korah dissatisfied with Moses. • (vs.10-12) Korah is seeking the priesthood/ Rebellion of Dathan and Abiriam. • (vs.15-19) Moses asks God to refuse their offering/ Korah rebels. • (vs.20-28) Moses announces God’s judgment/ stay away from these men. • (vs.29-35) The judgment of God; the earth opens to swallow them up/ fire from God.

  7. Applications: • No one has the right to “re-design” God’s established worship requirements. (Cain failed and chastised ) • No excuses, The service of the Lord is not open to bribes and money gains. (Balaam was disciplined publicly) 3. No position in God’s service gives one the right to rebel against God established leadership; judgment is severe.
