A talking donkey (yes really), a greedy prophet, and a deadly trap... It’s not a movie plot; it’s one of the most critical warnings in the Bible for the church today.

Ever wonder if it's possible to be "spiritual" and even hear from God, but still be completely on the wrong path? The story of Balaam in the Old Testament is a chilling example. Jude warns us in Jude 1:11, “Woe to them! For they have... plunged into Balaam’s error for profit.”

In this sermon, we take a deep dive into the second warning of Jude 11: The Error of Balaam. We'll unpack the wild story from the book of Numbers and expose the four critical mistakes Balaam made—mistakes that false teachers and even well-meaning Christians are still making today.

Join us as we uncover:
➡️ How to tell the difference between being "spiritual" and being truly Spirit-filled.
➡️ The seductive danger of using God's gifts for personal gain (the "prophet for profit" scheme).
➡️ How one person's compromise can lead thousands into sin, especially sexual sin.
➡️ The fatal pride of thinking you can get away with hidden sin.

This isn't just an ancient story. It’s a roadmap for protecting your faith and recognizing deceptive influences in our modern world of "Christian influencers" and prosperity gospels. Don't fall for the Error of Balaam.
