The Sin That Destroys Churches | Balaam’s Warning Still Matters | 2 Peter 2:13-16 | May 31st, 2026

What does the story of Balaam teach us about greed, false teachers, sin, and judgment? In this sermon from 2 Peter 2:13-16, we explore one of the Bible’s strongest warnings ...against spiritual deception and selfish living. Peter compares false prophets to Balaam, a man who knew God’s truth but still chose personal gain over obedience.

This message examines:
1. Why Balaam became a symbol of corruption
2. What false teaching looks like today
3. How sin slowly hardens the heart
4. Why communion requires self-examination
5. The difference between Balaam’s way and Christ’s way
6. What Jesus meant by the narrow path

Whether you are a Christian, skeptic, new believer, or simply curious about the Bible, this sermon challenges us to ask an important question: Are we following Christ… or drifting toward Balaam’s way?

Scripture References:
1. 2 Peter 2:13-16
2. Numbers 22-24
3. Numbers 31
4. 1 Corinthians 11:27-32
5. Matthew 7:13-14
