The enemy couldn’t curse Israel, so he tried to corrupt them. Numbers 25–27 reveals how Balaam’s deceit led God’s people into sin through temptation and compromise. Pastor Paul shows how the greatest threats to faith often come from within, not from outside attacks. You’ll learn how unchecked sin brings destruction, how zeal for God can restore His favor—as seen in Phinehas—and how God’s faithfulness continues through new leadership and promise. This passage warns against spiritual compromise and reminds us that obedience always leads to blessing.
