Helping the Enemy

Orchard Community Church Sermon Audio

It is an amusing sight at a kids sporting event when someone takes the ball in the wrong direction and scores for the opposing team, but it would not be so funny if that happened this weekend in the Super Bowl! There comes a point when people understand what is at stake and should know better. In a sermon called "Helping the Enemy" we look at Numbers chapter 25. Here we see that while God fought for his people against those that wanted to cause them harm, the people end up inviting these enemies into their camp, joining with them in things they knew were wrong, and then end up paying dearly for it. They thought they were just pursuing their own happiness but they ended up helping their enemy. We see how we must be careful today not to get entangled by the ways of this world. We also see that even though many of them sinned and deserved judgement, the righteousness of one man saved many others.
