4. BALAK: MONEY IS THE ANSWER FOR
EVERYTHING

made for laughter, and wine
makes life merry, but money is
the answer for everything
• Mark 10:28-30 – Peter said to
him, “We have left everything
to follow you.” “I tell you the
truth,” Jesus replied, “no one
who has left home or brothers
or sisters or mother or father
or children or fields for me and
the gospel will fail to receive
100 times as much..... (.....and
with them persecutions) and in
the age to come, eternal life.”
5. BALAAM: NOT EVERYONE WHO SAYS,
“LORD...”
• Matthew 7:21-22 “Not
everyone who says to me,
‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the
kingdom of heaven, but only
he does the will of my Father,
who is in heaven. For many
will say to me on that day,
‘Lord, did we not prophesy in
your name....?’”
6. BALAAM: NOT EVERYONE WHO SAYS,
“LORD...”
• Galatians 3:26-27 So in Christ Jesus you are all
children of God through faith, for all of you
who were baptised into Christ have clothed
yourself with Christ.

SAVIOUR

• The Lord was angry with Balaam for his cheap
view of God and his underlying heartlessness

saved
8. THE DONKEY: AN UNEXPECTED
SAVIOUR

you have been healed.
9. JESUS: HE WALKED TOWARDS GOD’S
WRATH
• Mark 10:32-34 They were on
their way up to Jerusalem, with
Jesus leading the way, and the
disciples were astonished, while
those who followed were
afraid...”We are going up to
Jerusalem...and the Son of Man
will be betrayed...They will
condemn him to death and hand
him over to the Gentiles...Three
days later he will rise.”
