Greed Runs Deep | Villains of the Faith | Dr. Tony Soldano

In this sermon, we explore the book of Jude, which warns against those who have a "taste" for things other than God. Jude highlights three Old Testament figures, with a special focus on Balaam, a prophet who could hear from God but was corrupted by greed.Though hired to curse the Israelites, Balaam was only able to bless them. Motivated by a reward, he instead advised the enemy king to seduce the Israelites, causing them to break their covenant with God and bring a plague upon themselves.This story serves as a powerful reminder that the greatest threats often come from within. The sermon challenges us to fight for our faith and not let a "taste" for money or power compromise our integrity. We are encouraged to choose righteousness over material reward, even if it means losing out in the short term, because our true treasure is found elsewhere.#sundayservice #sermon #villain
