Balaam, Balak, and the Power of Three: How God’s Sovereignty Prevails | Numbers 22-24

Thaddeus Fennig


In this week’s sermon at 704 Church, we explore Numbers 22-24, the story of Balaam and Balak, and the powerful symbolism of threes woven throughout Scripture.

King Balak of Moab, fearful of Israel’s growing power, sought to curse God’s people by hiring Balaam, a pagan prophet. Yet, despite Balaam’s initial resistance, God allowed him to go—but only to speak what He commanded. Three times, Balaam attempted to curse Israel, but three times, God turned the curse into a blessing, reinforcing His sovereign plan. 

This pattern of threes is deeply symbolic, echoing moments throughout Moses' leadership and pointing forward to Christ; watch the sermon to find out more!

Through Balaam’s story, we see that no scheme of man can override God’s promises. Just as He turned intended curses into blessings for Israel, He works all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28).

Join us as we unpack the deeper meaning of God’s control over every situation and how His sovereignty reigns over all!
