The Rebellion of Korah

The Rebellion of Korah
Numbers 16:1-50
INTRODUCTION: Obviously, the subject of rebellion and murmuring is something covered quite extensively in these last few lessons. Imagine how Moses and Aaron must have felt—much less the Lord. God treats rebellion as the greatest of sins (1 Samuel 15:23). It is a terrible accusation to call a people a rebellious generation (Psalm 78:8). Yet, here they go again. How can we detect rebellion in a person; in a people; in a family; in a church? What steps can we take to avoid becoming rebellious?

CONCLUSION: Rebellion is common, yet it is a wicked sin. Perhaps our viewpoint of it is not strong enough in light of God’s judgment in this chapter. May we learn to guard our own hearts from this horrid sin.
