In this Reformation Sunday message, Pastor Scott explores the story of Balaam and his talking donkey from the Book of Numbers, revealing how the unseen spiritual world often intersects with our daily lives. Drawing parallels between Balaam’s divided loyalties and Martin Luther’s “Two Kingdoms” teaching, the sermon challenges believers to discern where their true allegiance lies—between the temporal powers of the world and the eternal kingdom of God.

With humor, reflection, and practical examples—from car choices to how we pray—the message calls listeners to live out radical generosity, spiritual awareness, and wholehearted trust in God’s active presence. A powerful reminder that faith means opening our eyes to the invisible, letting God’s kingdom invade every decision, and giving until it transforms not only us, but the world around us.
