Jude 1:11

Numbers 16 - Korah was a Levite, but he was not satisfied with his place and rose up in rebellion against Moses and Aaron.

“Gainsaying” simply means “speaking against”.

Pride

Psalms 110:4 - God’s views on pride.

Matthew 18:4 - God demands humility and submission.

Disrespect for God’s order

Many disrespect God’s command that there be one church.

Many disrespect God’s commands regarding the work of the church.

Presumption

Korah sinned in presuming to set himself up as the leader and high priest of the people.

People today presume to put their desires ahead of God’s commands and modify their worship to suit themselves.

Deuteronomy 18:20 - The prophet that presumes to speak for God but has not received his message from God shall die.

Rebellion

Divine condemnation

Let us be sure that we do not follow after the gainsaying of Korah.
