In God’s divine providence, our study of DT leads us to study the topic of justice. Right now, our nation is experiencing a great deal of anger and outrage as a result of injustice. Justice has been denied and it’s created a national crisis. In DT...

God has chosen Israel to be his treasured possession and with that privilege comes a holy calling- to be a distinct people on the face of the earth for the glory of God. In the next section of Deuteronomy, Moses outlines how Israel will be set apart...

Moses goes to great lengths to reveal to the Israelite's how dependent and incapable they truly are. He wants them to see the greatness of God, but he knows of their temptation toward pride and self-dependence. He knows that these wrong attitudes...

As we read Deuteronomy we are reminded of just how devoted God is to his people. And it is because of his love and devotion to them that He disciplines them. As the Lord led Israel through the wilderness He was testing them and teaching them in order...

God commands Israel to go to war with the 7 nations who are occupying the Promise Land. These people are seen as trespassers in the eyes of the Lord for He had promised to give this land to Israel. These enemies Israel would face were more numerous...

This week we study the heart of the covenant, the greatest commandment in all the Bible. In Deuteronomy chapter 6, Moses instructs Israel in what it means to love God and be devoted to him alone. And he commands that they be diligent to teach the...

As Moses continues preaching to Israel, he recounts to them the covenant God made with them at Sinai. Central to this covenant are the 10 commandments. The glory and goodness of these laws known as the 10 commandments are timeless and universally...

To be human is to be a worshipper. You were created and designed as a worshipper. As a worshipper, you will either worship the one true and living God or you will worship something else. When we worship God we show him to be as He is, supremely...

The Bible does not tells us to eliminate fear from our lives. Rather, the Bible repeatedly commands us to fear not our enemies but the Lord. Jesus in his ministry will say, “do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear...

This morning we begin a new sermon series in the book of Deuteronomy. Deuteronomy is considered the heart of the Old Testament and is frequently on the lips of Jesus in the New Testament. Far from being irrelevant for the modern church, Deuteronomy...

We start every year with the reminder to put Christ first, to commune with Christ and love him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. This morning we are going to turn to Proverbs 3 to find instruction on how to trust in the Lord and make him...
