Series: Deuteronomy
To start off the new year, for the first13 Sundays we’ll make our way through the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy.
A ‘Face to Face’ Relationship
by Mike Bergen | March 31, 2019Moses had a “face to face” relationship with God and you can, too! At the end of Deuteronomy, a statement is made about Moses that makes him very unusual in history. “Since then no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face …” (34:10).
The Song of the Rock
by Daniel Vanderhorst | March 24, 2019God wants us to know that He, the sovereign King, is full of mercy and perfect in justice, and He will fulfill His purposes and keep his promises to His people in spite of their stubborn folly and rejection of Him. The living Rock is worthy of all our love and obedience, and He will one day make all things new.
Choose Life
by Johnny Vanderhorst | March 17, 2019Today we have the opportunity to choose life.
Extreme Consequences for Extreme Glory
by Mike Bergen | March 10, 2019In these two chapters we see God promise extreme blessing when His people trust and obey Him, and we see God promise extreme judgment when people disobey Him. And in both ways, He shows His extreme control and sovereignty over all that happens in the world.
Making Sense of God’s Old Testament Commands
by John Vanderhorst | March 3, 2019The commands show the need for an ultimate grace Moses: “The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me…”
What Will it Take?
by Johnny Vanderhorst | February 24, 2019Moses laid before the people the way of blessing and curse. They primarily chose the curse. Through the better redemption, we are freed to pursue the way of blessing today with total abandon.
Perspective Makes All the Difference
by Mike Bergen | February 17, 2019In Deuteronomy 9, we learn more from Moses’ example of what it means to live by God’s promises and not only by what we see in our personal problems and the circumstances around us. The perspective you choose makes all the difference!
Lesson from the Wilderness
by Blaine Freidline | February 10, 2019Just as He did with the Israelites, God allows you to experience serious need to turn you from everyday remedies to His words and promises. When you entrust yourself to Him and trust His words, you begin to experience life on His higher level.
A Likeable God?
by John Vanderhorst | February 3, 2019We can be at peace with God’s unfathomable ways in light of his unfathomable, disarming love at the cross of Christ.
Every Day, All Day Long
by Johnny Vanderhorst | January 27, 2019The Great Commandment provides a window into who God is, and the incredible nature of His intention for our lives.
The Fence of the Law
by Mike Bergen | January 20, 2019The Ten Commands are a summary of God’s law. Some people think that being a Christian is all about obeying the law, but God has much more for us than that.
Fire for the Mission
by Johnny Vanderhorst | January 13, 2019"Only take care, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things that your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life."
God’s Trust-Building Exercises
by Mike Bergen | January 6, 2019Deuteronomy is a long talk that Moses gave the people of Israel before going into an awesome new land that God had promised them more than 600 years previously. There would be huge giants to face and massive battles to fight, but God wanted the people to trust Him. In chapters 1-3, Moses gives reasons why God can be trusted and explains how their trust could grow stronger. These reasons and principles still apply to us today in our journey through life.
