Episode 145

#145, Deuteronomy, where rules become joyful reality in our lives

In the book of Deuteronomy, the last of the five books of Moses that make up the Pentateuch, Moses preaches a final series of sermons to the people about to enter the Promised Land.

There is a lot to talk about, but in this lesson, we’ll discuss three areas:

    1. How we should love 2.How we should give 3.How we should define ourselves and how it influences all we do

A few thoughts from the lesson include that we should love as a reflection of God’s love for us; that love results in extravagant joyful giving (in a passage you are sure to find quite surprising from what you’ve previously heard about giving), giving that includes supporting the church and those who do God’s ministry among us, celebrating joyfully before the Lord, and sharing with those less fortunate. In the final area of how we view ourselves, we note how God sees us corporately, as a PEOPLE, as a Kingdom where Jesus joyfully rules every part of our lives.

Many of us have wandered long enough in the spiritual journeys of life and Deuteronomy can help us end going around in circles and live in the Promised Land of God’s will where He joyfully intends us to be.
