Sermons
- Deuteronomy 6:1-9 Loving God (Anders)
When someone asked Jesus what was the greatest commandment, he replied that it was the Shema. The Shema begins with an emphasis on hearing, “Hear, Israel.” It then says, “The Lord is our God, the Lord is one.” Next the Shema commands us to love God.
- Deuteronomy 8:2-3 The New Manna (Hoffacker)
We might not realize that we are sustained by the gifts of God. One prison that holds us fast is belief in our own self-sufficiency. We may be trapped by an insistence that we have earned whatever we have or that we must earn whatever we want.
- Deuteronomy 11:18-21, 26-28 God Gives You a Choice (Kegel)
Something interesting is occurring now among young people. They aren't looking for easy religion, but are rather turning to churches that are rigorous in their demands, that are clear about what to believe and what to do.
- Deuteronomy 26:1-11 A Cry For Help (Wagner)
God cares. God sees our dilemma just as God saw the plight of the Israelites. The Lord “heard” their voice and “saw” their affliction. And God sees our affliction and hears our voices as well. God wants us to cry for help, and God wants to help us.
- Deuteronomy 30:19 Embracing Life (Bowen)
What a strange thing to say – choose life! Those words suggest that there is a “life” that is more than biological heart beat and lung breath.
- Deuteronomy 34:1-12 The Death of Moses (McLarty)
Just as God called Moses to lead the people of Israel so long ago, God calls us to speak and act in his name today. I hope you’ll remember this: When God calls your name, God will be with you to help you succeed.
- Deuteronomy 34:1-12 Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained (Wagner)
The story of Moses’ death troubles us. Moses led his people from Egypt and through their wilderness journey. Now God refuses to let him enter the Promised Land. It seems unfair.
- Deuteronomy 34:5-12 It Wasn’t Supposed to Be This Way (Anders)
We can learn much about Moses from his obituary. “There has not arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom Yahweh knew face to face.... ” What a fitting tribute to one of the greatest leaders in the Bible!
