Deuteronomy (26)
Deuteronomy is a book that is vitally important for Christians because of its message. The book is mainly three addresses of Moses to the people on the east of the river Jordan in which he reminds them that since they are God’s blood-bought people they are to love and worship him and live as a holy people in a land set apart for them.
-
God crowns the year with goodness (Deut 16:9-17)
We look at two feasts that enable the Israelites to acknowledge with great joy that God is the source of all good.
-
The Christian’s Passover (Deut 16:1-8)
In the Passover which is so important to the Jews we have the shadow of a far greater reality in Christ.
-
Three Feasts (Deut 16:1-17)
Moses selects three of the annual feasts and ties them to the exodus event. We look at his emphases and what it meant for Israel and begin to look at their meaning for Christians.
-
A different society (Deut 15)
Chapter 15 gives us a glimpse of a truly caring society in which obedience to God would have brought great blessings.
-
Funerals, food and festivals (Deut 14)
Moses gives three ways in which the people of Israel are to be distinguished from the nations around and the reasons. We consider how the principles involved may apply to us.
