We are continuing our study through Deuteronomy: Invading a Pagan Land with Holiness and Truth during our 9:30 hour. Currently, we are in chapter 5 and we see how the Word of God was to stand out as the moral compass and ethical anchor for society. The verb “shama” meaning “to hear” or “to listen” occurs 92 times in the book of Deuteronomy. Just as the Israelites were to listen to God’s commands, this verb reminds Christians that growing and maturing is directly related to our ability to listen to God’s word. Pastor Matt continues to explore the rich implications that Deuteronomy has for believers today.
Our sermon series in 1 Corinthians continues at 11 am. We have been studying about pursuing contentment in the sermon “Staying in Your Lane” from chapter 7:17-31. We have learned that one of the values of singleness is the ability to leverage our freedom to serve God more fully. Next, we will be discussing “Balancing Spiritual and Worldly Concerns” from 1 Corinthians 7:32-40.
