What’s the Point of Deuteronomy? – Deuteronomy E1
Playback speed
Have you ever wondered where the earliest sermons in the Bible are found? Moses’ final speech to Israel, found in Deuteronomy, is the first time we see what is essentially a modern sermon—a long speech meant to communicate God’s truth. Just as Israel is about to enter the promised land, Moses reminds them that, just like their ancestors, they have the choice to live by their own wisdom or to follow Yahweh’s life-giving commands. Join Tim and Jon as they dive into the final scroll of the Torah and explore the choice before Israel—and the choice we face today too.View full show notes from this episode →Timestamps Part one (00:00-20:00)Part two (20:00-40:38)Part three (40:38-1:02:14)Referenced ResourcesIntroduction to the Old Testament as Scripture, Brevard S.
