Deut 19 Motives for Murder

God's law often gets a bad rap--many view it as negative and oppressive.  But as we get into the latter part of Deuteronomy, we get a chance to take a closer look at the law, and we find that God's law is concerned with just treatment for both victims and the accused.  Join us this week as we learn why motive and intent matter when it comes to breaking the law.

Christ Our Priest Deut 18 Advent Series 2

In our mini-Advent series, we look at Christ, anointed to be a prophet, a priest, and a king.  Join us this week for our second sermon in this series, Christ Our Priest.  (Note: due to audio problems, the third and final sermon in this series did not get recorded.)

Christ Our Prophet - Deut 18 Advent Series

During Advent, we remember that Jesus Christ came to the earth.  But what did he come to do?  The Bible points to three major roles that Jesus takes on in his life:  he came to be a prophet, a priest, and a king.  Join us for this special Advent series as we examine each of these aspects of Jesus' work.

Happiness and Giving - Deut 14

God instructs Israel to give, and there are multiple avenues to giving described in Deuteronomy.  Join us as we see the connection between happiness and giving in all the ways God calls us to give.

Baptism Service - Hiding in Plain Sight - Col 2

This Sunday we put our study of Deuteronomy on hold to focus on baptism.  God gave us the privilege of baptizing one adult and one child this weekend.  Our text is from Colossians 2.  

Deut 12 - Worship God's Way

Israel's laws governing worship are surprisingly relevant to modern times.  As we continue our overview of Deuteronomy, we will see the many ways that worship in the old covenant era informs our worship in the new.

Deut 10 - What God Asks of Us

It's nice when people are clear in their expectations for us.  In the passage today, God is clear in telling Israel what he asks of them.  It turns out that he asks a lot, but he also provides a lot in the end.  Join us to learn more.

Deut 9 - Quickly Falling Away

It's easy to get worked up by the evil and folly we see "out there" in the world.  But what about "in here," in our own hearts and actions?  Think of the passage today as the Old Testament equivalent to Jesus telling us to take the log out of our eyes before taking the spec out of someone else's. 

Deut 8 - Testing in Good Times and Bad

God often tests his people, but who is the test for?  Does God need to figure out something about us, or do we?  We often expect testing to come in times of trial, but what if there's a unique test that comes in times of abundance?  Join us for more.

Deut 7:1-11 - Holy to the Lord

When we read the Old Testament, we read of war and conquest.  We read of God's people moving into the Promised Land and removing other people from that land.  It's natural to wonder about this and to question what God is doing here.  Today's message attempts to tackle this question as we seek to understand God on his own terms.
