  1. Ep 1024 – John 1:1-5

    Today we begin a brand-new series on the Gospel of John. This remarkable book will take us on incredible journey of discovery that that begins with the very first day of Jesus' earthly ministry when He was baptized by John in the wilderness, all the way to His death, burial, and resurrection more...

  2. Ep 1021 – Deuteronomy 33:18-22

    In today's passage, Moses blesses four more of the tribes. This time, he calls out Zebulun, Issachar, Gad, and Dan. There were four of the smaller tribes of Israel and the each had a less-than-stellar record when it came to faithfulness to Yahweh. So, in Deuteronomy 33:128-22, Moses will keep his...

  3. Ep 1023 – Deuteronomy 34:1-12

    At the end of chapter 33, Moses made the compelling confession, "There is no one like the God of Israel." He wanted the people to know that they served a great and incomparable God. But at the same time, the author of the book of Deuteronomy seems to want his readers to know that Moses was also...

  4. Ep 1022 – Deuteronomy 33:23-29

    Moses was fully convinced that Israel served an incomparable God, who had no equals and, therefore, deserved His peoples' unwavering commitment. But in Deuteronomy 33:23-29, as Moses wraps up his blessings of the tribes with an address to Naphtali and Asher, he reminds them of God's goodness and...

  5. Ep 1020 – Deuteronomy 33:12-17

    In Deuteronomy 33:12-17, Moses continues his blessing of the 12 tribes of Israel. And in these verses, he focuses his attention of the tribes of Benjamin, Ephraim and Manasseh. These were three of the smaller tribes in Israel, but their diminutive size did not mean they were unimportant. Speaking...

  6. Ep 1019 – Deuteronomy 33:6-11

    In Deuteronomy 33:6-11, Moses begins to issue his blessings upon the 12 tribes of Israel. While he will not be entering the land of promise with them, he still feels like their spiritual father and wants to communicate his last words of encouragement to each of them. He will echo the words of...

  7. Ep 1018 – Deuteronomy 33:1-5

    Moses is fully aware that his days on this earth are quickly drawing to a close. But with a shepherd's heart, he wants to leave his flock with one last message. And it will come in the form of a blessing. The one who led them out of Egypt and guided them through the wilderness and all the way to...

  8. Ep 1017 – Deuteronomy 32:48-52

    As the Book of Deuteronomy draws to a close, it also brings an end to the leadership of Moses. But God had more in store for Moses than simply turning over the reins of leadership to Joshua. He was going to give up far more than his role as deliverer of Israel. Moses wouldn't have the option of...

  9. Ep 1016 – Deuteronomy 32:39-47

    God doesn't make idol threats. Whatever He says, He does. When He makes a promise, He keeps it. When He issues a threat, He follows through with it. And in Deuteronomy 32:39-47, God lets His people know that they can believe all that He has said to them. They were to take His words seriously and...

  10. Ep 1015 – Deuteronomy 32:28-38

    God will not tolerate disobedience from His chosen people. He has warned them repeatedly that their failure to remain faithful to Him will have dire consequences, including their ultimate fall to foreign powers who will destroy and enslave them. But in Deuteronomy 32:28-38, God has a few choice...

  11. Ep 1014 – Deuteronomy 32:19-27

    Nobody likes to talk about the wrath of God. But, interestingly enough, God has no problem discussing His anger and wrath. And as we'll see in Deuteronomy 32:19-27, He doesn't hesitate to discuss His anger or the consequences it will bring about. But God's anger is anything but capricious. He is...

  12. Ep 1013 – Deuteronomy 32:10-18

    This song that God has given to Moses is an unpleasant one. It will not be a joy to sing or hear. But it comes from the lips of God Himself, so its words are true, and its meaning is clear. The chosen people of God were going to experience the horror of captivity once again. They would enter the...

  13. Ep 1012 – Deuteronomy 31:30-32:9

    It was Neil Diamond who recorded the 1972 hit, "Song Sung Blue." It was a memorable tune that opened with the lines, "Song sung blue, everybody knows one, Song sung blue, every garden grows one." But while this song hit number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the song we're going to look at…

    more

  14. Ep 1011 – Deuteronomy 31:23-29

    What should have been an exciting new day for Joshua was quickly turning into a day worth forgetting. He was about to take over for Moses and was going to have the distinct privilege of leading the nation of Israel in their conquest of the land of Canaan. But before he could take over the reins…

    more

  15. Ep 1010 – Deuteronomy 31:14-22

    A new leader. A new land. A new opportunity to enjoy the blessings of God. This was to have been a great day in the history of the nation of Israel. But when Moses and his successor met with God in the tent of meeting, the joy of the moment was overshadowed by some unexpected news from the...

  16. Ep 1008 – Deuteronomy 31:1-8

    Moses was a natural-born leader, but what made him so effective was his calling and anointing by God. He had spent nearly half a century leading some of the most difficult to lead people that had ever walked the planet. Now, just as they were getting ready to enter the land of promise, he was...

  17. Ep 1009 – Deuteronomy 31:9-13

    A large portion of the Book of Deuteronomy is dedicated to Moses' recitation of the law to the people of Israel. It was vital to Moses that they understood the seriousness of the law and God's expectation that they live in obedience to it. He was determined that they have the right kind of...

  18. Ep 1007 – Deuteronomy 30:11-20

    In Deuteronomy 30:11-20, Moses continues to deliver his closing remarks to the people of Israel. They are poised to enter the promised land, but he is making one last attempt to prepare them for what lies ahead. He will not be going with them and so, he is making an extra-special effort to make...

  19. Ep 1006 – Deuteronomy 30:1-10

    Why is it that the people of God have a nagging tendency to make everything about themselves? We declare God to be the one we worship, then turn around and make ourselves the center of attention. Even when it comes to our salvation, we wrongly assume that It's all up to us. It's all contingent on...

  20. Ep 1005 – Deuteronomy 29:16-29

    Everyone loves a secret. That is, if they're in on it. But no one likes to be the last to know or to be kept in the dark. So, it is only natural that the Israelites were anxious to know how things were going to turn out when they finally crossed over the Jordan River and entered the land of…

    more

  21. Ep 1004 – Deuteronomy 29:1-15

    God Is Faithful. Are You? With the close of chapter 28, Moses is officially done with his recitation of God's law and his declaration of God's blessings and curses. Now, it's time for the people to recommit themselves to keeping God's law. They had made a covenant with God some 40 years earlier....

  22. Ep 1003 – Deuteronomy 28:58-68

    Deuteronomy 28 is a long chapter and it contains its fair share of depressing news. A great portion of its 68 verses have to do with the curses God warns He will bring upon the nation of Israel should they prove to be unwilling to keep His law and to faithfully worship and serve Him alone. And in...

  23. Ep 1002 – Deuteronomy 28:52-57

    Deuteronomy 28:52-57 is one of the most difficult passages in all of Scripture. In it, Moses explains to the people what will happen if they choose to disobey God. He has already warned them that God will bring curses upon them, but these verses describe something that would have sent chills up...

  24. Ep 1001 – Deuteronomy 28:36-51

    hen Israel finally made it into the promised land, they would end up living life in 3D. And those 3 Ds would be disobedience, discipline, and destruction. While God had promised them an abundance of blessings if they would simply obey His commands, they were going to choose disobedience, which...

  25. Ep 1000 – Deuteronomy 28:25-35

    How would you like to have been in Moses' sandals, forced to deliver a less-than-appealing message of doom and gloom to the people of Israel? He was having to deliver some significantly bad news to the nation, warning them of what was going to happen should they choose to disobey God's commands....

  26. Ep 999 – Deuteronomy 28:15-24

    Moses has given the people of Israel the good news. If they obey, they will be blessed. But now, in Deuteronomy 28:15-23, he delivers the bad news. If they choose to disobey God, they will a experience a long list of curses that will come in a wide variety of forms, but all extremely negative and...

  27. Ep 998 – Deuteronomy 28:1-14

    The warning about the curses came first. But Moses quickly follows it up with a list of blessings that will accompany obedience. If the Israelites will simply do what God has commanded, they will experience a life beyond their wildest imaginations. They will be blessed beyond belief. Even the…

    more

  28. Ep 997 – Deuteronomy 27:11-26

    Moses has spent a great deal of time telling the people of Israel what God expected of them. He has given them a lengthy to-do list and now, he's going to tell them what will happen if they choose not to follow God's commands. In Deuteronomy 27:11-26, we have the first of the curses that God…

    more

  29. Ep 996 – Deuteronomy 27:1-10

    Israel's status as God's chosen people was not something they were to take for granted. They enjoyed a privileged position unlike any other people group on the planet. And as they prepared to enter the land promised to them by God, Moses commanded them to construct a stone monument that would…

    more

  30. Ep 995 – Deuteronomy 26:12-19

    Love for God. Love for others. Both of these things were to be considered non-negotiables for the people of God. And as Moses prepared the nation of Israel for their imminent entry into the land of Canaan, he wanted them to understand just how important it was that they care for the needy among...

  31. Ep 994 – Deuteronomy 26:1-11

    The recitation of rules and regulations is finally over. All of that had been intended as a preface, preparing the people of Israel for the moment when they would finally cross over the Jordan and enter the land of promise. And in Deuteronomy 26:1-11, Moses provides them with instructions...

  32. Ep 993 – Deuteronomy 25:11-19

    The various scenarios that Moses presents in Deuteronomy are almost comical in nature. His seemingly endless list of strange situations and the particular laws that apply to them is truly amazing. But it just goes to show how deeply God cares about the holiness of His people. He leaves nothing to...

  33. Ep 992 – Deuteronomy 25:1-10

    All of creation is the handiwork of God. And He chose to place mankind as stewards over all that He made. So, as Moses delivers to the Israelites God's rules for regulating their behavior, he includes instructions regarding their care of domestic animals. But, oddly enough, he sandwiches it...

  34. Ep 991 – Deuteronomy 24:14-22

    We hear a lot of talk about justice these days. And rightfully so. God cares about justice and so should we. But it is important that we define justice according to God's terms and not those of the world. So, in Deuteronomy 24:14-22, Moses continues to outline God's expectations for the people of...

  35. Ep 990 – Deuteronomy 24:5-13

    Individuality and community. Both are important to God. And nowhere is this made more clear than in Deuteronomy 24:5-13. In these verses, Moses outlines some very specific rules and regulations regarding life within the corporate community of Israel. This collection of individuals was made up of...

  36. Ep 988 – Deuteronomy 23:15-25

    It would be a rare occasion for an Israelite to encounter a situation where he had to ask the question: What would God have me do? That's because God had provided His people with a very detailed and comprehensive list of rules and regulations for life. And Deuteronomy 23:15-25 contains yet one…

    more

  37. Ep 989 – Deuteronomy 24:1-4

    Moses spent a great deal of time elaborating on a host of "what-if" situations that might occur within the nation of Israel. It wasn't that he doubted that these scenarios could or would take place, he was simply covering any and every imaginable circumstance that might result in the people of…

    more

  38. Ep 987 – Deuteronomy 23:9-14

    Purity was to be a high-priority for the people of God – in every area of their lives. There was no place or potential circumstance where the pursuit of holiness was either unnecessary or failed to apply. And as we'll see in Deuteronomy 23:9-14, even the front lines of battle were to be…

    more

  39. Ep 986 – Deuteronomy 23:1-8

    The worship of God is serious business. And not everyone is worthy to enter into His presence. When God set apart the nation of Israel as His chosen possession, he also provided them with His law. Those decrees and commandments were intended to regulate their behavior, so that they could remain...

  40. Ep 985 – Deuteronomy 22:22-30

    Moses isn't done dealing with the topic of marriage. In Deuteronomy 22:22-30, he provides further rules and regulations governing the institution of marriage among the people of Israel. Their view on marriage was to be radically different than that of the pagan nations around them. For them,...

  41. Ep 984 – Deuteronomy 22:13-21

    In Deuteronomy 22:13-21, we have yet another strange scenario presented by Moses to the people of Israel. This one involves the institution of marriage, something near and dear to the heart of God because it was His idea. As we look at this particular regulation, it is essential that we keep…

    more

  42. Ep 983 – Deuteronomy 22:1-12

    As Moses continues to inform the people of Israel about God's laws regulating every aspect of life within their corporate community, the rules seem to get stranger and ever-more specific. In Deuteronomy 22:1-12, Moses deals with everything from the care of livestock and regulations concerning...

  43. Ep 982 – Deuteronomy 21:22-23

    In Deuteronomy 21:22-23, Moses follows up his teaching concerning the inheritance of the firstborn son and the death of the rebellious son with a rather short instruction regarding the body of an executed criminal. This is another example of God giving very detailed laws concerning what seems to…

    more

  44. Ep 981 – Deuteronomy 21:15-21

    Today's passage is a doozy. It deals with two potential scenarios involving the relationship between a father and his son. And these two sample situations could not be any more different or disparate in their outcome. One involves how to handle an inheritance when a man has more than one son...

  45. Ep 980 – Deuteronomy 21:10-14

    Reading the book of Deuteronomy can be like watching a game of Rubgy. It looks vaguely familiar but then, all of the sudden, you find yourself asking, "What in the world just happened? "This isn't football!" you shout. "There's no rules! It all makes no sense!" And in Deuteronomy 21:10-14, you're...

  46. Ep 979 – Deuteronomy 21:1-9

    In Deuteronomy 21:1-9, Moses presents a strange, yet very specific scenario involving what to do in the case of a murder where the guilty party remains unknown. Like the law of God, Moses was leaving few, if any, loopholes that would allow the Israelites to permit sin to remain in the camp. In…

    more

  47. The Risen Lord

    The cross is barren. The tomb is empty. The Lord is risen. The price has been paid and God has been fully satisfied. Sin and death have been conquered. Salvation has been provided, and all our sins have been taken care of once and for all. Forgiveness has been made available. Mercy has been meted...

  48. Ep 978 – Deuteronomy 20:10-20

    Reading the Old Testament can be a bit disconcerting at times. After all, within its pages are found countless stories of men perpetrating all kinds of evil against one another. And oftentimes, their seemingly godless actions are in keeping with God's commands. They are simply doing what He has...

  49. Ep 977 – Deuteronomy 20:1-9

    Once the people of Israel crossed over the Jordan and entered the land of Canaan, the real work would begin. They would be expected to do battle with the current occupants of the land, defeating them and dispossessing them from their homes, villages, towns, and cities. It was going to require a...

  50. Ep 976 – Deuteronomy 19:14-21

    God had set apart the people of Israel, deeming them to be His treasured possession. As such, they were expected to live differently than the other nations around them. And to make sure they understood just how distinctive their lives were to be, God had given them His law as a code of conduct.…
