I enjoy watching a bit of baseball, especially during the playoffs. “Dying on third base” is a word picture for great disappointment. It aptly describes the end of Moses’ life, which provides us with powerful lessons for leadership and life.

Heart Song
October 23, 2022 • Pastor Mark Johnson • Deuteronomy 32
Aren’t you thankful that God designed music to lodge in our heads and hearts? He inspired Moses, as he neared death, to leave a haunting song that would warn and instruct present and future generations of God’s people regarding their covenant God and their responsibility to be true to Him.
Preparing For Change
October 16, 2022 • Pastor Mark Johnson • Deuteronomy 31
All earthly leaders are temporary. As Charles Wesley stated, “God buries his workers, but carries on His work.” Moses saw a generation in the wilderness. In Psalm 90, he lamented some of that sorrow. In Deuteronomy, he poured out his heart to the new generation, calling them to love God and be loyal to His covenant. In Dt. 31, it was his time to pass from the scene and he prepared the people for that transition.
