Hope

Independent Bible Church

October 9, 2022 • Pastor Mark Johnson • Deuteronomy 30

In Deuteronomy 29, Moses called Israel to renew their commitment to keep God’s Covenant, but told them they wouldn’t have a heart to keep it since God hadn’t given them such a heart (29:4). How would this fit together? Dt. 29:29 comforts our confusion and then, Dt. 30 gives HOPE in God and His ultimate plan and mercy. How can wayward hearts be changed?

Dying on Third Base

November 6, 2022 • Pastor Mark Johnson • Deuteronomy 34

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.

The Eternal God

October 30, 2022 • Pastor Mark Johnson • Deuteronomy 33

As Moses approached death, His passion was that the nation he had led would keep their eyes on the LORD and thus always experience life under God’s blessing (33:1). He wanted them to “Keep Love Alive!”

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.
