The Intercessor

April 7, 2024 • Connor Kraus • Deuteronomy

During their 40-year journey through the desert, God’s people earned judgement over and over. But God continued showing them mercy, often because Moses advocated for them. In this discussion of Deuteronomy 9, Pastor Connor talks about Moses as a mediator between God and Israel. He also examines how Moses foreshadowed our great mediator, Jesus Christ. As our sacrifice and our advocate before God’s throne, Jesus is our sole source of salvation, past, present, and future.

More from Deuteronomy - A Call to Faithfulness

The Death of Moses

May 26, 2024 • Connor Kraus • Deuteronomy 34

Connor Kraus wraps up our Deuteronomy series with a look at the end of Moses' life. We get a glimpse into the unique and spiritually intimate relationship between God and Moses. Despite Moses' status, we learn that even he had to endure the consequences of his sin and only peer over, rather than enter into, the Promised Land. And Connor challenges us with the notion that our reaction to this scene says much about our faith.

The Song of Moses

May 19, 2024 • Jim Congdon • Deuteronomy

Songs communicate with us at a deep level, so it’s no surprise that God inspired Moses to include one at the very end of Deuteronomy. This week, Pastor Jim walks us through the famous Song of Moses, which some have called the Israelites’ national anthem. He discusses the song’s structure, its poetry, and what it teaches us about God’s plan to redeem the world.

You've Already Won

May 12, 2024 • Connor Kraus • Deuteronomy 20:1–4, Ephesians 6:10–13, Revelation 20:7–10

When the Israelites entered the promised land, they were thrown into the middle of an ancient war. Today, we continue fighting that same war. In this week’s sermon, Pastor Connor looks at the battle instructions God provided to his people in Deuteronomy, as well as how those instructions apply to our toughest battles today. (Spoiler alert: Our side has already won!)
