As we read through Deuteronomy 16‘s description of the feasts and celebrations the Lord commanded the people to observe, we saw the repeated phrase and theme of “the place the Lord will choose.” The people of God were told over and over–for they were prone to forget and rebel–that they were to sacrifice according to the Lord’s instructions. As we battle to submit our ways to God (just as the nation of Israel), we see that the more rebellious we are, the less available we are to God. Listen to the whole sermon.
