Description

Journey with the Renown podcast team into the book of Deuteronomy, where the 40-year wilderness story comes to a close and the stage is set for the Promised Land. In this episode, they trace how Jesus is revealed through the promised prophet like Moses, the rock of salvation, the cities of refuge, and the call to a circumcised heart. They unpack how the law is framed by God’s grace, explore the blessings and curses, and reflect on Moses’ plea to “choose life,” connecting it all to modern discipleship, outreach, Sabbath, and learning to remember God’s faithfulness in everyday life.

Finding Jesus in Deuteronomy

1. Read Deuteronomy 18:15–19. How does this “prophet like Moses” point to Jesus? How is Jesus like Moses, and how is He greater than Moses?
2. Read Deuteronomy 32:3–4 and 1 Corinthians 10:1–4. What does it mean that God (and Christ) is called “the Rock”? How has Jesus been a “rock” in your own life?
3. Look at the cities of refuge in Deuteronomy 19. In what ways do these cities picture Jesus as our refuge and safe place from judgment?
4. Deuteronomy speaks of circumcision of the heart(e.g., Deut. 10:16; 30:6). How does this foreshadow the new birth and heart transformation Jesus talks about in John 3?
