Welcome:

Welcome to today's episode, where we look specifically Deuteronomy 4:20-43. 

In this episode, we explore Moses' plea to the Israelites as they prepare to enter the Promised Land. He reminds them that they have been chosen by God, not because of their own greatness, but because of God's love and faithfulness. Yet, this chosen status comes with a heavy responsibility. The Israelites must remain faithful to God, resist the temptations of idolatry, and remember the covenant that has been established.

Join us as we unpack the reasons for obedience, the dangers of idolatry, and the hope that comes from seeking God with all our hearts.
