The Lord is the same yesterday, today and forever. This is New Testament truth. But it is eternal truth. The Lord who called, redeemed and set Israel apart is the the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. As such, we can learn much from Israel, the Lord's son by covenant. He saved them by his grace and told them how to live--by way of the Torah. As Christians in the 21st Century, God still tells us, his covenant people how to live. Come with the Grace United crew as we see the blessing and curse God has in store for his people, depending on how they respond to his divine ways, his "ancient paths."

"These are the words . . ." so begins Deuteronomy, which in the Hebrew Bible is the actual title of this book. What words did Moses speak to the hundreds of thousands who at that time made up the nation of Israel? Words of reminder. Words of rebuke. Implied words of hope and of the faithfulness of the Lord. Is there a lesson for us today as followers of Christ, in one of the books of the Law of God? Come with the Grace United crew as we hear Moses' opening words to his people.

God is the ultimate Person in the universe. God is the almighty, faithful one. God has an infinite, perfect, heart of love and affection for his people. One might think we are talking about Christ's love for His church. All this is true. However, these things are true of how God treats His people in Old Testament as well. Come with the Grace Unted crew as we merely scratch the surface of all that the Lord is, as we explore His faithful heart of love.

As Grace United, we have a tradition: when we finish a book of the Bible, we review the entire book in one message. Today's message reflects our tradition, for today we finish Deuteronomy. Come with the Grace United crew as we step back and attempt to take in the entire "Gospel According to Moses."
