Intro:
We’ll begin with Moses’ 1st address or farewell sermon to the Israelites.
Before we begin, let’s have a brief outline of where we’re at in the Book of Dt:
@@ Partial Outline:
I. Moses’ First Address: Remembering the Grace of Yahweh (1:1–4:43)
A. The Preamble to Moses’ First Address (1:1–5)
B. The Essence of Moses’ First Address: The Grace of Calling (1:6–4:40)
C. The Epilogue to Moses’ First Address (4:41–43)
II.
Moses’ Second Address: Explaining the Grace of Yahweh (4:44–29:1)
You can see that the 1st address is from 1:6-4:43 and we’re only attempting to cover 1:6-2:1.
Even then, we’re covering 42 verses!
Remember our theme for the Book of Deuteronomy is: The Gospel According to Moses.
Don’t get lost in the jungle of details until you forget the whole picture.
Let’s begin.
