Mid-week message for February 13


The sermon on Sunday (Feb. 13) is titled, “In simple terms” and uses Deuteronomy 30:15-20 as the text:

"See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. For I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.

But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient, and if you are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them, I declare to you this day that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.

This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob."

Here are some questions that might help to focus our thoughts leading up to worship:

*What is your response to this offer that God extended to the people of Israel and now extends to you?

*How do you explain your choice to friends, family and others?

*Where is your choice lived out?
