This Sunday, the twentieth Sunday after Pentecost, we will continue our sermon series on the Book of Deuteronomy. The series is entitled Words for People on the Border.
The text we will explore is Deuteronomy 10:12-22; a passage that Walter Brueggemann describes as "a bid for Israel’s most serious and most willing obedience to YWHW with the central motivation being who YWHW is and what YWHW has done.” The passage opens with a simple statement of what God requires of this people on the border: fear God, serve God, love God, and walk in God's ways. Thats it! Simple right!?
How do we live into these commands that are both "simple and inexhaustible?" How do we follow after a God who reigns supreme in the highest of heavens and also gets down and dirty in the earthly work of justice for the vulnerable?
