Episode Details

We often think we must earn God's favor, but in reality, our salvation is a gift of grace. In this episode, Dr. John examines the Israelites' conquest of the promised land, showing that their success came not from their own strength, but from God's mercy. He reminds us that we contribute nothing but our sin, and it is only through God's grace that we are saved. This powerful message calls us to reflect on the gospel's central truth.

Living the Moral Law: A Guide for Every Generation: We begin a new series on Deuteronomy 5-11 entitled, "Living the Moral Law: A Guide for Every Generation." Before Israel entered the Promised Land, Moses reminded them of God's Covenant and instructed them to adhere to God's Law, which is absolute and perfect. The blessings of the land would only be fulfilled when Israel lived according to God's Word. The law does not supress life's joy; it releases it. It's a lesson for us today.
