[7/12/2026 AM] Our Personal Relationship with God (Deuteronomy 5) Pastor Matthew Walker

Speaker: Pastor Walker Series: Deuteronomy 

Kids learn what's important by watching adults and listening to their words. In Deuteronomy 6, Moses tells parents to teach their children about God's goodness. When we walk with the Lord and share His faithfulness with others, we help shape the next generation. Abe Philip reminds us that each of us has a story to tell of God's faithfulness and how He has transformed our lives. So, what's your story?

A Sermon Series in the Book of Deuteronomy

Passing the Baton - Part 5Passing on Loyalty to God | Deuteronomy 6:13-19Big Idea: Loyalty to the Lord guards every generation.What does it mean to be loyal to the Lord?1. Fear the Lord above all (Deut. 6:13-15)2. Follow the Lord in all things (Deut. 6:16-19)

Passing the Baton - Part 4Passing on the Promises of God | Deuteronomy 6:10-12Fulfilled promises must not lead to forgotten faithfulness.  How do we guard against forgetting God's faithfulness?1. Recognize God's provision (Deut. 6:10-11)2. Recall God's redemption (Deut. 6:12)

What if every hard season you've walked through was actually preparing you for the next one? In Deuteronomy 11, Pastor Joel Hastings brings the final message of Grace Point's Deuteronomy series — and the question Moses puts before Israel is the same one we face today: will you trust God's way, or take your own? Drawing from Israel's journey out of Egypt and into the Promised Land, Pastor Joel unpacks why God led his people into a land dependent on rain — not rivers — and what that has to do with your life right now. From the discipline of the wilderness to the picture of Joshua (whose name is the same as Jesus), this message lands on a simple but powerful truth: you never graduate from trusting God. You graduate into greater trust. Here's a couple key takeaways - Tomorrow's blessings are shaped by today's obedience — the choices you make now determine the fruit you see later. - You don't outgrow the wilderness, you grow through it — each season of hardship builds the faith muscles you'll need for the next. - It was never about what you could do — Moses couldn't get Israel into the Promised Land, and the law can't get you to God. Only Jesus (the greater Joshua) can lead you across.

Title: Remember the Lord Your GodPreacher: Matt DamicoPassage: Deuteronomy 8

Passing the Baton - Part 2Passing on a Love for God| Deuteronomy 6:4-5Big Idea: Generational faithfulness requires love for God.What should love for God look like?1. Exclusive love (Deuteronomy 6:4)2. Whole-hearted love (Deuteronomy 6:5)

We cannot pass on what we don't possess. So what are we passing on? What are we handing over as "first importance" to the next generation? In this message, Pastor Jeremy Writebol shows how knowing and loving for God must be the primary ambitions for our lives, so that we will faithfully pass on the best to the next generation. 

Deuteronomy 6 reminds us that Moses called God's people to love the Lord with all their heart, soul, and might. Listen in as Pastor Chris Hansen teaches us how a wholehearted love for God shapes faith that lasts from one generation to the next.

Deuteronomy 10:12–22 presents what Moses identifies as the central demand of the covenant: to fear the Lord, walk in all his ways, love him, and serve him with all the heart and soul. This exposition traces that demand through the covenant renewal of Deuteronomy 10:1–11, its echoes in the prophets and in Christ's own words, and the sovereign grace that alone makes obedience possible. Main points: - The covenant renewal — Deuteronomy 10:1–11 - The central demand — Deuteronomy 10:12–13 - The demand echoed in the prophets and in Matthew 23 - The goodness and mercy of God in election — Deuteronomy 10:14–15 - The call to heart circumcision and the New Covenant promise — Deuteronomy 10:16 and 30:6 - The perfections of God and the one only living and true God — Deuteronomy 10:17–18 - Love the stranger; hold fast to God — Deuteronomy 10:19–22 - Christ, the true Israel, and the New Covenant Scripture references: - Genesis 13; 18:19 - Exodus 23; 24; 32; 34 - Leviticus 19:34 - Deuteronomy 5:29; 6:4, 24; 7:6-8; 8; 9:4, 6, 20; 10:1-22; 30:6 - Proverbs 21:3 - Hosea 12:6 - Micah 6:1-8 - Zechariah 7:8-10 - Matthew 23:23 - Romans 2:28-29 - Galatians 4:8 - Ephesians 1:4 - Philippians 3:1 - Colossians 2:11-12 - 1 John 5:3

"Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations." Deuteronomy 7:9  

A Sermon Series in the Book of Deuteronomy

Guest Speaker

In this episode, we find ourselves in the fourth week following the fourth Sunday of Lent, and we are going to be working through Deuteronomy 30:11-20. In this passage, we hear some of Moses' final words to the people of Israel as they prepare to enter the promised land. Together, we talk about the choice that we are presented with each and every moment of every day, we can either choose life, or choose death. As we choose life, we grow in love for God, we listen to His voice, and we hold fast to Him; we become a reflection of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Sermon TextJohn 17:20-26I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.Cross-referencesDeuteronomy 6:4Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.Ephesians 4:1-6I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call—one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.John 7:39Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.Sermon NotesMain PointChristian unity is the love of the Trinity made visible.Point 1: Trinitarian in Its SourceThe Nature of God (Deuteronomy 6:4): Understanding the distinction between Being and Person.Being: Describes what you are.Person: Describes who you are.God is one Being in three Persons (One "what," three "whos").HANDS Acronym (Evidence for Deity/Trinity):H - HonorsA - AttributesN - NamesD - DeedsS - SeatPoint 2: Missional in Its PurposePoint 3: Bound by God's Glory

Today, we are celebrating GEMS Sunday. The GEMS theme this year comes from Deuteronomy 7:6-10, Walk on Water. Girls everywhere are battling the storm of life and are tossed and turned by waves of lies, doubt, and fear. Many girls are simply treading water, looking to culture, social media, or peers to determine their identity and define truth. In Deuteronomy 7:6-10, we discover God's faithful character and learn that God is always with us. God invites ordinary people to step out in faith to be part of his awesome plan

A Lamp, Not a MapLearning to Walk by the Light Yahovah Gives“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Psalm 119:105This is one of the most familiar verses in Scripture, yet its power is often lost through repetition. David was not offering a comforting slogan or poetic imagery detached from real life. He was describing how he survived seasons of darkness, confusion, and uncertainty, by learning to walk with the light God actually gives.What matters first is the image David chose.He does not say God's Word is the sun, a floodlight, or a map revealing the entire journey. He calls it a lamp. In the ancient world, a lamp illuminated only a small space ahead. It required closeness, constant attention, and enough oil to keep it burning. Most importantly, it was useful only while moving. A lamp was never meant for standing still.This tells us something vital about faith. God's Word is given for obedient movement, not passive observation. Scripture is not primarily about gathering information; it is about receiving direction. Faith, in the biblical sense, is meant to guide our steps, not merely inform our thoughts.David reinforces this by saying the lamp is for his feet before it is for his path. That order matters. He does not say God's Word illuminates his understanding first. He says it lights his feet. In other words, obedience comes before clarity. Throughout Scripture, God consistently gives light for the step we are willing to take, not the road we wish to see.“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD” (Psalm 37:23), but those steps still require movement. God does not provide light for tomorrow's road when today's step has not yet been taken. Revelation flows in the direction of obedience. When obedience stalls, light dims, not because God has withdrawn His Word, but because we have stopped walking in it.This truth becomes even more powerful when we consider David's context. He wrote these words not from comfort, but from caves, wilderness seasons, threats, betrayal, repentance, and waiting. He was a man familiar with darkness. Yet the Word did not remove that darkness. It made it walkable.God never promised a problem-free path. He promised faithful guidance through the path. The lamp did not eliminate danger; it made progress possible.From a Hebraic perspective, David's reference to “Your word” is not a general example, but davar of God is covenant instruction, rooted in the Torah, commandments, testimony, and revealed will. Scripture itself confirms this: “For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light” (Proverbs 6:23).This means divine guidance is not found in feelings alone, impressions alone, or spiritual intuition disconnected from God's revealed Word. Light is found within covenant boundaries. Many stumble not because God is silent, but because they have stepped off the path while still expecting illumination.There is also a hidden requirement in David's image that is easy to miss. A lamp without oil is useless. Oil in Scripture is consistently associated with the Spirit, faithfulness, and preparation. Yeshua echoed this truth when He said that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God (Deuteronomy 8:3).The lamp must be tended daily. Yesterday's revelation cannot sustain today's obedience. When Scripture is neglected, light diminishes, not suddenly, but gradually. What once seemed clear begins to feel uncertain.David's words ultimately point beyond himself. He speaks prophetically. Yeshua later declares, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness” (John 8:12). John confirms this revelation by writing, “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14).The written Word leads us to the Living Word. Scripture is not the destination; it is the

Today we start a new mini-series on the Mega Commandment. Jesus affirmed the greatest commands of all Scripture are to love God (Deuteronomy 6.4-5) and love your neighbor (Leviticus 19.18). What does that look like today? How do we faithfully walk this out as disciples of Jesus?

Our Affections For God Deuteronomy 6:5 5 You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. Romans 1:20 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. John 1:14 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. Colossians 1:15 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. John 6:44 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. Philippians 2:5-8 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Deuteronomy 30:6 6 And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring, so that you will love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live. Ezekiel 36:26 26 And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 1 John 4:15-21 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 17 By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. 19 We love because he first loved us. 20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother. 2 Thessalonians 3:5 5 May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ. Westminster Shorter Catachism Q1) What is the chief end (purpose) of man? A1) To glorify God and enjoy Him forever. Jonathan Edwards True affections for God are produced by the Holy Spirit.

Leaving the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) is a life-altering decision. For many, it's a painful process that leads to more questions than answers. Once the foundation of Mormonism crumbles, ex-members must decide where to go next. Some turn to biblical Christianity and find truth in the gospel of Jesus Christ, while others venture into different ideological or religious rabbit holes. The search for truth can take many forms, but not all paths lead to freedom and fulfillment in Christ.--The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls back the curtain on Mormon history, culture and doctrine.

After realizing that the LDS Church is not true, many begin to doubt all religious claims, including Christianity. The logical conclusion for some is agnosticism or atheism, believing that if Mormonism was a lie, perhaps all religions are man-made.This path is often fueled by bitterness or exhaustion from years of religious performance. Former Mormons may feel deceived and unwilling to trust any organized belief system again. Some even become vocal critics of Christianity, equating the Bible with the Book of Mormon and assuming both are unreliable. However, this approach overlooks key differences—unlike Mormonism, biblical Christianity is rooted in historical, archaeological, and theological truth (2 Timothy 3:16-17).2. Embracing a Godless LifestyleFor some, leaving Mormonism becomes an excuse to indulge in behaviors previously forbidden by the LDS Church. With no more Word of Wisdom restrictions, some turn to excessive drinking, drug use, or promiscuity as a way to reclaim their "freedom." The strict moral code of Mormonism can feel suffocating, and once those restraints are gone, the pendulum swings hard in the opposite direction.But this new form of “freedom” often leads to emptiness. Without a solid moral foundation, people may experience broken relationships, addiction, or deep dissatisfaction. The Bible warns that “there is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death” (Proverbs 14:12, NLT). True freedom is not found in abandoning all moral boundaries but in Christ, who offers abundant life (John 10:10).3. Turning to New Age SpiritualitySome ex-Mormons don't abandon spirituality but instead embrace mysticism, energy healing, or Eastern religious ideas. The structured theology of Mormonism can leave a void that alternative spiritualities attempt to fill. Many become drawn to meditation, astrology, or the idea of a “higher consciousness,” believing that they can still connect with the divine—just without the structure of Christianity.This path can be appealing because it rejects religious authority while still offering a sense of spirituality. However, it is a dangerous deception. The Bible warns against spiritual practices that lead people away from the true God (Deuteronomy 18:10-12). Instead of looking inward or seeking mystical experiences, former Mormons

Bishop Riggen continues a seven-part series on the Godhead by reviewing four principles from earlier weeks. He insists the Godhead is not a mystery but clearly understood through Scripture. Principle one: there is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4-5). Principle two: God the Father is a spirit, invisible and omnipresent, not a person (John 4:23-24). Principle three: the Son of God refers to the fleshly body born of Mary (Luke 1:35). Principle four: God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself (2 Corinthians 5:19), so the man Jesus had two natures — human and divine. He then addresses two common objections to oneness teaching. First, Stephen's vision in Acts 7:55: the preacher argues Stephen saw Jesus at the right hand of God, but "right hand" signifies power, not a second person; moreover, Stephen called on "Lord Jesus," acknowledging one God. Second, Jesus' cry from the cross, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" — Bishop Riggen shows this is a quotation of Psalm 22, which prophesies the crucifixion. He concludes that Psalm 22:24 proves God did not hide His face; Jesus was never forsaken. The sermon calls believers to understand and be ready to give an answer for the biblical truth that there is one God whose name is Jesus.

Bishop Riggen preaches from Matthew 16:13-19, emphasizing the need for divine revelation to truly know Jesus as the Christ. He expounds four foundational principles of the Godhead: there is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4-5); God the Father is a Spirit (John 4:23-24); the Son is the flesh (Luke 1:35); and God the Spirit was in Christ the flesh (2 Corinthians 5:19). These principles answer any question about the Godhead by recognizing the dual nature of Christ. He illustrates from Acts 2 and Joel 2 that Pentecost could not occur until Jehovah Elohim Himself walked in Israel, identifying Jesus as the Old Testament Jehovah. Using Exodus 15:2, Psalm 118:14, and Isaiah 12:2, he shows that 'the Lord has become my salvation'—the Hebrew word for salvation being Yeshua, or Jesus. He further cites Zechariah 12:10, where Jehovah says, 'they shall look upon me whom they have pierced,' proving the Creator was pierced. Finally, from Revelation 4:2 and Isaiah 6:1, he notes that both John and Isaiah saw only one throne with one person seated on it—not three. This refutes trinitarianism, which would require multiple thrones or 'musical chairs.' Bishop Riggen closes by urging the congregation to rejoice in knowing that there is one God whose name is Jesus, who filled the universe yet took on human form to bleed and die for humanity.

“I’ve got to declare an emergency. My pilot’s deceased.” Doug White nervously uttered those words to the control tower monitoring his flight. Minutes after takeoff, the pilot of the private plane Doug’s family had chartered suddenly passed away. Doug stepped into the cockpit with just three-month’s training in flying less sophisticated aircraft. He then carefully listened to controllers at a local airport who talked him through landing the plane. Later, Doug said, “[They] saved my family from an almost certain fiery death.” We have one who alone can help us navigate the challenges in life. Moses, speaking to the Israelites, said, “The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you . . . . You must listen to him” (Deuteronomy 18:15). This promise pointed to a succession of prophets God provided for His people, but it also spoke of the Messiah. Both Peter and Stephen would later state that this ultimate prophet was Jesus (Acts 3:22; 7:37). He alone came to tell us the loving and wise instructions of God (Deuteronomy 18:18). During Christ’s life, God the Father said, “This is my Son . . . . Listen to him!” (Mark 9:7). To live wisely and avoid crashing and burning in this life, let’s listen to Jesus as He speaks through the Scriptures and the Holy Spirit. Listening to Him makes all the difference.

Bishop Riggen continues a series on the Godhead, building on four scriptural principles. First, there is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4). Second, God the Father is a Spirit (John 4:24), not a person. Third, the Son is the flesh born of Mary (Luke 1:35). Fourth, God was in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:19), meaning the Spirit dwelt in the flesh. He clarifies that the Trinity doctrine—three separate co-equal persons—is not biblical. The word 'trinity' is absent from Scripture, and the Godhead is clearly seen and understood (Romans 1:20). He emphasizes that the Father is greater than the Son because Spirit is greater than flesh (John 14:28). Jesus identified Himself as the Father (John 14:8-9; Isaiah 9:6) and used the divine name 'I AM' (John 8:24, 58), which the Jews understood as a claim to deity. Colossians 2:9 shows that all the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Jesus bodily; He is not a second person. The Bishop illustrates God's love by arguing that in the Trinity view, the Father sends another to die, but the biblical truth is that God Himself came in flesh (1 Timothy 3:16). Revelation 13:8 reveals the Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world—the plan was always for God to take on a body with blood to redeem humanity. This makes Calvary a personal sacrifice of love, not a transaction between separate persons.

Bishop Riggen continues his series on the Godhead, grounding the message in Jesus' question to Peter: "Whom say ye that I am?" He emphasizes that a true understanding of who Jesus is requires divine revelation, not human teaching, and that the church is built on this revelation. He reviews two foundational principles: there is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4-5), and God the Father is a Spirit, not a person (John 4:23-24). The third principle, from Luke 1:35, is that the Son is the flesh born of Mary, conceived by the Holy Ghost. Bishop Riggen argues this proves the Father and the Holy Spirit are not separate persons but the same Spirit, distinguished by relationship and role. He refutes the idea of an eternal Son, citing John 3:16 and Hebrews 1:5 to show the Son had a beginning in time, and that the Son will ultimately be subject to God the Father, who will be all in all (1 Corinthians 15:24-28). The fourth principle, from 2 Corinthians 5:19, is that God was in Christ—Spirit dwelling in flesh. This explains Jesus' dual nature: as man, he grew weary and died; as God, he knew all things and walked on water. Bishop Riggen concludes that Jesus is both Father and Son, citing Isaiah 9:6, where the Son is called the Everlasting Father, and Isaiah 12:2, which declares that Jehovah has become our Yeshua (Jesus). The message calls for a revelation-led understanding of the one God who became flesh for our salvation.
