Deuteronomy 1:1–8 ESV These are the words that Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah opposite Suph, between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab. It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea. In the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses spoke to the people of Israel according to all that the Lord had given him in commandment to them, after he had defeated Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth and in Edrei. Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses undertook to explain this law, saying, “The Lord our God said to us in Horeb, ‘You have stayed long enough at this mountain. Turn and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites and to all their neighbors in the Arabah, in the hill country and in the lowland and in the Negeb and by the seacoast, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates. See, I have set the land before you. Go in and take possession of the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their offspring after them.’SermonIntroBasic PrinciplesGodly LivingGood BehaviourSocial RelationshipsCareful applicationGod has not changedChrist Fulfilled the Old Testament & LawIsrael38 years in the wildernessCamped in the plains of MoabCaptured the region of Gilead (east side of the Northern Dead Sea & JordonGiven to Reuben & Gad (Tribe of Manasseh)The time had come to cross the Jordon and into Canaan and begin the conquest of the promised landDeuteronomy consists of mainly two sermons given by Moses on the plains of MoabThe first: Chapters 1-4The Second: Chapters 5-28Chapters 29-33 are closely linked to the prior sermonsAnd chater 34 records the death of MosesUnlike the previous occasion they stood on the edge of Canaan (Number 13-14)he sets before them the law with instructions for living in the landpromising blessing for obedience but warning against disobedienceDeuteronomy means “Second Law”Moses repeats the Ten Commandment to a new generationIt is the key book of the Old TestamentSets out the covenant relationship between the Lord and IsraelThis relationship is based on Love of the Lord who chose Israel to be his own tresured possession.At the heart of the response that Israel is to be make, is love for the LordA love which is to express itself in keeping his commands and holding fast to HimIn doing to Israel will be a witness to the nations of greatness and goodnes of the Lord, showing his commands are wise and rightThe rebukes of the Prophets and their calls to repentance were based on Israel’s depature from the ways of God as revealed in DeuteronomyMosesHad an amazing ministry yet because he acted without careful consideration he, like Israel, spent 40 years in the desert before he was called to lead the nation out of Egypt.Then twowards the end he publically dishonoured the Lord before the people (Numbers 20:8–13) and so was not permitted to enter the Promised Land“Waters of Meribah”Israel had been moaning about waterGod told moses to take the staff and tell the rock to yield its waterMoses struck the rock twice with his staffHis deep sorrow is the sub-plot of DeuteronomyLeviticus primarily provides the regulations concerning priesthood and scrificesDeuteronomy with the Ten Commandments at its heart set out the laws and instructions for Israel to live as God’s peopleDeuteronomy: An Expositional Commentary IntroductionMerrill says, ‘There can be no doubt that the prophets, Jesus, and the apostles concurred with the witness of Deuteronomy about its authorship.’
Moses primarily wrote the book, but in a few places small additions have been made under the guidance of the Holy SpiritNamely the account of Moses’ death in the last chapterDeuteronomy:Is part of God’s WordIs written for all time and though addresses to Israel is for God’s PeopleIts emphasis is on:The Grace of GodThe Covenant Relationship between God and His PeopleLove for God as the true response to that Grace.... it is always up to date and relevantIt speaks of the brotherhood of God’s PeopleThe Laws that God has givenThe Joy of Worship… and It has timely truths for the church todayLocationDeuteronomy 1:1 ESV These are the words that Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah opposite Suph, between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab.The verse carelly locates the people of Israel...Numbers 36:13 ESV These are the commandments and the rules that the Lord commanded through Moses to the people of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.This is the point that God has brought them back to the border of the Land of Canaan.This was the place of opportunity, of promise and of decision.There are occasions in life like thatTurning points that need to be faced with faith and wisdomEvery day we are faced with decisions that, though small in themselves, actually mould character and shape out lives#1 Psyciatrist rule - write a list of what you want to be like how your want your life shaped and check every day whether your behaviour fulfils that objectiveDeuteronomy 1:2 ESV It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea.Israel remain here for many days before setting off on their long years of wandering11 days turned into 28 years because of Israel’s disobedienceHow much of life can be wasted when God is disobeyed!Deuteronomy 1:5 ESV Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses undertook to explain this law, saying,The Children of Israel are located east of Jordon in the land of MoabMoses brings his word, described as the Law (Torah)Deuteronomy 1:6–8 ESV “The Lord our God said to us in Horeb, ‘You have stayed long enough at this mountain.

See, I have set the land before you.
