info_outlineThe Lord takes His covenants with profound seriousness. He expects us to as well. Deuteronomy 29 is another clear example of the kind of heart devotion that goes into our walk with God. Join us!
DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS:
1. We’ve been looking at Deuteronomy 27 & 28 which prepared the people to re-covenant with the Lord. Now they’re getting ready. Who is this passage addressed to? What is the setting? How do you think these two factors (the audience & setting) would have shaped how the people would have received this exhortation?
2. In your own words, summarize the point of verse 4. Why is this important to understand about the spiritual condition of these recipients? Who had to be the one to give them a heart to know, eyes to see and ears to hear? Later in the Gospels, why did Jesus make similar statements about the people He was addressing?
3. In verse 10-12, the various members of society (from leaders to children to non-Jews) were called to covenant with the Lord. Is this surprising, considering that their parents already covenanted with the Lord in Exodus 24? What is the underlying principle regarding the necessity of each person to individually enter into a covenant with the Lord?
4. The podcast looked over to Deuteronomy 30:19-20 to spell out the people’s side of the covenant. What was instructed in those verses? How does Deuteronomy 13:4 express the idea of holding fast to the Lord? What principles can we glean for our lives today?
5. Back in our chapter in Deuteronomy 29, verse 18 admonishes them about not having a heart that turns away from the Lord. Why do you think this was necessary to mention? Why is having “a heart that turns away” such a challenge? What are ways that people turn to “other gods” even today?
