If you wanted to find out what happened in Deuteronomy, you’d read Chapter Thirty. It’s the last chapter Moses wrote. Chapters Thirty-one through Thirty-four are the appendices – added after Moses died. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Moses might be at the point in Deuteronomy where the audience could shout out, “So what?!” Moses was done reciting the Law of God; so what should the response be? (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

I can see the children of Israel wanting to ask, “are we there yet?” but Moses just kept talking! They were almost to the Promised Land – but the restating of God’s Law continued. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Lots of odd things happen when people live together in a society. Laws are made, to promote the public welfare. The next three chapters of Deuteronomy cover various laws, in no particular order. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

The Jews were headed into city life, out of the wilderness. As in all cities, there would be criminals and crime; so they needed laws to govern them. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Sometimes I say that we’re the fun Church, or I use the word ‘fun’ to describe what we’re doing. I mean Christian joy that is just flat fun! (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Christians are great at looking at the customs of the world, then redeeming them to reveal what we really believe. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

We build our services upon a simple model: Worship of God and the Word of God. Everything is subordinate to these two objectives. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

The peril of prosperity is that we tend to forget the Lord. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)
