This 8/4/19 sermon by Elder Mike Gowens, based on Deuteronomy 6:4-9, is number four in the "Knowing God" study. The shema, expressed in verse 4, is the bedrock of revealed religion. Though the truth that "God is one" appears rudimentary, it is, in fact, a profound affirmation. As Gowens explains, the shema and its contextual passage includes at least three important truths about God: 1) The Uniqueness, or exclusivity, of God; 2) The Unity, or simplicity, of God; and 3) The Personality, or relational nature, of God.
