When we fail to remember what God has done for us, we will be more inclined to turn to other gods—not necessarily in place of God, but in addition to God. But that is a road that leads to death. So, in this passage Moses reminds Israel and us that there is no other god than God, and because of that we must walk in his ways and keep his commandments.

Sermon Outline:
I. Examine the Historical Facts.
1. God’s revelation to Israel was unique.
2. God’s salvation of Israel was unique.
II. Contemplate the Theological Conclusions.
1. The LORD is God.
2. There is no other god.
III. Embrace the Ethical Implications.

Sermon Discussion Questions:
1. Idolatry is frequently a sin that we slip into rather than one we deliberately run into. Where in your life have you seen a proclivity toward idolatry, or allowing good things to become ultimate things?
2. What were the two main ways God revealed himself and his salvation to his people as recounted in Deuteronomy? What are the New Testament parallels described in the sermon? What theological conclusions do these events lead us to about our God?
3. In light of who God has revealed himself to be, how should we view his commands and respond to them?
4. The Shorter Catechism says, “God is a Spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable, in his being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth.” Reflect on this biblical truth and spend some time praising God in prayer or song for who he is.
