Teaching Pastor John sees the beginning of the new year as an opportunity to renew or commitment to Christian discipleship. He turns to an important passage in the Hebrew text to teach us the nature of a devoted disciple of the one true God. This is part 2 of his series titled “Words of Wisdom”
Our Bible text for Today’s Message is from Deuteronomy 6:4-9
The Shema and Discipleship
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[a] 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
