The preacher's last sermon

The Book of Deuteronomy is the written record of the last sermon of Moses to the congregation of Israel. Preacher and people stood at a crossroads and both were heading in different directions. Moses knew he would never again address the children of Israel. His parting message was both solemn and heart-searching. It contained the following characteristics:

1: He recalled the way God had led them.
2: He reasserted the word God had spoken.
3: He recorded the warning for the future.
4: He reminded them of the work they must fulfil.
5: He reassured them for the warfare that lay ahead.
