Deuteronomy – Teach Them Jesus

Seeing God's WorldGod’s Design for FamilyDeuteronomy 6:4-9; Ephesians 6:1-4; Psalm 68:5-6Before Israel entered the Promised Land, Moses told parents to love God with all their hearts and to talk about His words at home all day long. Later Paul wrote to children, "Obey your parents in the Lord." God designed the family, and families grow strong when they build on His Word.Old TestamentObedience

The Gates of JerusalemThe Gates of Jerusalem: The Horse GateNehemiah 3:28; Psalm 20:7; Zechariah 9:9-10; Matthew 21:1-9; Deuteronomy 17:16The Horse Gate was near the king's palace, where war horses went in and out. The priests fixed the wall above it, each one in front of his own house. In Bible times, horses and chariots were the strongest weapons on earth. But David wrote, "Some trust in chariots, and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God." Long after, Jesus, the true King, rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, not a war horse, just as God promised. We don't trust our own strength. We trust God.Old TestamentTrust
