We continue our Feast Talk series, Dear Prodigals, our study of the Book of Deuteronomy.
We are now in Talk 6 and the key message is God sides with the little ones.
God stands by the underdog. Which is a disturbing message if you’re the top dog. But if you’re the little guy, the misfit, the outcast, God tells you, “I’m on your side.”
Today, we’ll be walking through Deuteronomy 19-26, a large section full of laws. In Jesus’ mind, the laws we read in Deuteronomy have one goal: to side with the little ones. To love the last, the least, and the lost. To help the weak, protect the vulnerable, and defend the innocent.
In a very powerful way, Deuteronomy reveals to us God’s innermost heart. In every law, we’ll hear the heartbeat of the God of the universe—that He stands by the underdog.
