- In Deuteronomy 9:4–6, Moses reminds Israel that they are receiving the land because of God’s faithfulness, not their righteousness. How does remembering God’s mercy change the way we view ourselves and people outside our faith?
- Moses intercedes for Israel after they worship the golden calf, and Romans 8:34 tells us that Jesus intercedes for us. What does this reveal about God’s commitment to his people, and how might it shape our prayers when we or others fail?
- In Deuteronomy 10:12–16, Moses connects loving and obeying God with a changed heart. Where do you see a gap between your outward religious practices and your inward attitude, and what would it look like to surrender that area to God?
- Deuteronomy 10:17–19 describes the mighty God caring for the fatherless, the widow, and the sojourner. Why does Moses connect God’s greatness with his care for vulnerable people, and what should that teach us about our priorities as a church?
- God commanded Israel to love the sojourner in practical ways that cost them something. Who are you tempted to see as threatening, undeserving, or too costly to love, and what concrete step could you take this week to show them the grace you have received?
