PASTOR MARSHALL OCHS | JULY 19, 2026

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Deuteronomy 11. In this chapter, Moses reminds Israel that although God has chosen them, they must continually choose Him through obedient living—in their work, worship, homes, and everyday decisions. Looking back at God's faithfulness and the consequences of rebellion, Deuteronomy 11 presents a clear choice between blessing and curse, a theme that ultimately points forward to Jesus' call to choose the path that leads to life.
