Deuteronomy 11

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.

Deuteronomy 11

REFLECT

  1. In what area of your life do you find it most difficult to consistently choose obedience to God, and why?

  2. How have you personally seen the benefits of trusting and obeying God, even when it was difficult?

  3. Moses reminded Israel to learn from both God's blessings and His discipline. What lessons has God taught you through past successes or failures?

  4. The message emphasized that obedience is an "every second" choice, not just a one-time decision. What daily habits could help you continually choose God?

  5. Is there an area where you've been tempted to "hedge your bets" by trusting something other than God for your security, success, or peace?

  6. How does your home reflect your commitment to following God? What is one practical way you could make God's Word a more visible part of your family's daily life?

  7. What does it look like for you to trust God in your work, responsibilities, or finances instead of relying only on your own abilities?

  8. Jesus also presented two choices—two roads, two gates, and two foundations. Which of these images speaks most to your life right now, and why?

  9. If the "future you" looked back five years from now, what choices would you hope you consistently made starting today?

  10. God has already chosen you to be His. What is one specific decision you can make this week that demonstrates you are choosing Him in return?
