Texts: Deuteronomy 31 and 32 Luke 19 Deuteronomy:
The story of Moses is coming to a close. What do you think of the song that Moses sings to the people in chapter 32? What I noticed was the connection between being comfortable and serving false gods. God predicts that the people who are following God now, in the wilderness, will turn away once they grow fat from living in comfort. See any connections, 21st century America?
This picture is looking over the Promised Land from Mt. Nebo in modern day Jordan. The closest Moses got to the Promised Land.

Luke:
I love the Zacheus story, but I confess I'm never comfortable with the parable of the mean man and his money. Especially Luke's version of it.
And by the end of this chapter, we are entering Holy Week.
