Observe

How does Deuteronomy 6:7 instruct parents to go about teaching their kids about the Lord?

Process

Deuteronomy 6:4-5 are known as the Hebrew Shema. Discuss what the phrase “with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength,” means. Are there other Scriptures that come to mind to give greater understanding?

  • According to Deuteronomy 6:24, why has the LORD commanded our obedience and reverence toward Him?

Respond

  • How is the reverence for God by the Israelites to be replicated by us for King Jesus? (See Philippians 2:9-11)
