Obedience is not about love, it’s about to it. Deuteronomy 7:11 God’s covenant provides in uncertainty. Deuteronomy 7:13-15 Obedience positions us to receive the of God. Deuteronomy 7:13-15 Questions for Further Reflection & Discussion Can you think of a time when God asked you to “take out the trash” (do something hard or uncomfortable)? How did you respond, and what did it teach you about your relationship with Him? What fears or uncertainties are you currently facing that feel like “disease” in your spirit or mind? How does God’s covenant of peace speak to those areas? Read Deuteronomy 7:11-15 and review the sermon outline. What stood out or connected with you most from the reading and message? Are there areas of your life where you are trying to control instead of trusting in God’s covenant? What would it look like to surrender those areas? When things are hard, do you tend to withdraw from God or run toward Him? Why? Think about a time when you experienced peace in the middle of chaos. How do you recognize that as part of God’s covenant with you? How can your life reflect the blessings of the Kingdom of Heaven, even in a broken world? What does it mean to you that obedience is a response to love, not a way to earn it?
