“For I resolved to know

nothing

while I was with you

except Jesus Christ and him crucified.”

First Corinthians 2:2

“THE LORD WILL ESTABLISH YOU AS HIS HOLY PEOPLE,

Deuteronomy 28:9-14

as he promised you on oath,

**********************

Intr.:

If you

— keep the commands of the Lord your God and

— walk in his ways.

(If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, …)

________________________________________

A. THEN ALL THE PEOPLES ON EARTH

1. will see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they

2. will fear you.

B. THE LORD WILL GRANT YOU ABUNDANT PROSPERITY –

1. in the fruit of your womb,

2. the young of your livestock and

3. the crops of your grounds –

in the  land he swore to your forefathers to give you.

C. THE LORD WILL OPEN THE HEAVENS,

THE STOREHOUSE OF HIS BOUNTY,

1. to send rain on your land in season and

2.  to bless all the work of your  hands.

3. You will lend to many nations  but will borrow from none.

D. THE LORD WILL MAKE YOU THE HEAD, not the tail. (…you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.)

End:

Do not turn aside from any of the commands  I give you today,

— to the right or

–to the left,

following other gods and serving them.”
