- Intro Deuteronomy - General Introduction Moses teaches a redeemed people to remember mercy, love God, protect their neighbors, and choose the life fulfilled in Christ.
- 1 Deuteronomy 1 - From Horeb to Kadesh - The Wound of Unbelief Moses remembers the Lord who carried Israel, the refusal at Kadesh, and justice that listens impartially.
- 2 Deuteronomy 2 - Brothers, Boundaries, and the Fall of Sihon Israel learns to honor neighboring inheritances, receive provision, and hear the hard account of Sihon without claiming a Christian license for violence.
- 3 Deuteronomy 3 - Og, the Eastern Tribes, and the Prayer of Moses Moses remembers Og, calls the eastern tribes to serve their brothers, and entrusts the unfinished inheritance to Joshua.
- 4 Deuteronomy 4 - Take Heed to Yourself The near and holy God calls Israel to keep His word, refuse idols, return from exile, and preserve justice.
- 5 Deuteronomy 5 - The Covenant at Horeb and the Ten Words The covenant addresses living hearers with redeemed worship, shared rest, truthful conduct, and the faithful heart God desires.
- 6 Deuteronomy 6 - The Shema and the Love of God The one Lord asks for undivided love that shapes the home, receives abundance gratefully, and answers temptation through Christ.
- 7 Deuteronomy 7 - A Holy People and a Jealous Love God chooses by love and forms a holy people whose Christian struggle is against the passions, never against human neighbors.
- 8 Deuteronomy 8 - Remembering the Lord in the Land of Plenty Hunger, manna, the rock, and abundance teach dependence on Christ, truthful thanksgiving, and generosity.
- 9 Deuteronomy 9 - Not for Your Righteousness: The Calf and the Intercessor Moses strips away Israel's claim to merit and pleads for the guilty on the strength of God's redemption and promise.
- 10 Deuteronomy 10 - New Tablets and the Circumcised Heart The renewed tablets lead Israel toward wholehearted service, inward healing, and the love of the stranger whom God loves.
- 11 Deuteronomy 11 - Love, Obedience, Blessing, and Curse Rain, remembered deliverance, household teaching, and the mountains of blessing and curse summon Israel to a faithful life before God.
- 12 Deuteronomy 12 - The Place Where the Lord Chooses to Dwell The Lord places His name among His people and joins ordered worship to shared joy, care for the Levite, and reverence for life.
- 13 Deuteronomy 13 - False Prophets and the Testing of Love A convincing sign cannot authorize another god; fidelity is tested through public claims, intimate persuasion, and communal pressure.
- 14 Deuteronomy 14 - Holy Distinction, Tithes, and Mercy Belonging to God changes mourning, appetite, celebration, and giving, until the vulnerable can eat and be filled.
- 15 Deuteronomy 15 - Release, Generosity, and the Open Hand The Lord claims the year of release and heals the closed heart through debt remission, generous provision, and the memory of redemption.
- 16 Deuteronomy 16 - Feasts, Justice, and the Joy of Worship Passover, Weeks, and Tabernacles teach redeemed memory and shared joy, while righteous judgment protects the life that worship forms.
- 17 Deuteronomy 17 - Judgment, Kingship, and the Law Beside the Throne Witnesses, judges, and kings stand under the Lord, whose word protects truth and forbids power from lifting its heart above the brethren.
- 18 Deuteronomy 18 - Priests, Levites, and the Prophet Like Moses The Lord sustains His servants, turns Israel from forbidden guidance, and promises the Prophet whom the Father commands us to hear.
- 19 Deuteronomy 19 - Cities of Refuge and Truthful Witness Reachable refuge, protected boundaries, and diligent inquiry restrain vengeance and direct us toward truth joined to mercy.
- 20 Deuteronomy 20 - War, Fear, and Trust in the Lord Ancient Israel's war laws confront fear, acknowledge human limits, and restrict destruction; the Gospel calls Christians to peace and warfare against sin.
- 21 Deuteronomy 21 - Innocent Blood and the Hanged Man Unsolved bloodshed and hard household laws expose the claims of power; the burial command opens toward Christ's willing gift upon the Cross.
- 22 Deuteronomy 22 - Do Not Overlook: Compassion, Distinction, and Chastity The command not to overlook joins ordinary care, prevention of harm, truthful speech, bodily reverence, and protection of the violated.

- 24 Deuteronomy 24 - Hardness of Heart, Wages, and the Forgotten Sheaf Moses limits injury within marriage and daily transactions; Christ heals hardness of heart, and mercy reaches the worker, debtor, widow, and stranger.
- 25 Deuteronomy 25 - Justice, Levirate Mercy, and Amalek Remembered The judged remain brothers, labor must share in its fruit, households deserve faithful care, and honest measures oppose the cruelty remembered in Amalek.
- 26 Deuteronomy 26 - Firstfruits, Tithes, and Covenant Confession The basket of firstfruits becomes a confession of rescue, shared rejoicing, fulfilled mercy, and wholehearted belonging to God.
- 27 Deuteronomy 27 - The Stones, the Altar, and the People's Amen Israel writes the covenant plainly, rejoices before the altar, and answers for hidden injustice; the final curse opens toward redemption in Christ.
- 28 Deuteronomy 28 - Blessing, Curse, and the Life Hanging Before Your Eyes Covenant blessing and its terrible reversal expose the loss of grateful obedience; Athanasius hears in the hanging Life the saving Cross of Christ.
- 29 Deuteronomy 29 - Covenant in Moab and the Root of Bitterness All Israel stands before God in Moab; remembered rescue exposes presumption, hidden apostasy, and the need to obey what God has revealed.
