March 7, 2021, Deuteronomy 18:15-22 Post 2

You can find this week’s Scripture at –

IV.
After telling the people who they should avoid, Moses promises the people they are not left without hope. They will have prophets to listen to and to follow.

Keep in mind that while we tend to think of a prophet as one who tells us what will happen in the future, in the Hebrew Scripture the prophet is one who first of all speaks for God and speaks to the people God’s word.

The set of Scripture passages we start this week (and continue with till the end of May) will all look to those identified as prophets in the Hebrew Scriptures.

We start this series looking at Moses and his promise that other prophets will come after him.

V.
Take some time to jump from Moses’ address to the people and think about who might be the prophets who have crossed your path.

Why would you identify them as prophet(s) like Moses?

How have they helped you in your life of faith?
