2014--A Year Of Remembrance; Preaching Schedule

For West Loop UBF, we chose a theme each year over the last few years:

• 2010 was a year of the gospel--the matters of first importance (1 Cor 15:1-4).
  
• 2011 was a year of grace (Acts 20:24)--the primary experience of the gospel.
• 2012 was a year of sanctification (Phil 2:12-13)--the scary/painful part of the gospel.
• 2013 was a year of considering the whole counsel of God (Acts 20:27, ESV) or the whole will of God (NIV), or the whole plan of God (HCSB), or the whole purpose of God (NASB). This prompted me to study and preach through Revelation, the last book I wanted to study.
  
• For 2013, it may be a year of remembrance (Dt 5:15; 15:15), as I prepare to preach through Deuteronomy.

Preliminary schedule with the title of each sermon, the text and a short summation.

• Jan 12: Lesson 1 - Sin (Dt 1:1-46) (Read Dt 1:25-40). Sin brings God's severity.
  

• Jan 19: Lesson 2: Leadership (Dt 1:9-18) (Read Dt 1:9-18). Delegation and justice.
  

• Jan 26: Lesson 3: Faith (Dt 2:1-3:29) (Read Dt 3:21-29). Faith leads to obedience.

• Feb 2: Lesson 4 - Obedience (Dt 4:1-14) (Read Dt 4:1-8). Hear. Listen carefully.

• Feb 9: Lesson 5 - Idolatry (Dt 4:15-31) (Read Dt 4:15-24). A consuming fire, a jealous God.

• Feb 16: Lesson 6 - Exclusivity (Dt 4:32-49) (Read Dt 4:32-40). God alone is God.

• Feb 23: Lesson 7 - Law (Dt 5:1-33) (Read Dt 5:1-22). Grace always precedes the Law.

• To be determined: Lesson 8 - Love (Dt 6:1-25) (Read Dt 6:1-18). Exclusive love.
