In Matthew 22:36 a scribe of the Pharisees comes to Jesus and asks, "Teacher, which is the great commandment of the law?". Jesus doesn't go to Exodus, to the Ten Commandments, Jesus quotes from Deuteronomy. Deuteronomy is Moses sharing at the end of his life a lifetimes worth of meditation on the law of God and the way that God has lead His people Israel. It's that that we'll look at and unpack as we consider what is the great commandment, what makes it so great, and how do we respond.
In this 10 session course you'll get bible teaching videos with journalling assignments to really engage with God and His heart as it's revealed through the great commandment. The course is self paced, so you decide how long it takes to complete.
