Directions, when we are in that season, we have come out of our slavery to sin.

We have been rescued by the power of the cross.

And now God is like, he's teaching us to walk.

He's teaching us to walk away from Egypt and to walk toward a place of our abounding.

And often in that particular part, what's most important is that we just keep

walking. Keep walking.

Here we are. Now, I hope so much it does not hide the fact that we're going to be talking about the land of... The land of... Go ahead and go with me to Exodus 3 because he says it I'm talking about the Lord from the

very beginning when he comes to Moses tells him his name and tells him what he is going to have him

do for the children of Israel and it says in 3-88, this is God talking to Moses, and I've come

down to rescue them from the power of the Egyptians, and to bring them from that land to a good

and spacious land, a land flowing with, tell me again, a land flowing with milk and honey, 20 different times in the Old Testament. Canaan, the

promised land, is described as a land flowing, not just possessing, a land flowing with milk and honey.

And that's going to mean more and more to us as the day goes on.

I want you to hear with me now two different portions in Deuteronomy.

So you're close to it.

Go with me to Deuteronomy 8.

And then it's going to be Deuteronomy 28.

Now listen, because we're making, this is imagery. We're building this metaphor,

this type of, our concept is that we're looking at the Old Testament Israelites. We're looking

at the positive side of things we want to imitate by their faith and their patience. But we're

also looking at what they fell into that we don't want to fall into.

There were examples to us so that we would know that we did not want to take on that kind of sin.
