Class: Deuteronomy

Week #15: January 9-13
Professor: Pastor Steve Hobbs


Assignments: Read through the Book of Deuteronomy twice during the week; the section on the book of Deuteronomy must be read from the Bible Survey textbook; and the notes from the previous day must be read before the beginning of the next day.

Pastor Steve Hobbs received his BS from Liberty University and an MDiv from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary. Pastor Hobbs later served as the Dean of Men and on the teaching faculty at the Word of Life Bible Institute in Schroon Lake, NY. He is currently the pastor at Vincent Baptist Church in Pennsylvania.

At first, Deuteronomy does not seem to be to appealing. A book about laws, regulations and tradition is usually not the first choice for a little casual reading. Deuteronomy was written by Moses, at the end of the forty years of wandering the nation of Israel had before entering the land of Canaan. The entire book is a written account of Moses' sermons to his people to encourage them before they entered the promised land. God gave Moses the words and laws to give to the people. Because of the laws and the specific stipulations about how to live, Deuteronomy has become a book in the Bible avoided by most people simply because they do not understand it. However, upon careful study, one will discover that Deuteronomy is filled with powerful, life-changing principles for the believer today. In this class specifically, Pastor Hobbs does an amazing job of bringing out the application from the text and the importance of knowing the principles for Christian living.


"We covered a lot in the Deuteronomy class that challenged me to really think about how the Old Testament and New Testament tie in together and how much we can learn from the ways of the Old Testament."

"He was a very innovative, creative speaker. He helped me look at Deuteronomy in a whole new way. He explained the book in a way that's interesting and applicable to today's society for fellow believers."
- Tyler, Waterloo

"... I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he."
- Deuteronomy 32:3-4
