Deuteronomy Part 3: The Curse We Deserve, The Blessing We Don’t

Are we living under blessing or curse? That’s the big question in this message from Deuteronomy 28. It shows us that we’re all going to be “overtaken” by something—either blessings or curses—but it doesn’t come down to just how well we perform. It’s really about our relationship with God.

Sometimes, we get so focused on chasing after blessings that we forget about the One who gives them. When that happens, our faith can start to feel dry and routine, like we’re just going through the motions. But here’s the good news: Jesus took on the curse for us, so we don’t have to try and earn God’s favor by following a bunch of rules.

Because of what Jesus did, we get to step into the same blessing that was promised to Abraham—just by trusting Him. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about knowing we’ve got a loving Father who wants a real relationship with us. When we put God first, instead of just chasing after what He can give us, His blessings overflow into every part of our lives.
