Open Our Bibles Together with MFahring is officially back from a holiday break with another episode release! \ud83c\udf89 It\u2019s been a little while \u2014 since the end of November, actually \u2014 that we\u2019ve been walking through Deuteronomy together, so we start today with a quick refresher on where we\u2019ve been before diving into chapters 14\u201316.  In this episode, we explore how God calls His people to live as His treasured possession. We unpack the dietary laws, tithing, and also the three pilgrim festivals to see how each one was designed to remind Israel of God\u2019s faithfulness and His presence among them.  Just as we saw in our recent Advent God With Us series, God\u2019s presence is at the center of the story \u2014 in the wilderness, in the Promised Land, and ultimately fulfilled in Jesus, Emmanuel. These chapters show that God\u2019s presence shapes identity, community, and daily life \u2014 and that truth is still true for us today.  Join us as we kick off the new year with this new episode, reflecting on God\u2019s tender care in His instructions, celebrating His faithfulness, and remembering that He is always with us. \u2728  Gosh, I can\u2019t wait for you to listen in to this one! \u2764  For the full episode show notes, please go to https:\/\/mfahring.com\/deuteronomy-14-16\/ ","author_name":"Open Our Bibles Together with MFahring","author_url":"https:\/\/mfahring.com\/show-notes\/","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/39761265\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/39761265"}
