June 20, 2026 | #2625 - Loving God With Your Whole Heart: The Shema from Deut. 6 (Part 2 of 4)

Before the call to love God “with all your heart,” the well-known Shema begins with an instruction to “hear.” While this part of the Shema is easy to overlook, it sets the tone of God’s Word to the Israelites, as it invites them to know and follow Him truly, developing a heart of loving obedience. Part 2 of our series on Deuteronomy 6 examines God’s call to the Israelites to change their hearts and guide them into true devotion to Himself. Be encouraged this week to give the Lord your whole heart—your whole being—in loving submission under His sovereign hand!
