Title: What To Do When Your World Turns Upside Down!
Author: Jerry Watts
Text: Deuteronomy 32:1-14
Turn to Deuteronomy 32. We are taking a break from our study, to talk about our world. Our world has a habit of turning on its head. (TITLE)
Everyone on the globe knows about Oct 7 and the vicious, brutal, barbaric, attacks on Israel by the Hamas. This reminds us that our world is filled with unspeakable evil.

At his advanced age, everyone (including him) knew His death was imminent. He was 120 (or so) years old and had led them for 40 years (or so). In fact, there were few, if any, Senior Adults left because, at this time, all the previous generation had died. Moses was the only pastor/leader this generation had known. The Bible doesn't say it, but perhaps they named him 'pastor or leader emeritus' (whatever that means).
What Moses did for Joshua and the people is give them a message that would help them when he was gone. It began, in chapter 31, with a warning about what they would be temp ...
