In this episode of The Village Church's sermon series on the Shema, pastoral intern Daniel McConnell takes up the final section, centering on Deuteronomy 6:6-9. With thoughtful insight, he explores practical ways for us to immerse ourselves in God’s word. McConnell reminds us that while this journey demands our effort, Scripture—particularly in the words of the prophet Jeremiah and the Letter to the Hebrews—makes it plain that it is God’s Spirit, not our striving, that writes the law on our hearts. This is a promise, not a task, though it invites us into active engagement.

The Village Church’s sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God’s work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God’s kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose.
Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.
