Shema - Hear, O' Israel

For three and a half millennia the Jewish people have proclaimed these words evening and morning: "Hear O' Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One." It is a divine call of awakening to what Jesus called the "greatest commandment" - a call to love God with all of our being. This message examines the meaning of this passage (Deuteronomy 6:4-5) in light of its historical and cultural context, calling God's people today to the same love for the Lord as He Himself demonstrated for us at Calvary.
