The Shema (“Hear”) in Deuteronomy 6:4–9 is one of the most important declarations in all of Scripture. This passage calls Israel—and all believers—to love the Lord with all their heart, soul, and strength, and to keep His commands close in daily life.

In this teaching, we explore:

• The Hebrew meaning of “Shema”

• How the Shema shaped Israel’s worship and daily rhythms

• Why Jesus called it the greatest commandment (Matthew 22:36–40)

• Practical ways to live out the Shema today

Whether you are new to Scripture or a lifelong Bible student, this study will deepen your understanding of God’s call to wholehearted devotion.
