Apologies to Ian but I don't think that anyone really wants to read one of my 12 page sermons (large print of course). However I will put him out of his misery:
It was based on Moses' farewell speeches to the Israelites before they crossed into the Promised Land. It centred on God's promises of the riches that would be poured out onto the people if they kept to the covenant to follow His laws. It also highlighted that not following His covenant would result in the exact opposite happening to them. Moses even warned them that they'd be taken into exile.
From this we know that God, and Moses, already knew that, on past performance, the scheme would of course end in failure. This helps to show the later action of God having to intervene in the sacrifice of Jesus.
That seems to scale things down from 30 minutes to a few lines. I'm sure my dad would have prefered this version ;-)
