Review & Intro: Before the new generation crosses the Jordan into areas of new conquest, Moses reviews for them the victories they have already witnessed, such as the utter defeat of Sihon, king of the Amorites we saw in Chapter 2 of Deuteronomy. They have gone from "wanderers" in the wilderness to "warriors", becoming well known to the enemies around them. In Chapter 3, they will do the same thing to the kingdom of Og in Bashan and all of his cities and people. When you think upon the timeline of your own life, you see the times of victory and the times of defeat. Where are you at currently .. having victory or defeat? ...

(vs.21) This was to encourage him as he lead the troops to conquer the lands of Canaan on the other side of the Jordan.

20. What interesting thing happened there? Comment on the verse below:

Deuteronomy 34:5-8

Application:

19. Moses begged the Lord to change His mind about not allowing him to enter the promised land. The Lord told him to stop asking; He was not going to change His mind. He did allow Moses to see the land from Mt. Pisgah before he died. Let's look at two other instances of men asking the Lord to change His mind and how they submitted to God's will above their own. Comment on the following verses:

Jesus - Garden of Gethsemane - Matthew 26:36-46 -
Paul - Thorn in his flesh - 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 -

20. Have you ever begged the Lord to change His mind concerning something that you have had to endure? Do you remember when you finally stopped asking because you could rest in His will for you above your own? Share your experience with us if you don't mind?

21. The heart of Moses is revealed as he passes the paton over to his servant Joshua. He will encourage him and strengthen him. Our own failures and sad disappointments can be a platform of ministry to help others and to strengthen them as we have learned from our own mistakes and want to help them avoid the pitfalls. Do you have some examples from your own life?

22. Read and comment on the verse below:

2 Corinthians 1:3-5 -
Luke 22:31,32 -

23. What causes us to be "more than conquerors" in the Lord Jesus Christ? Comment on these verses; what is the ingredient that causes us to be "warriors" in Him?

Romans 8:31-39 -

24. Summarize the lesson and post a prayer if you would like.

Deuteronomy 6

Review & Intro: After reminding the Israelites about the 10 commandments they heard the Lord give to Moses on the mountain from the midst of the fire in Chapter 5, Moses explains to them now in Chapter 6, the motive of the heart in obeying the Lord's commands. We are to love the Lord with all of our heart, soul, and strength, and teach our children to do so as well.

1 John 2:23 -
Who seods not beliveon Jesus soes not belive in God they are one. You can't believe in one and not theother.

5. In what ways are we to love the Lord our God? vs. 5 - Name 3 areas

With all our hearts souls and minds.

6. What did Jesus say was the greatest commandment of all? Comment on the verses below:

Matthew 22:36-40 -Jesus said to him" You shall love the Lord your God with all you heart ans with all your soul and with all your mind.

7. What does this look like in our lives? How do we love the Lord with all our heart, our souls, our mind, our strength? Share your thoughts.

We can pray for each other and lefted each other up If we see a fellow christaon in trouble or having a hard time with a burden we are to sahrer that burden with them . If it was a family member we would do it in a heart beat but some times we need to step out side ou cofor box and put out a hel;ing hand to even those we don't know .

8. Back to Deuteronomy 6. ... The Lord said through Moses that these commands were to be on their "heart". (vs.6) ... They were to teach them diligently to their sons. When were they to teach them? vs.7 - Name 4 situations daily given

sitting in your homes. when your are walking by the way . when you lay down. and we rise.
If we want to teach our kids about God and His love then we have to show themGos in everything we do each and everyday. God is everywere and that is what we need to teach our kids. He is not just in church on sunday morings but he goes with us were ever we go. so we may want to rember that where we go God goes with us . That is a lot to think about .

9. What does it mean to have them "on your heart"? It ties back to "loving the Lord" with all of our heart, soul, strength, and mind. It is a matter of the heart. Love is the motivating factor. What did Jesus say in regard to His commandments? Comment on the verses below:

John 14:15 -
We will keep God's laws if we love him
John 14:21 -
We keep the commandments to show our love to God. Love is a commitment not just words. We need to put actoin with those words.
John 15:10 -
1 John 5:2 -
1 John 5:3 -
2 John 1:6 -

10. Back to Deuteronomy 6. ... (vs.8,9) ...The Lord told Moses to tell them to bind His commands to their hands, their frontals, and on the doorposts of their house and on their gates. Although we have His commands on our hearts and in our hearts, it is good to have visual reminders when the day gets busy or our lives get hectic. Do you have visual reminders to draw you back to His Word and prayer? Share if you would like; give the others ideas to think upon.

11. It would come about that the Lord would bring them into the promised land. They would be given great and splendid cities which they did not build ... houses full of good things which they did not fill ... hewn cisterns they did not dig ... vineyards and olive trees they did not plant ... They would eat and be satisfied. (vs.10,11) What danger would they face as they became satisfied and had it so good? vs. 12

12. Moses tells them again that they Lord commands that they fear only Him and worship only Him. They are not to follow other gods; any of the gods of the peoples who surround them. (vs.13,14) ... What would the anger and jealousy of the Lord do to them if they were to worship other gods? vs. 15

15. When their sons asked them in later times the reason why they kept the testimonies, statutes, and judgments that the Lord had given them, what were they to tell their sons? vs. 20-25

16. Again, why did the Lord give them the commandments and statutes to observe and follow? vs.24-25 - Name 5 things

Application:

17. The chapter has covered more than "keeping" God's commandments. It has focused on the issue of His commandments being on "our heart". We have seen that it is most important what our "motive" is for obeying the Lord, and the only motive should be because we "love" Him. Let's examine our hearts and think about why we read the Bible in this group and why we do other things with Christians, church, etc. Is it because we love Him - with all our hearts, minds, soul, and strength? Examine your "motives" and ask the Lord to show you His love for you and your love for Him. Renew your love commitment today. Here are some verses to meditate on:

Psalm 119:11 -
1 Peter 1:6-9 -
1 John 4:16 -
1 John 5:3 -

18. Summarize the lesson and post a prayer if you would like.

Deuteromomy 5

Review & Intro: In Deuteronomy Chapter 4, we looked at how the Lord longed for them to follow His commandments, but knew in advance that they would follow after other gods and cause Him to discipline them, scattering them away from the land He would give to them. Yet, He reassured them that they would seek Him when they became distressed and they would find Him when they sought Him with their heart. Now, Moses will review the 10 commandments with them, and express to them again how the Lord gave him all the statutes, judgments, and ordinances for them to follow in order to have the Lord's blessings upon them. God's law is the standard. He must lay it out for them to know right from wrong and to know how He cares enough to set boundaries up for them.

Deuteronomy Chapter 5 - Observation Questions

1. Moses summoned all of Israel to hear the statutes and ordinances he was speaking to them that they may learn them and observe them carefully. (vs.1) ... He reminded them that the Lord made a covenant with them at Horeb that He had not made with their fathers. (vs.2) ... The Lord spoke to them from the fire on the mountain. (vs.3,4) ... Who stood between them and the Lord because of their fear? vs. 5-Moses

2. What did Moses declare to them? vs. 5-God's word

3. The Lord told them, "I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery" (vs.6) ... and then He gave the 10 commandments. List them below. (vs.7-21)

1111.)Yous shall have no other gods before you.

2.)

You will not make any graving imges
3) You will not take the lord's name in vain.
4)Observe the Saveath and keep it holy
5)Honor thy father and mother
6)Do not muder
7)do not steal
8) do not bear false wittnes against your neibor
9)do not commit adultery
10)do not covet your neightbors wife and shall not desire your neighbors house.

4. How does the Lord describe Himself? vs. 9 He is a jealous God

5. Are you blessed that God is 'jealous' for you? Share if you would like.

6. We know that as believers we are part of the generations that have loved the Lord. For those who have hated Him, are the children doomed to have a generational curse upon them for their father's sin? The good news is that although some addictions and behaviors are certainly harder to break when a parent has done certain things, each person is accountable to God for their own sin; not that of his or her parents. Comment on the following verses:

Deuteronomy 24:16

God wants us to know Him for real not jut what others tell us about Him He wants a real relationship with each of us one on one.
Ezekiel 18 - entire chapter

So, everytime a person is born again and comes into the kingdom of God, we have a new Father and a new family. We become a new creation! Amen.

7. For those who take the Lord's Name in vain, what will surely happen to them? vs. 11

God will not hold them guiltless

Note: What do you think it means to take His Name in vain? Do you think it is when we use God's name as a curse to another? That would be one way, but think about the meaning of the word "vain". It means "emptiness, vanity, falsehood, lying, worthlessness" ...So it could mean that we apply God's Name to things He has not said that turn out to not be true and we hurt His Name and Character for doing so. It could be not giving the correct estimate of Who He is to others when we complain and murmer. It is far more than just using it as a curse word. Personally, I never speak for God, other than to take the people to His Word and let the Word speak for Himself. Amen.

8. What promise came to Israel if they would honor their fathers and their mothers? vs. 16

Their lives would be prolonged.

9. These were the words that the Lord spoke to the assembly from the midst of the fire on the mountain. He did not add anything else. What else did He personally do for them? vs. 22

added.

10. The people came near to Moses through the heads of their tribes and elders (vs.23) ... What had the people experienced for themselves? vs. 24 - Name 4 things

His greatness, his glory and HIs voice

11. The people were afraid to continue to hear the voice of the Lord for fear of their lives. (vs.25,26) ...

obedtian heart so the woud keep his commandments

They asked that Moses hear and then tell them what God spoke to him. They said they would hear and do it. (vs.27) ... The Lord said that had done well in all they had spoken concerning that. (vs. 28) ... What kind of heart did the Lord desire that they would have and why? vs. 29 -

12. After the people went back to their tents, the Lord spoke directly to Moses all the commandments, statutes, and judgments he was to teach the people so that they would observe them in the land they were going to be given as a possession. (vs.31) ... If they would not turn to the right or the left, but stay focused on God's will, what would He do for them? vs. 32,33 -That you may live and be well and prolong your life.

Application:

13. One of the key verses is when the Lord speaks His heart in saying in verse 29 - "Oh, that they had such a heart in them, that they would fear Me and keep My commandments" - We can sense that He knows they cannot keep His Word. He knew that one day, with the coming of the Holy Spirit, man would finally be able to have that kind of heart within them. Take time to comment on the following verses of the Promise of the Spirit coming, and the things we have today because we have believed in the death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus the Christ, and He has given the Holy Spirit to us! Amen.

Isaiah 44:3 -
Ezekiel 11:19 -
Ezekiel 26:26 -
Ezekiel 26:27 -
John 3:5 -
John 7:39 -

Deuteronomy 2

Deuteronomy Worksheet ~ Deuteronomy 2

Oct 6, '12 3:28 PM
by Doggie for everyone

Review & Into: In Deuteronomy Chapter 1, we saw that it was a "farewell address" to the people of Irael before he dies and they enter the Promised Land. He reviewed their history, how they went from Mt. Sinai to this land 38 years before, but faltered in faith when they heard the report of the spies. God told that generation they would die in the wilderness and that their children would enter the land. He told them to set out for the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea (Deut. 1:40). Chapter 2 is a continuation of the history lesson of how they got to where they are at this time about to cross over to the Promised Land.

Application:

29. Moses and Aaron along with the faithful Caleb and Joshua had to turn around and go through the wilderness for the unbelief of all the others. Many times the godly suffer the consequences of unbelief and decisions of others. Our individual responsibility is to remain faithful to the Lord and to continue to look to the reward in following Him no matter what others have caused in our lives. Comment on the following verses:

1 Peter 4:12-19 -
2 Thessalonians 1:5-12 -
Hebrews 12:1-3 -
Matthew 5:43-48 -

30. God had given land to possess to the blood relatives of Israel. Esau was Israel (Jacob's) brother - remember the story of Jacob & Esau - (Genesis 27-36) ... The land of Moab and Ammon were blood relatives too. Do you remember the story of Lot and his daughters after the destruction of Sodom & Gomorrah? (Genesis 19:31-38 ) ... The Israelites were not to provoke them but to pass through their areas peacefully not coveting what the Lord had given them. We are to not covet what our relatives or friends have been blessed with. We have been taught to be content with what the Lord has given us. Comment on these verses:

Exodus 20:17 -
Deuteronomy 7;25 -
1 Timothy 6:6-12 -
Philippians 4:11-13 -
Hebrews 13:5 -
1 Thessalonians 5:18 -

31. Moses reminds the Israelites that there were giants in the lands that God had given Esau, Moab, and Ammon to possess, but they had driven them out and possessed their land. It is a reminder to them that upon the report of "giants in the land", they had not believed Him and had not gone in to occupy at that time. Only Caleb and Joshua had returned with the good word that they would surely overcome with God's help, but the people were weak, afraid, and full of unbelief, and would not do it. Consequently, they had wandered in the wilderness and died off, one by one. What giants are you facing today? God wants you to believe Him; to believe His word; to stand firm in faith and be an overcomer. Comment on these verses:

1 John 4:4
1 Peter 5:8-11
Ephesians 6:10-18

32. Read Psalm 136:19-26 - The Psalmist recounts the mercies of the Lord through the wilderness journeys and the battles they faced. His mercy endures forever. Write out a summary of this prayer of praise \o/
33. Summarize this lesson and post a prayer if you would like.

My thoughts on Ps 5:1-3

Pray

Ps 5:1 Give ear to my words o Lord consider my mediation.

the secert of a close relationship with God is to pray to Him every moring. In the morning our minds and heartsw are free of problems of thsi world. then we can commit our day to Him. We need to pra daily (talking to God daily) Set some time each moring pour out our hearts to Him.

Ps 5:2

Give heed to the voice of my cry. My king and my God. For to you I will pray.

Ps5:3

My vouce You shall hear ing the morning O God . In the mornig I will direct it to You.

Give God our daily lives for His honor and glory is the lest we can do for what all he does for us each and every day.

Ps5:4

For You are not a God whe takes pleasure ing wickness nor shall evil dwell with you.

God can not live in a sinfully heart. That is not to say that He leaves us when e sin but that we need to asked forgivness of our sins daily.

Ps 5:5

The boustfull shall not stand in your sight You hate all workes of iniquity.

God can not sondone or excuse even the smallest sin, Therfore we can not excuse ourselves for dinning just a little bit. Sin is sin in God's eyes and so it should be in ours.

We don't need to get comfortabale as we have today on what is sin. If God's word says it is a sin then it is a sin. We need to learn from our sins and not getcomfotobale with it. As God makes us aware fo sin we must change . As beliver shoud stive to be more tolandt of peopl but not of their sins.
