10: Remember, Do Not Forget – Teaching Plan
Key Thought: The Lord and His prophets always told the people not to forget, or to remember. We are always to remember and not forget God’s interaction in our lives..
December 4, 2021
1. Have a volunteer read Genesis 9:8-17.
- Ask class members to share a short thought on what the most important point is in this passage.
- How is the word remember used here and what can we learn from its use?
- Personal Application: How should we remember what God has done for us in our lives? Share your thoughts on what you remember God has done for you specifically.
- Case Study: One of your relatives states, “The rainbow is a natural result of a physical reaction in the clouds. It is a pretty natural phenomenon. What does it mean to you?” How would you respond to your friend?
2. Have a volunteer read Deuteronomy 4:32-40.
- Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
- What is the Lord telling them to remember? Why is it important to remember these things?
- Personal Application: What has Jesus done for us, and how are we to respond to what He has done for us? Share your thoughts.
- Case Study: One of your friends states, “?” How would you respond to your friend?
3. Have a volunteer read Deuteronomy 4:9,23.
- Ask class members to share a short thought on what the main idea of this text is.
- What is the Lord telling them to do here, and why is it so important for the nation?
- Personal Application: How has telling your experience with the Lord benefited not just others, but yourself as well? Has recounting God’s leading in your life helped you not to forget His leading? Share your thoughts.
- Case Study: One of your relatives states: “Why would teaching the nation’s history and geneology to their children and grandchildren help them not to forget?“ How would you respond to your relative?
4. Have a volunteer read Deuteronomy 8:7-18.
- Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
- What warning is the Lord giving His people here, and what should it mean for us today
- Personal Application: What does this teach us about the danger that comes from wealth? Do wealthy people and healthy people tend to forget their need of the Lord? Share your thoughts.
- Case Study: Think of one person who needs to hear a message from this week’s lesson. Tell the class what you plan to do this week to share with them.
(Truth that is not lived, that is not imparted, loses its life-giving power, its healing virtue. Its blessings can be retained only as it is shared.”Ministry of Healing, p. 148).

10: Remember, Do Not Forget – Singing with Inspiration
Flipping through the new quarterly, there are a number of titles that have the word ‘love’ in them – Love, to Be Loved; To Love God; He First Loved Us; To Love the Lord Your God; to name just a few. Hence, I believe a wonderful hymn to devote to as a theme will be
Hymn 349 – God Is Love. Our first Memory Text says “for God is Love”, 1 John 4:8. As the book of Deuteronomy is the book of the covenant, it would also be good to add
Hymn 347 – Built On the Rock as verse four tells us of God ‘Making with us His covenant”.
Oh the joy of being able to have the Everlasting Covenant which we find in
Hymn 469 – Leaning On The Everlasting Arms of our Lord Jesus.
The story in
Hymn 394 – Far From All Care (verse 2) tells “a remnant love Thee and remember Thy holy law and each sweet Sabbath hour” as the people are instructed in our lesson study this week. One beautiful part of the commandments asks us to remember – “Remember the Sabbath….”.
Hymn 388 – Don’t Forget the Sabbath uses the other words in our lesson title ‘Do not (don’t) forget’.
We are reminded of the love of our God in the rainbow, as is sung in
Hymn 76 – O Love That Will Not Let Me Go (verse 3). God promises Noah, and us, to send no flood again to destroy the world. There are promises in
Hymn 682 – As You Have Promised Lord and today we can say we are
Standing on the Promises – Hymn 518. Sunday’s study then ends with us trusting God and His Word –
Hymn 279 – Only Trust Him.
Moses, on Monday, continued to talk to the people, trying to point out how thankful they should be to God, and they should have been able to sing
Hymn 559 – Now Thank We All Our God and Hymn 566 – Father We Thank Thee.
Today we ask
Savior, Teach Me – Hymn 193 just as Moses was instructing the people to teach the next generation all that God had taught them (Tuesday).
Our General Conference brother’s story on Wednesday invokes the thoughts of
Hymn 602 – O Brother, Be Faithful.
We finish up with Paul reminding the people of God’s grace given to them:
Hymn 108 – Amazing Grace and
Hymn 109 – Marvelous Grace.
We are bound for The Promised Land! Hallelujah!! Come, Lord Jesus, come – very soon.
Blessings for a wonderful week ahead.
To learn unknown hymns, you will find the accompaniment music for each one at: https://sdahymnals.com/Hymnal/
Another great resource is for when there is a hymn you wish to sing, but can’t find it in your hymnal. Go to https://www.sdahymnal.org and in the search bar type a special word in that is in the hymn. I am sure you will be amazed at the help you will be given.
2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

Bondad de Dios [Es Hora de Agradecer]—Pastor Ted Wilson
Description: Es la temporada de acción de gracias en muchos lugares del mundo, incluyendo, los Estados Unidos. Ahora que el año está por terminar, es hora de reflexionar sobre las muchas bendiciones que hemos recibido de Dios. En este episodio, el pastor Ted Wilson nos invita a reflexionar sobre uno de los pasajes más edificantes de la Biblia: El Salmo 107. Dice: " Alabad a Jehová, porque él es bueno; Porque para siempre es su misericordia. Díganlo los redimidos de Jehová, Los que ha redimido del poder del enemigo, Y los ha congregado de las tierras, Del oriente y del occidente, Del norte y del sur. "
Este pasaje cubre a todos. No importa de dónde seas, Dios te ha redimido de la mano del enemigo. Continúa cubriendo la historia de cómo Dios liberó al antiguo Israel.
Y puede aplicarse a nosotros hoy, entregando promesa tras promesa del gran poder de Dios para salvar. A medida que el Salmo describe las diversas pruebas por las que pasó el pueblo de Dios, escuchamos el estribillo una y otra vez., "Entonces clamaron a Jehová en su angustia, Y los libró de sus aflicciones." (versículos 6, 13, 19, 28,). El Señor no sólo nos libra de nuestras aflicciones, Él "sacia al alma menesterosa, Y llena de bien al alma hambrienta." (versículo 9), Él nos dirige hacia adelante "por el camino derecho" (versículo 7), Él rompe nuestras cadenas y nos saca de "las tinieblas y de la sombra de muerte," (versículo 14). "Alaben la misericordia de Jehová, Y sus maravillas para con los hijos de los hombres." (versículo 15). Dios envía su Palabra para sanarnos y librarnos de la destrucción (versículos 19 y 20). Ofrezcamos "Sacrificios de alabanza, Y publiquen sus obras con júbilo. (versículo
22). “Clama a Jehová en [nuestra] angustia y Él [nos] libra de [nuestras] aflicciones (versículo 28). Él "Cambia la tempestad en sosiego, y se apaciguan sus ondas. Luego se alegran, porque se apaciguaron; Y así los guía al puerto que deseaban. Alaben la misericordia de Jehová, Y sus maravillas para con los hijos de los hombres. (versículos 29-31). "Levanta de la miseria al pobre, Y hace multiplicar las familias como rebaños de ovejas. Véanlo los rectos, y alégrense, Y todos los malos cierren su boca. ¿Quién es sabio y guardará estas cosas, Y entenderá las misericordias de Jehová?" (versículos 41-43). Elena de White escribe en El Camino a Cristo, "Necesitamos alabar más a Dios por su “misericordia” “y sus maravillas para con los hijos de los hombres.” Nuestros ejercicios de devoción no deben consistir enteramente en pedir y recibir. No estemos pensando siempre en nuestras necesidades y nunca en los beneficios que recibimos. No oramos nunca demasiado, pero somos muy parcos
en dar gracias. Constantemente estamos recibiendo las misericordias de Dios y,
sin embargo, ¡cuán poca gratitud expresamos! ¡cuán poco le alabamos por lo que ha hecho en nuestro favor! De hecho, tenemos mucho que agradecer. Con esto, el pastor Wilson te anima a dedicar tiempo a escribir al menos diez cosas por las que estás agradecido diariamente. Las investigaciones muestran que tener un diario de gratitud aumenta la salud física, mental y espiritual. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnfDCQs2ix8
Bondade de Deus [hora de agradecer] – Pastor Ted Wilson
É a época de ação de graças em muitos lugares do mundo, incluindo os Estados Unidos. Agora que o ano está se encerrando, é hora de refletir sobre as muitas bênçãos que recebemos de Deus. Neste episódio, o pastor Ted Wilson gostaria que refletíssemos sobre uma das passagens mais edificantes da Bíblia, o Salmo 107. O texto diz: “Rendei graças ao SENHOR, porque ele é bom, e a sua misericórdia dura para sempre. Digam-no os remidos do SENHOR, os que ele resgatou da mão do inimigo e congregou de entre as terras, do Oriente e do Ocidente, do Norte e do mar". Esta passagem cobre todos. Não importa de onde você seja, Deus o redimiu das mãos do inimigo. Ele continua cobrindo a história de como Deus libertou o antigo Israel. E isso pode se aplicar a nós hoje, entregando promessa após promessa do grande poder de Deus para salvar. Conforme o Salmo 107 descreve as várias provações pelas quais o povo de Deus passou, ouvimos este refrão repetidamente: "Então, na sua angústia, clamaram ao SENHOR, e ele os livrou das suas tribulações." (versos 6, 13, 19 e 28). Deus não apenas nos livrou da angústia, mas também "dessedentou a alma sequiosa e fartou de bens a alma faminta” (verso 9). Ele nos conduz avante "pelo caminho direito" (verso 7). Além disso, Ele quebra nossas correntes e nos traz "das trevas e das sombras da morte" (verso 14). "Rendam graças ao SENHOR por sua bondade e por suas maravilhas para com os filhos dos homens!" (verso 15). Deus envia Sua Palavra para nos curar e nos livrar da destruição (versos 19 e 20). Com isso, "Ofereçam sacrifícios de ações de graças e proclamem com júbilo as suas obras!" (verso 22). "Então, na sua angústia, clamaram ao SENHOR, e ele os livrou das suas tribulações." (verso 28). "Fez cessar a tormenta, e as ondas se acalmaram. Então, se alegraram com a bonança; e, assim, os levou ao desejado porto. Rendam graças ao SENHOR por sua bondade e por suas maravilhas para com os filhos dos homens!" (versos 29 a 31). "Mas levanta da opressão o necessitado, para um alto retiro, e lhe prospera famílias como rebanhos. Os retos vêem isso e se alegram, mas o ímpio por toda parte fecha a boca. Quem é sábio atente para essas coisas e considere as misericórdias do SENHOR." (versos 41 a 43). Ellen White escreve no livro Caminho a Cristo, páginas 102 e 103: "Devemos louvar mais a Deus "pela Sua bondade e pelas Suas maravilhas para com os filhos dos homens". Sal. 107:8. Nossas devoções não deviam consistir só em pedir e receber. Não pensemos sempre em nossas necessidades, sem nunca nos ocuparmos com os benefícios recebidos. Não oramos demasiado, mas somos ainda mais econômicos em nossas ações de graças. Estamos a receber continuamente as misericórdias de Deus e, no entanto, quão pouco Lhe exprimimos nosso reconhecimento, quão pouco O louvamos pelo que por nós tem feito!" Na verdade, temos muito a agradecer. Com isso, o pastor Ted o incentiva a passar um tempo escrevendo pelo menos dez coisas pelas quais você é grato diariamente. Pesquisas mostram que ter um diário de gratidão aumenta a saúde física, mental e espiritual. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPyxp1AaTG8
