Deuteronomy
Teachers
Lesson Summary
The class began by recapping the previous week’s study of Deuteronomy 28, where Moses had divided the Israelites into two groups—one receiving blessings and the other curses—emphasizing Deuteronomy 28:2: "All these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the Lord your God." The teacher linked this covenantal promise to Psalm 23:6, highlighting that God’s goodness and mercy pursue believers, and contrasted it with today’s cultural chase for momentary happiness. He cited John 10:10 to illustrate that Christ offers an abundant life, not just fleeting pleasure, and pointed to Galatians 2:20 as the foundation for living crucified with Christ, the focus of the upcoming quarter’s study. Participants shared prayer requests, including health concerns and personal hardships, and the group prayed collectively. The teacher announced that the next class would be paused for a men’s rally and introduced the upcoming "No Longer I" series, inviting members to continue their spiritual renewal journey. The session closed with encouragement to register for the rally and to use the church’s outreach publications to share the gospel.
