February 23, 2025 – Moses’ Farewell – Deuteronomy 31–34
CHRIST CONNECTION:
Moses led God’s people faithfully but died unable to bring them into the Promised Land. Jesus leads us in perfect faithfulness. He died so that all who place their faith in Him will join Him in the new heaven and earth.
Story Point: Moses blessed the Israelites and reminded them that God would be with them.
Key Passage: Romans 8:28
We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
Big Picture Question: Why should we obey God?
We should obey God because He made us, He loves us, and His plans are good.
Family Talk Time (Review):
Read Deuteronomy 31:3
Moses was a faithful leader, but he didn’t get to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land. God Himself would cross over before His people and allow them to have the land. God is the only perfect Leader, and the Israelites could trust Him to deliver them from their enemies.
We can trust God to faithfully lead us too. We do not need to be afraid because God sent His Son, Jesus, to save us from our sin. Jesus faithfully leads us to what is best. We can have confidence in His good plans because His Word promises that Jesus leads us to eternal life.
Will God ever leave His people?
God has promised to be with His people forever. Discuss how God’s people are those who have placed their faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of their sins. Remember that God is trustworthy and His promises never fail.
Why do you think Moses said the people would keep disobeying God?
God spoke to Moses and told Moses that the people would disobey. Remember that God knows all things, and He knows that all people are sinful. God knew His people would need to repent, or turn away from their sin, and turn back to Him. God made the way for people to be able to obey His commands through faith in Jesus.
How is Jesus a better leader than Moses?
Moses was a sinner and was not even able to enter the Promised Land. Jesus never sinned and only He can lead us to forgiveness, life, and into the kingdom of God. I want to encourage you to follow Jesus and trust that He will always lead you to what is best.
