Thanksgiving: UNFORGETTABLE! Cont... 8:30



Sermon Text: Deuteronomy 8: 1 Be careful o follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase and may enter and possess the land that the Lord promised on an oath to your forefathers.
Sermon Title: Thanksgiving: UNFORGETTABLE!
Point 1: Remember when…lead you vs. 2 Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years… In the text Moses told the Children of Israel God’s leadership is worth remembering. How does someone find there way for 40 years in the Wilderness unless they are lead.
What was God up to when He was leading Israel? Look in vs. 2, 3 …to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands (1) God wanted to Israel to become humble…you follow better when you are humble (2) God wanted them to know what was in there hearts…some times you don’t know what’s in your heart until you are put under pressure (3) God wanted them to learn how to depend on his word not his hand...
Point 2: Remember when…fed you vs. 3 He humbled you , causing you to hunger and then feeding you you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live by bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.
Psalms 103: 1 – 5 puts it this way Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
2   Bless the Lord, O my soul,
    And forget not all His benefits:
3   Who forgives all your iniquities,
    Who heals all your diseases,
4   Who redeems your life from destruction,
    Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,
5   Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
    So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Point 3: Remember when…became your God vs. 11 Verse 11 Be careful that you do not forget the Lord your God…
This verse gives us the most important reason Moses wants them to be thankful by remembering God became their God. God had a choice in the matter.
