Family Quest: Extreme Makeover, Spiritual Edition – Section 3, Lesson 3

LESSON 3: REMEMBER WHEN?

Why is it that God spends so much time in the Bible telling His children to “remember” Him? I’d like to venture four reasons I believe are grounded in scripture. When we fail to remember God we risk…

  1. Falling into idolatry/trusting ourselves or our possessions (Deut. 8:13-14)
  2. Never growing in trust of/faith in God (Isa. 40:20-21)
  3. Stumbling into sin and suffering the Father’s discipline (Deut. 8:19)
  4. Forfeiting a generation to the enemy (Judges 2:10-11)

So how can we use our minds to remember God? Here are five ways, listed below, that God has ordained for us to remember Him, who He is, and all that He has done. Help your kids use their memory to love God
this week.

  1. In His Word – God’s Word is our primary means of remembering who He is and all that He has done throughout history. As adults our most important duty in the kingdom is to take the words of God and, “Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home. Talk about them when you walk along the road. Speak about them when you go to bed. And speak about them when you get
    up” (Deuteronomy 11:19).
  2. In song – Remembering God in song is a theme we see in scripture over and over again. How wonderful it is that our Creator gave us music, knowing the power it has to help us remember as well as to connect our heads to our hearts and emotions.
  3. In prayer – Prayer should not only be about asking for help but about remembering to God all that He has done. When we thank God in our prayers we are “remembering” that God alone is responsible for providing our every need. (Nehemiah 9)
  4. In true Christian fellowship – Fellowship is much more than potluck dinners or bowling night. It is about gathering together to remember God to one another. (1 Corinthians 14:26)
  5. In traditions and memorials – Traditions and memorials are things that we, in the bible church movement have largely banished from the life of the church. While a healthy dose of caution about tradition becoming idolatry is warranted, the Bible is also clear that God has given us tradition and memorial to help us “remember” who He is and all that He has done. (Joshua 4:4-7, Luke 22:19)

I hope that these will serve you well in helping the children in your group apply their minds to remembering God for who He is and what He’s done.

 

BIG IDEA: A makeover mind remembers who God is and all that He has done.

 

MEDITATING ON THE WORD:
Joshua 4:21-24
Proverbs 22:6
Psalm 103:1-5
John 14:26
Deuteronomy 11:19
Proverbs 3:1-6
Deuteronomy 8:1-5
Deuteronomy 24:9

UNIT VERSE:
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. – Mark 12:30

SECTION VERSE:
Don’t live any longer the way this world lives. Let your way of thinking be completely changed. Then you will be able to test what God wants for you. And you will agree that what he wants is right. His plan is good and pleasing and perfect. – Romans 12:2

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

  • What are some ways God has blessed you and your family?
  • Can you think of a time when God has made a way for you and your family?
  • Why is it important to remember God’s goodness in our lives?
  • Is God working even in our bad situations? Should we remember them?

PRAYER:
Think about five things God has done for you. Think about five things God has done for your family. Thank Him for them.

ABOUT FAMILY QUEST: At Reston Bible Church, we firmly believe that parents are a child’s first and most important spiritual leader.  In order to support you that mission, we have created a parent devotional and some discussion starters to go along with each lesson your grade school age children are learning at Quest on Sundays. Our hope and prayer is that this material will help you to engage with your children around the topics they are learning on Sunday mornings, answer their questions, go deeper with them, and find real, day-to-day applications. We are honored to be able to partner with you in the critical task of sharing Christ with the next generation.
