This quarter we’re looking at the book of Deuteronomy.
The word “Deuteronomy” comes from the Greek and means “second law,” or a repetition of the law, “second” really meaning “a second time,” or “again.” It’s a recapitulation mainly delivered by Moses of the previous instructions given by God to his people. In a sense it’s a “sermon compilation,” a record of three speeches presented by Moses that recounted past history as well as what God wanted, and the right response that was needed.
When Moses’ gave this summary of their history to the Israelites, this was far more than a schoolbook lesson. He was trying to remind them of all that God had done for them as evidence that they should continue to believe and trust in him. Most significantly he identified God as a parent—as protector, care-giver, provider, guardian, guide, and teacher. “The Lord your God who leads your way will fight for you in the same way you saw him do for you in Egypt. He did the same in the desert—you saw how the Lord your God carried you like a father carries his son during your whole journey until you arrived here.” Deuteronomy 1:30, 31 FBV.

Speaking at Sligo Church Sabbath School Teachers’ Meeting:
Some of Dr. Gallagher’s articles and books are available here: articles books
Through a free, conversational study of the Scriptures Dr. Jonathan Gallagher invites you to participate in an exciting analysis and discussion of the Sabbath school lesson in the context of the character of God and in the setting of the Great Controversy
This supportive ministry seeks to make the Sabbath school study a relevant and important part of spiritual life by providing actual class discussions in audio format, accompanied by
study sheets. In this way class members become far more involved in discussing vital spiritual issues,particularly focusing on the nature and character of God in the setting of the Great Controversy. By centering the focus on a ‘free, conversational study of the Scriptures,’ Sabbath School On The Move contributes to both the growth and development of individual members and also a wider and more dynamic involvement in the fundamental message and mission of the church.
Recorded at different locations and also online, Sabbath School On The Move is made available free via the Internet to all, providing a rich resource for those teaching the lesson as well as those wishing to be more deeply informed about the subjects presented by the lesson. It is particularly useful to those who for various reasons are not able to attend Sabbath school in person, and provides a “virtual community” to members who can then experience the sense of belonging and participating in the wider church around the world.
