“I Am the Law, and the Light”
September 30 – October 6, 2024
WEEK 40: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This week we’ll hear echoes of the New Testament in the Book of Mormon as we study the Sermon at the Temple. Jesus will teach those ready to live a higher law and become perfected through Him. He’ll teach the Beatitudes, ask them to examine their intentions, and remind them of prophecy about His other sheep. It’s a power-packed week of study!
3 Nephi 11-16 | Elder Holland said “Refuse to accept the world for what it appears to be. Shine the brightness of your hope on it and make it what it ought to be.” How do you see this type of determination and tenacious hope in the Savior this week? Can hope actually change the landscape of your lif or does it just make you view it differently?
14:13-14 | There are many reasons why the gate of baptism is strait and narrow. One of my favorites I found in 2 Nephi 9:41. That verse openem my eyes to a new understanding about the relationship that is initiated. Why do you think the gate is strait and narrow?
3 Nephi 15:17-18 | Pride and doubt limit revelation for the Children of Israel in Jesus’ time. How have you seen it limit revelation in your life? How has humility and faith impacted the flow of revelation for you?

September 23 – September 29, 2024
WEEK 39: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This week we see the pinnacle moment of the Book of Mormon when the Savior finally comes among the Nephines. Before he arrives as a glorified, resurrected being, great storms will rage. Thousands will be lost in the calamity due to their wickedness and abuse of the servants of the Lord. Those who survive the storms will gather at the temple to see His face, touch His wounds, and testify of His resurrection.
3 Nephi 10:9-10 | What is it about the subsequent verses that teach you how their mourning was turned into joy? What do they know now that they didn’t know in the darkness?
3 Nephi 10:12-15 | Why was Samuel protected from stones and arrows while the other prophets were not? What was unique about his mission? How do you teach those different results to your children?
3 Nephi 11:39-40 | How do you see this happening in our day? Why is it tempting to declare more or less? How does it remove/negate the steadying anchor pins that Elder Bednar spoke about in conference?

“Lift Up Your Head and Be of Good Cheer”
September 16 - September 22
WEEK 38: SUMMARY
===========Insights Summary:The years leading up to the Savior’s arrival among the Nephites are tumultuous. There are external struggles between the Gadianton Robbers and internal struggles with the demons of doubt and discouragement. There are also bright moments of faith when believers choose to “hope against hope” as Paul would say. This week you’ll study their experiences and watch the Lord fulfill His promise. It’s a fantastic week of study.
Questions to Consider:1. 3 Nephi 1:9 | The believers in prophecy are threatened with death. It’s like Esther’s story in the Old Testament. They are not forming an uprising. They don’t want power. They are not a threat. Question: What causes this kind of extreme reaction? What problem are the dissenters trying to solve? Do you see this fear-based violence against the light in our day? 2. 3 Nephi 3:2 | Giddianhi, the Gadianton leader, demands that Lachoneus and the Nephites surrender themselves and their lands. He tries many techniques to convince Lachoneus to surrender. Question: Do you see similarities between this letter and the temptations Satan tried to offer the Savior? Are there similarities with Moses 1? What tools/knowledge does Lachoneus use to see through the trap? 3. 3 Nephi 7:26 | After seeing the miracles of Nephi, many believe. They choose to repent and are baptized by authorized priesthood holders.
- 25 Therefore, there were ordained of Nephi, men unto this ministry, that all such as should come unto them should be baptized with water, and this as a witness and a testimony before God, and unto the people, that they had repented and received a remission of their sins.
- 26 And there were many in the commencement of this year that were baptized unto repentance;
- Question: How is repentance a pre-requisite for baptism and something you’re baptized unto? Are these different types of repentance (like the different types of hope we discussed)? What does it mean to be baptized “unto” repentance?

“Glad Tidings of Great Joy”
September 9 – September 15 2024
WEEK 37: SUMMARY
=================Insights Summary:Samuel the Lamanite is an outlier in many ways. He’s an outsider - the only Lamanite prophet on record. His mission to the Nephites focuses on repentance and finding hope in the coming of Christ. His words will soften the hearts of a few and ignite violence in the hearts of others. As a Lamanite, he is a living witness of the power of repentance. His words are powerful, prophetic, and profoundly applicable for our day.
Questions to Consider:Helaman 13:13-14 | Question: Where have you see this in your life? When have you seen the righteousness of one or a few provide protection for many?
Helaman 15:8 | What “thing” is Samuel referring to in this verse? What kind of freedom is this? Freedom from what exactly?
Helaman 16:1 | What did each man bring to the table? Why were both needed? Why didn’t Samuel do the baptizing? Why didn’t Nephi get on the wall? Where do you see this kind of tag-team work in the church today?

“Remember the Lord”
September 2 – September 8 2024
WEEK 36: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This week, we see a prophet’s role up close. We’ll follow Nephi as he works diligently to reclaim Nephite hearts for the Lord. We’ll hear him pray for his people from his garden tower and watch as those same people accuse him of conspiracy. Nephi will be weighed down with sorrow at times and lifted up by the Lord at others. His tenacity through it all will inspire you to study the words of our prophet and seek the wisdom God is eager to give you.
- Helaman 7:11
Nephi has a desperate prayer to offer for the people. He doesn’t go to a private place. He prays on a garden tower near the highway.
Question: Do you think this was deliberately demonstrative? What did he think would happen? Is there a comparison between this experience and Daniel’s prayer with his windows open (see Daniel 6:10)?
Jack N Gerard, Apr 2024, Integrity: A Christlike attribute
- Helaman 11:23
After a period of peace, contentions well up. Nephi and Lehi and otehrs are able to neutralize those contentions by teaching truth “having many revelations daily”
Question: When have you felt this surge in your life? Do you see this playing out in the lives of prophets and apostles today? We tend to focus on conference. How does daily revelation trickle down into the church now?
- Helaman 12:5
Mormon is warning about how prosperity tends to harden our hearts and make us forget God’s goodness. He said “they do harden their hearts, and do forget the Lord their God, and do trample under their feet the Holy One—yea, and this because of their ease, and their exceedingly great prosperity.”
Question: What does it mean to trample the Holy One under our feet? Does this have something to do with his posture as a Redeemer Or is this about our own dismissiveness Or could it be about our casualness in expecting and receiving His gift?

“The Rock of Our Redeemer”
August 26 - September 1, 2024
WEEK 35: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
The book of Helaman is a build-up to the coming of Jesus Christ in the Book of Mormon. Our master editor, Mormon, sets the stage by helping us understand the depths of the darkness brought on by the Coriantumr, Kishkumen, and the Gadianton Robbers. That dark backdrop will make the bright bursts of light we find in the stories of Moronihah, Helaman, Nephi, Lehi, Aminadab and others. The contrast will catch your heart and help you feel more equipped to conquer the darkness of our day.
Questions to Consider:
Helaman 3:30 | What do you think it means to sit with the holy fathers and “go no more out”?
Helaman 5:8 | What do you think a heavenly treasure is? Is it relationships, a rate of progression, a certainty of some kind? What else could we possibly “lay-up” for ourselves?
Helaman 6:36-38 | The Lamanites converted or removed the Gadianton Robbers from the lands but the Nephites “build them up and support them” until most “come down to believe in their works and partake of their spoils.” Do you see similar trends in our day? What does ripening for destruction look like in our day? Could teaching truth reverse that trend?

WEEK 34: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
On the creative side of week 34, we’ll test our ability to follow guidance “with exactness” like the Stripling Warriors by dunking cupcakes in water.

“Preserved by His Marvelous Power”
August 19 – August 25 2024
WEEK 34: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
The second half of the war chapters are focused on reclaiming what has been lost. The Lamanites have invaded fortified cities. It will take mighty efforts of men mixed with the Lord’s deliverance to get them back again. God will keep his promises of deliverance to the Anti-Nephi-Lehies and protect their 2000 sons. He'll endow them with power and capacity to change the course of Nephtite history and regain what was lost.
Questions to Consider:
Alma 53:2 | Do you think God prepared people like Lehi, Moroni, Helaman, Teancum, Antipus, etc. for this particular moment? Or do you think this particular moment makes these men? Have you felt a premortal connection in your callings or responsibilities?
Alma 55 | What does this story teach us about God’s approach to those who have been victimized? How does Elder Kearon’s talk from Apr 2022 add to this idea? Do you see his invitation to go from “Victim to Survivor to Conqueror” in this story?
Alma 54:20 | Where do you see this in our day? Are there those who claim power to do, seal, or stop things things that are entirely beyond their mortal capabilities?

“Stand Fast in the Faith of Christ”
August 12 – August 18 2024
WEEK 33: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
Mormon was a warrior and a general. He knew the pains of war and the power of studying the people who manage to stay valiant in it. This week, we’ll study the efforts of men like Captain Moroni and Helaman as they push back against the violent strategies of men like Zerahemnah, Amalickiah, and Ammoron. Studying their strategies and the Lord’s patterns of deliverance will help equip us for the battles of our day.
Questions to Consider:
Alma 44:17 | When is anger justified? How does Moroni channel it constructively? Are there stories in the Savior’s life that help you understand how to control this emotion rather than be controlled by it?
Alma 49:6-9 | Why do you think the Lord works in “curious” ways to conquer physical and spiritual enemies? Does this story teach you anything impactful about the Restoration?
Alma 47:7-18 | What important differences do you see between the story of Nehemiah rebuilding the wall and Lehonti coming down from his stronghold? How can we apply Nehemiah’s tactics to our day?

“The Great Plan of Happiness”
August 5 – August 11 2024
WEEK 32: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This week we head into Alma’s guidance to his third son. Alma loves all of his sons but he has deep concerns for Corianton. Corianton has made choices that are slowly separating him from God’s plan and from the only path to true happiness. As a loving Father, prophet, and devoted mission president, Alma will offer compassionate correction and clear expectations. He’ll teach him about the ramifications of his choices and guide him on a doctrine-based path of repentance.
Questions to Consider:
Alma 40:5, 19 | How do you get to this place spiritually - where the things you don’t know don’t distract you from what you do? Do you have a favorite talk or quote that helps you “let it suffice?”
Alma 41:10 | Are there times you thought you felt happiness from wickedness? What changed that perspective for you? Does verse 11 help add light to this truth? What is the “nature of happiness”?
Alma 43:20 | What does it mean to let something have full sway in our hearts? The next verse tells Corianton to preach in truth and soberness. Are those thoughts related? Did you learn something about soberness last week that would help you understand how we let things have “full sway?”

July 29 – August 4 2024
WEEK 30: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This week, Alma’s life is coming to an end, and a great war with the Lamanites is just beginning. To prepare his sons, Alma will invite each to hear his counsel individually. First, he’ll talk to his oldest son, Helaman. He’ll teach him about the importance of his personal deliverance story in a beautiful, deliberate chiasmus. Next, he’ll give him instructions on deepening his own testimony by keeping the plates and preserving the stories of the past. His counsel to his second son, Shiblon, will focus on the joy that comes to our lives when we are diligent, steady, and sure. The messages are unique, but both focus our eyes firmly on the power and promise of Jesus Christ.
Questions to Consider:
Alma 37:12 | How can something be straight and also round? Are there symbols in scripture or the temple that help you understand what this phrase might mean?
Alma 37:38-46 | What do you think the Liahona represents? The Holy Ghost, patriarchal blessings, something else? Have you had experiences when you “tarried” in the wilderness? How did you get out of them?
Alma 38:15 & 37:47 | What do you think it means to be sober regarding the gospel of Jesus Christ? How did Christ demonstrate this attribute for us?

“Plant This Word in Your Hearts”
July 22 - July 28 2024
WEEK 30: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This week, the Zoramites who are poor in Spirit and poor in means find relief in the words of Alma and Amulek. Alma will teach them about planting seeds of truth and nourishing emerging young growth. He’ll help them connect to ancient prophets and increase their faith one hope-filled step at a time. We’ll also study Amulek’s testimony of the great and last sacrifice of Jesus Christ, followed by his earnest warnings about this life being the time to meet God.
Questions to Consider:
Alma 32:3-4 | How are poor in the things of the world and poor in spirit connected? How does understanding the gospel allow you to be poor in the world but full of the Spirit?
Alma 33:3-11 | How are our afflictions and sincerity an amplifier for our prayers? Elder Holland promised, “God hears every prayer we offer and responds to each of them according to the path He has outlined for our perfection.” How have you seen this in your life?
Alma 34:10 | Are the phrases “great and last sacrfice” and “infinite and eternal sacrifice” the same or is there a reason Amulek uses both? Does one build on the other? What do both phrases teach you about the worth of souls?

“The Virtue of the Word of God”
July 15 - July 21 2024
WEEK 29: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
Korihor’s life is only mentioned in one chapter of the Book of Mormon but his legacy of anti-Christ teachings will impact generations. This week, we’ll see the Lord’s efforts to bring him back to truth before it’s too late. He’ll send him Alma to try to open his eyes to the evidence of God that is already around him. Alma will also be sent to teach the apostate Zoramites. They had separated from the Church and concocted their own version of the gospel. Alma and his fellow missionaries sense the risks and brace for the weeks ahead by praying for the divine, enabling power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ to bring them comfort, strength, and peace.
Questions to Consider:
Alma 30:59-60 | Where do you see selfishness in Korihor’s teaching? Where do you see it in the Zoramites prayer? What is the antidote to selfishness? Is it represented in these chapters?
Alma 31:5 | Do you think power is limited to righteous words? Are words planted by the adversary equally impactful on the mind? What does Elder Rasband’s “Words Matter” talk add to this discussion?
Alma 31:30-38 | What does Alma pray for instead of healing from his affliction/infirmity? What does he receive?

“They Never Did Fall Away’”
July 8 - July 14 2024
WEEK 28: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This week, we’ll study the second half of the missionary efforts of the Sons of Mosiah. Thanks to a proclamation from a converted Lamanite King, the floodgates open wide, and many Lamanites join the fold of God. The Anti-Nephi-Lehites will bury their weapons of war to witness to God and their fellowmen that they are forever changed - never to fall away again. We’ll also hear the rejoicings of joy-filled, stretched-thin laborers in God’s white field. Their earnest, poetic testimonies of the worth of souls and the power of God will inspire you to become a stronger disciple of Christ.
Questions to Consider:
Alma 27:5-25 | Do you see parallels between this story and the Prodigal Son? How does the reception of the Nephites compare to the Prodigal’s Dad? What does that teach you about the atonement of Jesus Christ?
Alma 27:28 | Read the end of chapter 27 and tell me why you think they don’t fear death. Have you ever seen someone face the prospect of death with this kind of tenacious faith?
Alma 23:17 and Alma 27:26 | New names are significant in scripture. Is there a reason they ask to be distinct from the Nephites? Is there a reason why the Nephites distinguish them with a different name?

“They Were Steadfast and Immovable”
July 1 – July 7 2024
WEEK 27: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This week we head deep into Lamanite territory as we follow the Sons of Mosiah on the first leg of their 14 year mission. Ammon will head to the Land of Ishmael and change the heart of King Lamoni, his wife, and many others. We’ll see how men like Ammon and women like Abish work together to live the gospel in a way that draws hearts to Jesus Christ. We’ll also study the rockier missionary road of Aaron and others who try to teach Nehor-like hearts. Ultimately, the Spirit does a mighty work through efforts of these missionaries and the tide starts to turn for the Lamanites.
Questions to Consider:
Alma 17:14 & 21:7-11 | Can Elder Maxwell’s warning about doctrines “going wild” apply to the phrase “wild, hardened, and ferocious”. Is there a progression between those three things? How does distorting doctrine begin that slippery slope?
Alma 18:1-3 | If you compare this witness to the testimony of the man born blind, what similarities do you see? How does Lamoni’s response differ from the Pharisees?
Alma 19:6 | Do you think this light is visible to Ammon or he just senses it from the Spirit? If it is visible, why can’t others see it? What scriptures help you understand this kind of spiritual ultraviolet light?

“They Were Steadfast and Immovable”
June 17 – June 23 2024
WEEK 26: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
Alma and Amulek refuse to give up on the people of Ammonihah. This week, Alma will teach us about Melchizedek and his ability to use the power of the Priesthood to change a sin-sick city. Alma’s message resonates with some, but others turn violently against the truth. They’ll execute women and children in front of Alma and Amulek, almost daring them to intervene. Later, they’ll strip these mighty men of God of everything possible but Alma and Amulek stand strong. After a harrowing time in prison, they plead for help from the Lord and receive deliverance. Amazingly, they’ll use that freedom to lift the pains of Zeezrom and help restore the Nephites to peace and truth. It’s a beautiful week of study.
Questions to Consider:
Alma 14:8 | Why is the war tactic of targeting women so effective at long-term destruction? Is the opposite true? If we care for mothers, can we change the world? Could that be what motivates our Relief Society leaders today?
Alma 15:18 | What does “strengthening him in the Lord” mean? Are there important parallels between this story and the parable of the Good Samaritan or any of the miracles of Jesus from the New Testament?
Alma 16:4-8 | When have you seen other stories like this in scripture? Does this still happen today? How do leaders turn to the prophet today for economic, military, or political guidance?

WEEK 25: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This week, Alma, we’ll travel with Alma through Melek and Ammonihah. The people in Melek heed his teachings but those in Ammonihah reject him and cast him out of their city. Thankfully, Alma’s angel returns to lift his heart and send him back to teach. On his return, he meets Amulek and the two of them become a mighty force for good. Together, they’ll slice through the tricks of the adversary with a sword of truth and preach pure, hope-filled messages of Jesus Christ.
Questions to Consider:
Alma 8:6-10 | Where else do you see shadows of Christ in Alma’s character and experiences this week?
Alma 10:17-23 | The Spirit of Prophecy helps Amulek navigate their trick questions. What facet of your life is like this for you? When have you felt that same ease spiritually? If you haven’t, what can you learn from your other skill to help you hone your spiritual skills?
Alma 11:42-45 | Amulek uses the word “restore” and “restoration” often. Why is that such a fitting term doctrinally for resurrection? What types of things are restored? What’s the process of restoring something of great worth? What are the limitations on restoration?

WEEK 24: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This week Alma begins his reactivation tour. He’s hoping to kindle the dim fires of faith in the people of Zarahemla and stoke the flames he finds in the hearts at Gideon. He’ll testify of mighty changes and ask a series of questions to help members evaluate their own status before God. In the process, he’ll share beautiful sermons about the mercy, ministry, and mission of Jesus Christ.
Questions to Consider:
Alma 5:19 | Why not reflected in your countenance? What does the word engraven imply? Permanence? Sacrifice? Something more?
Alma 5:44-46, 6:6 | Do you see a link between these verses? Why are fasting and mighty prayer a powerful tool for both individuals and groups?
Alma 7:19-20 | What is this path? Where is it leading? If we control its straightness, is it a path to us? Does it link to John the Baptist or to Proverbs 3:5-6?

This week, we leave the Book of Mosiah and the mighty legacies of King Mosiah 2 and Alma the Elder. First, we’ll see a peaceful transition of power from a monarchy to a system of judges. Then, we’ll study how contention and pride threaten to overthrow the new government, resulting in a bloody civil war. Alma the Younger will push back against those forces, first on the battlefield and then again by stepping away from power to teach truth directly to the people.
Questions to Consider:
Alma 1:29 | What does it mean for a church to be “steady?” How is it a blessing in our day?
Alma 3:4 | What types of marks do we put on ourselves to show that we want to be distinguished from the believers - or be more accepted in the world?
Alma 4:19 | What is pure testimony? When have you heard pure testimony? Did you recognize it because of what it caused to happen?

May 27 - June 2, 2024
WEEK 22: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This is a week of impossible returnings. In these four chapters we’ll see splintered groups return home, the destitute return to safety, apostates return to truth, 5 prodigals return to the covenant, and a spark of hope return to the hearts of prospective missionaries. We’ll also see the hand of the Lord work through miraculous and ordinary means in order to make the impossible returnings happen for Mosiah’s people.
Questions to Consider:
Mosiah 26:15-32 | The Lord’s answer comes to Alma in Mosiah 26:1-32. What insecurities and fears do you see quenched in these verses?
Mosiah 27:11-17 | Why do you think the same angel is sent both times? The first time his voice sounds like thunder. What do you think it sounds like the second time? Does this teach us something about the nature of the Lord as a God of mercy and justice?
Mosiah 28:13-16 | Why does the Lord use physical objects like seer stones to accomplish his purposes? Why not just change the sight of the “seer” or just inspire his mind? Is there benefit to having something to pass down through the generations?

“We Have Entered into a Covenant with Him”
May 20 - May 26, 2024
WEEK 21: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This week, we’ll study two epic deliverance stories. The people of Alma will find refuge and covenant connection in the Waters of Mormon but stumble into bondage in the land of Helam. Ultimately, they will pray for relief and find it in their day-to-day burdens as well as their miraculous escape. Limhi’s people will also suffer through decades of bondage. They’ll come to know their need for a deliverer and find it with the help of the Lord. Thanks to ingenuity, faith, and the help of Ammon’s band of rescuers, they too will find deliverance in Zarahemla.sage to others and create an epic pivot point in the Book of Mormon.
Questions to Consider:
Mosiah 19:16-17 | Do you see a link between this type of treatment of women in this week’s chapters and the lack of commandment keeping Abinadi spoke about? How does Limhi break this cycle when it comes to the widows?
Mosiah 24:8-9 | Why would Amulon delight in the Nephites misery? How do you see the slippery slope of unrighteous dominion impacting Amulon?
Mosiah 23:6 & 23:13 | Why does Alma change his perspective when they get to Zarahemla and become King Mosiah’s subjects? Does this choice plant seeds for a future reign of judges that Alma and Mosiah 2 will set up together?

“In the Strength of the Lord”
May 13 - May 19, 2024
WEEK 20: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This week we’ll study the powerful words of Abinadi to King Noah and his people. He’ll echo the core messages of King Benjamin - about the Savior’s life and redemptive role - but he will teach in a vastly different setting to a group who refuses to hear. His true words and poised testimony will prick the heart of Alma who will carry his message to others and create an epic pivot point in the Book of Mormon.
Questions to Consider:
MOSIAH 12:20-24 (PRIESTS QUESTION) & 15:14-18 (ABINADI’S ANSWER) | When have you seen “beautiful feet upon the mountains” like theirs? How did they publish peace or bring good tidings?
MOSIAH 15:23 | How does it change your perspective to think of being “raised”? How does this relate to overcoming the “Fall”?
MOSIAH 17:13-19 | Why does a loving God ever “execute vengeance”? Why is this a fitting warning for this group? How is this group different from the Roman soldiers?

WEEK 19: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This week’s study spans several decades, and we find out what happened to Zeniff’s group after they left Zarahemla for the land of Nephi. We’ll study the incredible motives of Ammon, a descendant of Zarahemla, as well as the humility of Limhi, who gratefully accepts his help. We’ll also go back in time to read Zeniff’s record. His words will teach us about the slippery slope to bondage and the risks of being over-zealous. However, the overarching message of the Savior’s deliverance runs through each chapter.
Questions to Consider:
MOSIAH 7:15 | These seem to be counterpoints to Benjamin’s description of his rule. Are there other contrasts that Zeniff might appreciate?
MOSIAH 7:25 | Why is fallen a good word choice here? It’s almost like the “natural man” is susceptible to the cosmic gravity of the world without God
MOSIAH 7:18-19 | How can you genuinely rejoice in the hope of deliverance? What does this combination of assured deliverance and effectual struggle teach us about Heavenly Father’s plan? What does verse 33 of chapter 7 add to this idea?

“A Mighty Change”
April 29 - May 5, 2024
WEEK 17: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
We’ll wrap up King Benjamin’s sermon this week. His people will be so moved by the Spirit that they will fall to the ground in reverence and then rise with new hearts and dispositions. Benjamin will encourage their desires to make covenants and unite as the Children of Christ. In his final act as a mighty King, he’ll consecrate his son, Mosiah, to rule and reign in righteousness.
Questions to Consider:
Mosiah 4:24-25 | How does this principle apply in other ways beyond financial? How do we “have not and yet have sufficient”?
Mosiah 5:8 | How does a covenantal bond add depth and relationship to the commandments? Do you see other commandments differently because of the covenants you’ve made?
Mosiah 6:3 | Do you see similarities between Benjamin’s consecration of his son Mosiah and the consecration of other sons in scripture?

Book of Mormon [MOSIAH 1-3] Insights
“Filled with Love towards God and All Men”
April 22 - April 28
WEEK 17: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This week, we’ll cover the first three chapters of Mosiah and the first half of King Benjamin’s sermon. His words to his sons and people are centered on service and offer us a powerful glimpse of true leadership. His recounting of the angel’s words will help us recognize the character of the Savior.
Questions to Consider:
-
Mosiah 2:5-6 | Mosiah asked that the people gather in families, each in their own tent. Question: How does this approach mimic home-centered, church-supported learning? Why would this bless Benjamin’s people? How does it bless us?
-
Mosiah 2:36-37 | Benjamin warns that he’s teaching them truth and they’ll be held accountable for the knowledge they receive. He warns not to “withdraw themselves from the Spirit.” Question: Often we talk about the Spirit withdrawing from us. How do we withdraw from it? What does it mean to give the spirit “no place in us”?
-
Mosiah 3:5 | The angel says Christ will come in a tabernacle of clay. Question: How does the word tabernacle/tent help you understand this second estate of mortality? Why clay? How does that word add to our understanding?

Book of Mormon [ENOS-WORDS OF MORMON] Insights
“He Worketh in Me to Do According to His Will”
April 15 - April 21, 2024
WEEK 16: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This week we cover hundreds of years of Nephite history in a few short, powerful chapters. First we’ll study Enos’ wrestle before the Lord and understand the power of prayer. Next, we’ll watch the small plates change hands multiple times from Enos’ son Jarom through many generations. We’ll also study the exodus of the righteous Nephites from the land of Nephi into the land of Zarahemla. Finally we’ll jump hundreds of years in time to study the words of Mormon and understand the far-reaching miracles of God’s plan for the Book of Mormon.
Questions to Consider:
Enos 1:6-7 & 16-17 | How does an increase in personal testimony allow you to stop asking how things will happen and find rest in God’s timetable?
Enos 1:20 | What does it mean to have a “fixed hatred” and how does that stem from letting our “evil nature” dominate?
Jarom 1:4 | What does it mean to have a stiff neck? What is the opposite state that allows us to be closer to the spirit?
Jarom 1:11 | Does our prophet ask us to do something similar? When have you had to choose to live “as though” a promised blessing has been fulfilled?
Words of Mormon 1:13-14 | How does this strategy apply to us? Which talk from conference echoed this message for you?

Book of Mormon [JACOB 5-7] Insights
“The Lord Labors with Us”
April 8 - April 14, 2024
WEEK 15: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
Jacob’s final teachings will focus our attention squarely on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. In Jacob 5, he’ll teach us Zenos’ allegory of the Olive Tree to help us understand the depth and infinite scope of God’s love for His children. Next, in chapter 6, he’ll urge us to be reconciled to God through Christ in this life and not procrastinate the day of our repentance. In chapter 7, Jacob we teach us how to be unshaken in the face of fierce opposition when he encounters Sherem, the first Anti-Christ of the Book of Mormon.
Questions to Consider:
Jacob 5:4 | How do you see agency and omnicience working together in the same space. As an omniscient God, why does he speak in possibilities?
Jacob 5:18 | Have you seen examples where those who are new to the Covenant draw strength from and simultaneously add strength to the Church?
Jacob 5:30-31 | How can the trap of being busy but not productive in the Lord’s way lead to apostasy in us?
Jacob 7:4 | Why is flattery such an effective tool of the adversary? How do we guard against it?
Jacob 6:5 | Do you see connections between cleaving and covenants? How do we cleave unto God?

“Be Reconciled unto God through the Atonement of Christ”
April 1 - April 7, 2024
WEEK 14: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This week, we’ll turn our attention to Jacob. He’ll pick the prophetic mantle from his incredible brother Nephi. Jacob’s people are beginning to sin in two key areas: they are lifted up in pride and attempting to justify sin regarding the law of chastity. While their particular sins are unique to their time, the root causes and remedies are applicable to our day. Jacob invites us to shake ourselves from sin and reconcile our will to God.
Questions to Consider:
-
Jacob 1:5-7, Do you think Jacob’s diligent labor could change the Nephites fate? Or is it sealed?
-
Jacob 1:10-11, Do you see physical protection and spiritual protection in the actions of our prophets today? What’s the equivalent to the sword of Laban in our day?
-
Jacob 2:6-9, How can a feeling be tender, chaste or delicate? Could these feelings relate to testimony too?
-
Jacob 3:1-2, When have you experienced an opportunity to find relief in your afflictions rather than escape from them?
-
Jacob 2:35, What does it mean to have a heart die? Can it be revived? Do the stories of hearts like Jairus’ daughter, Lazarus, and the widow’s son provide hope for those who have deep wounds?

Questions for week 12
2 Nephi 31:19 | How is unshaken faith possible at this early stage on the strait and narrow path?
2 Nephi 31:20 | Where did you see the “bright hope” Elder Maxwell articulated demonstrated in Nephi’s life?
2 Nephi 32:3 | We often think of feasting as a metaphor for how we consume. Are there other ways “feasting” applies to the Words of Christ?
2 Nephi 33:6 | We often speak about being His children, His brother and sisters, His covenant people. How is He also ours?
2 Nephi 33:15 | Earlier in his life Nephi said things like I will go and do the things the Lord hath commanded. Now, he says “he must obey.” Why? Is this a more mature form of obedience? Does it mirror the Savior’s obedience somehow?

WEEK 11: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
Nephi saw the latter-days with clarity and power. He understood the strategies of the adversary and the incredible promises of God. This week, we’ll study the coming forth of the Book of Mormon well over 2000 years before Moroni delivers the plates to Joseph Smith. Nephi will help us understand that God’s promises are available to all of His children and that He has a plan to extend the blessings of salvation to each and every person in His time.
On the creative side of week 11, we’ll teach about the flaxen cords of the adversary with a simple book shuffling experiment. Next, we’ll reinforce how all are alike unto God with an epic Peeps taste test. Finally, we’ll create a bouquet of tulips to talk about the line by line process of revelation.

WEEK 10: SUMMARY
=================
This week, we head into our second full week of studying the writings of Isaiah. This week’s chapters focus on historical events in the regions around Jerusalem as mighty kingdoms rise and fall. Each one will help us understand that the promises of God are always kept. In chapter 25, Nephi will add his own commentary about how to understand Isaiah’s symbolic writing style. Finally, he’ll end with powerful testimony about the unique, redemptive power of Jesus Christ.
Questions for week 10
2 Nephi 20:25 | Since God is not subject to time, why do you think He speaks about time at all?
2 Nephi 21:16 | What types of highways do you see in our world today that are inadvertently helping the gathering?
2 Nephi 24:15-16 | How do you see the wicked Kings and the adversary demonstrating the regret and torment of the mind Joseph Smith described?
2 Nephi 25:1-3 | How were the Scribes and Pharisees of Jesus’ day guilty of looking beyond the mark? Are we guilty of the same issue at times? (see Renlund Oct 2023)
2 Nephi 25:13 | What does it mean to “magnify the Lord” (see Wright Oct 2023)

“His Name Shall Be Called … The Prince of Peace”
February 26 – March 3, 2024
WEEK 09: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This week, Nephi will guide our hearts toward reconciliation with God through the words of Isaiah. We’ll study Isaiah’s prophecies about the scattering and gathering of Israel and apply those messages to our own modern-day discipleship. We’ll try to unravel the meaning behind some of Isaiah’s most powerful passages by focusing on what his prophetic words can teach us about our Savior, Jesus Christ.
First, we’ll play a speed game to help our kids get familiar with the words and symbols of Isaiah. Next, we’ll defy gravity with an uphill water flow experiment to teach about choosing the harder right rather than the easier wrong. Finally, we’ll use printable fishing lures to break down the truth-distorting techniques of the adversary.
Week 9 Questions
2 Nephi 11:8 | How do you think understanding Isaiah’s time, history, geography, and prophecies helps with the Gathering?
2 Nephi 12:3 & 5 |Where do you see the prophet and apostles doing this today
2 Nephi 13:12 | What do you think the phrase “destroy the way of thy paths”
2 Nephi 15:25-30 | What other symbols can mean both good and bad things? Why does the Lord teach with contrasts?
2 Nephi 19:6 | We usually attribute counselor to the Holy Ghost. Why does this title fit the Savior so well?

Insights Lesson Summary:
This week we head into Nephi’s second book and study some of the last words of Lehi. Days before his death, Lehi shares his hopes for his posterity and his crystal-clear testimony of the Plan of Salvation. During his teachings he’ll focus on the gift of moral agency and the purpose of opposition. He’ll also help us understand teach the pillars of the Plan by showing God’s fingerprints in the Creation, the Fall, and the redemption of men through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
Questions to Consider from Week 6
- 1 Nephi 16:12 | Laman and Lemuel seem to keep one foot planted in Jerusalem while they wander in the wilderness. What pain do they experience by neglecting to live up to the light they’ve been given.
- 1 Nephi 17:18 | Is it possible that Nephi broke his bow on purpose? Could he, like Elijah, have hoped a famine would help his family remember God? If so, what else can you learn from the story?
- 1 Nephi 17:23-29 | Lehi repents of his murmuring and then the family sees new writing on the Liahona. Nephi speaks about the Lord using “small means” to accomplish “great things”. What do you think he’s referring to?
- 1 Nephi 19:12 | One of my favorite titles for Jesus Christ is “The God of Nature”. What does that title teach us? How is it more vivid in these chapters about animals, storms, timbers, and tides?
- 1 Nephi 22:17 | Isaiah’s writings promise the the righteous need not fear the last days. 1 John 4:18 teaches that perfect love casteth out fear. Do you see a connection between these verses? How will perfect love play a role in the last days?

“Armed with Righteousness and the Power of God”
January 22 – January 28
Lesson Summary:
This week we’ll approach Lehi’s vision from a new vantage point as we study the visionary experience of Nephi. We’ll learn about the love of God and the many, many tools He has put in place to bring us all to the tree. Nephi’s vision will help us see the Lord’s plan to care for Lehi’s descendants - those who choose to follow Him and those who turn away. We’ll also study Nephi’s response to this vision and his powerful example of service through struggle.
Questions to Consider:
- 1 Nephi 11:25 | Why do you think there are two representations of his love (tree & river)?
- 1 Nephi 11:35 | Do you see the Great & Spacious building of our day straining to accept all the philosophies of men?
- 1 Nephi 12:4-11 | Why is showing His wounds the first thing the Savior does when He visits the Nephites?
- 1 Nephi 13:10-20 | Why does God still bless Columbus, the Founding Fathers, the Colonists etc, with power if they are imperfect?
- 1 Nephi 15:15-16 | What types and shadows of the Atonement of Jesus Christ do you see in the tree grafting symbol?

Next, we’ll talk about what it means to “keep” something for God by playing an epic game of potato jousting. Finally, we’ll talk about the beauty of unfolding revelation by creating a handful of fire.

WEEK 02: SUMMARY
=================
We head into familiar territory this week as we study the first 5 chapters of Nephi’s record. I see it as an epic coming-of-age story. Nephi begins by describing himself as “exceedingly young” and ends by describing himself as a “man of large stature”. In the middle, his faith, patience, and testimony are put to the test. He’ll teach us about following a prophet even when we don’t have a full understanding as well as the power that comes from seeking to know for ourselves. His experience with his brothers getting the plates helps us understand the goodness of God and His ability to make all things work together for our good.
On the creative side, we’ll use rubber bands and treat-filled targets to help us understand the structure of the Book of Mormon. Next, we’ll chat Nephi’s attempt to pump up his brothers and perform a Karaoke anthem challenge. Finally, we’ll talk about having light in our wilderness moments with a simple flashlight object lesson.

July 31 – August 6
We're covering the last 7 chapters of Acts and diving into Paul's life story - both before and after that pivotal day on the Road to Damascus. We'll read his testimony to the Jews on the street, the council of the Sanhedrin, Roman rulers, a storm-soaked ship, and ultimately King Agrippa's court.
On the creative side, we’ll tap into our Religious Liberty by using an important Gospel Library App area. Next we'll play a pattern game to help us understand being a minister and a witness. Finally, we'll create our own venomous vipers to help retell the miraculous story of Paul's visit to Malta.

“The Lord Had Called Us for to Preach the Gospel”
July 24 – July 30
This week we'll travel along with Paul and his companions on his second and third missions. Like the parable of the sower, Paul will plant seeds of truth in many types of soil. Some seeds will sink deep in good ground and change the hearts of entire communities. Other seeds will hit stony ground and struggle to take root.
On the creative side, we’ll care for our local missionaries with simple thank you card. Next, we'll chat about the power of small efforts by creating our own version of a Jacob's ladder toy. Finally, we'll test out a viral social media ice cream trend while we chat about soft and hardened hearts.
