Book of Mormon [HELAMAN 1-6] Insights

“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?

Book of Mormon [MORONI 7-9] Insights

“May Christ Lift Thee Up”

December 9 – December 15, 2024

LINK TO THE CREATIVE VIDEO FOR MORONI 7-9

https://youtu.be/AsYkqyWF0iA

WEEK 50: SUMMARY

=================

Lesson Summary:

In Moroni chapters 7 through 9, Mormon, Moroni's father, writes about the principles of faith, hope, and charity, highlighting charity as the pure love of Christ that is essential for salvation. Mormon shares a sermon on discerning good from evil, encouraging us to judge righteously by the light of Christ. Additionally, he provides insight into the challenges faced by the Nephites and Lamanites during their wars, urging his son Moroni to remain faithful and strong despite witnessing widespread wickedness and despair. Mormon's letters to Moroni include counsel and expressions of his deep love for him, emphasizing the need to endure in faith, even amid difficult circumstances. Throughout these chapters, themes of love, obedience, and resilience during adversity are prominent.

Moroni 7:12-13 | What’s the difference between inviting and enticing? How do you see the adversary using those tactics? How does the Lord use them to help us use our agency for good?

Moroni 8:3 | Why does Mormon use this title for Christ here? We don’t often think of the Christ child as powerful. Is there a connection to his teachings about children in the rest of the chapter?

Moroni 9 | If past feeling is the far end of the spectrum, what is on the other end? What does this term teach you about the character and nature of God?

Book of Mormon [2 NEPHI 31-33] Insights

“This Is the Way”

March 18 – March 24, 2024

WEEK 12: SUMMARY

=================

Lesson Summary:

55 years after his family left Jerusalem, Nephi wrote his final guidance to his people. His words are plain and precious and riveted on the Doctrine of Christ. His rich teachings about the Holy Ghost and encouragement to “press forward” offer bright bursts of light to those seeking to stay on the covenant path.


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?

“A Marvelous Work and a Wonder”

March 11 – March 17, 2024

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.

1) “He Bindeth Them with His Strong Cords”: Shuffled Book Experiment

2) “All Are Alike unto God”: Peeps Taste Testing Challenge

3) “Line upon Line, Precept upon Precept”: Origami Tulip Craft

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?

“They Were Steadfast and Immovable”

June 10 - June 16 2024

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?

Book of Mormon [JACOB 1-4] Insights

“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:


1. Jacob 1:5-7, Do you think Jacob’s diligent labor could change the Nephites fate? Or is it sealed?

2. 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?

3. Jacob 2:6-9, How can a feeling be tender, chaste or delicate? Could these feelings relate to testimony too?

4. Jacob 3:1-2, When have you experienced an opportunity to find relief in your afflictions rather than escape from them?

5. 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?
