Book of Mormon [ALMA 39-42] Insights

“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?”

Creative Summary:

This week, we’ll use three different creative kickstarts to teach Moroni 7-9. The first lesson, using a cup-moving game, illustrates how relying on the Light of Christ and prophets leads to success. The second lesson, involving creating Giving Machine ornaments, emphasizes the importance of charity as the pure love of Christ. The third lesson, a glitter-chasing experiment, demonstrates how perfect love conquers fear. The lessons incorporate scripture, activities, and supplemental materials to engage participants and teach key principles.

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?

A Creative Study of Come, Follow Me

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?

This week we’ll open up conversations about the Olive Tree symbolism by creating our own paper-bag vineyard. Next, we’ll balance a trio of knives to study the tools Jacob used to know and defend truth. Finally, we’ll play a new Kahoot to help us review the first 3 books of the Book of Mormon and appreciate the steadying force of scripture study in our lives.

1) “I will liken thee ... unto a tame olive tree”: Vineyard Craft

2) “He had hope to shake me from the faith”: Triangle of Truth Knives

3) “They searched the Scriptures”: Kahoot Challenge #1

Book of Mormon [3 NEPHI 27-4 NEPHI] Insights

“There Could Not Be a Happier People”

October 21 - October 27, 2024

WEEK 43: SUMMARY

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

Lesson Summary:

This is a week woven with warnings and promises. President Nelson just taught, “Now is the time for us to make our discipleship our highest priority.” This week’s chapters will help you understand how to accomplish that powerful invitation. In His final sermon to the Nephites, the Savior emphasizes the need for unity within His church. He directs the name of the church as well as His clear, simple, redeeming doctrine. He’ll help us understand the value of giving all we have to His work and the promise of hope to all who come unto Him. His message leaves the people hungering and thirsting after righteousness for 3 generations. Sadly, the unity begins to unravel when pride creeps back in among the people and false teachings lure hearts away from the truth.

3 Nephi 27:25-26 | How does it comfort you to know the Father is the recorder for your life? How would that knowledge impact your prayers? How does D&C 137:9 help you understand this verse?

3 Nephi 28:1-10 | If this asking to tarry on the earth was such a good choice for the 3 Nephites, why don’t we have more people choosing it in scriptural history? What makes these three (and other translated beings) distinct from ministering angels?

4 Nephi 1:3 | These people weren’t in bondage before Christ’s coming. How were they “made free”? What do you think “the Heavenly Gift” refers to?
