2023 WEEK 43 [1 AND 2 TIMOTHY; TITUS; PHILEMON]

“Be Thou an Example of the Believers”

October 23 – October 29

WEEK 43: SUMMARY

Paul was a mentor to both Timothy and Titus. Paul wrote to both of them hoping to strengthen their leadership abilities and guide them towards greater faith. He focused on the power of teaching "sound words" in order to fend off apostasy. To Philemon, Paul wrote of reconciliation and the power of forgiveness.

On the creative side, we'll explore the haunted homes in our neighborhoods to learn about the spirit of Fear. Next, we'll create twisted spinners to help our kids understand the alignment of "sound words". Finally, we'll use new bloom balls to open up conversations about the foundations of our testimonies.

2023 WEEK 45 [HEBREWS 7-13] NOTES

“An High Priest of Good Things to Come”

November 6 – November 12

WEEK 45: SUMMARY

The second half of Hebrews centers on the blessings, challenges, and power of faith in Jesus Christ. These chapters help us build up our cloud of witnesses by studying the faith-filled choices of Old Testament heroes and recognizing the power of the higher priesthood.

On the creative side, we'll use a red reveal trick to understand how the Atonement of Jesus Christ can make the truth clear. For our last guts & glory week of 2023 we'll take things to a new level by holding fire in our hands while we talk about revelation. Finally, we'll focus on trusting in the promise of things afar off by creating fridge countdown cubes.

A Creative Study of Come, Follow Me

Book of Mormon [ALMA 8-12] Insights

“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?

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?

“A Marvelous Work and a Wonder”

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

“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?

2023 WEEK 44 [HEBREWS 1-6]

“Jesus Christ, the Author of Eternal Salvation”

October 30 – November 5

WEEK 44: SUMMARY

The epistle to the Hebrews was written to try to help the Jewish converts. They were struggling to balance their understandings of the Law of Moses with the new covenant through Jesus Christ. These chapters incorporate familiar Old Testament verses to help us understand the role of Jesus Christ as our Savior and Redeemer.

On the creative side, we'll make smoke rise from our fingertips and teach about putting our faith into action. Next, we'll understand types and shadows in the Old Testament with a clever twist on a word search. Finally, we'll learn about the value of learning line upon line by comparing broth to the rich, meaty goodness of my favorite chicken noodle soup recipe.
