Disciples of Jesus Christ care for each other’s souls.
The choice to follow Christ is an individual one, but fellow believers can help keep us “in the right way” (Moroni 6:4–5). What did Church members in Moroni’s time do to strengthen each other? As you read Moroni 6:4–9, ponder the blessings that come from being “numbered among the people of the church of Christ” (Moroni 6:4).
You might also think about the people who attend your ward or branch. Is there anyone who might have special need of your love—perhaps someone who is new or recently returning? How could you help make their experiences at church more like what Moroni described? (for ideas, see My Covenant Path or the “Strengthening New Members” videos in the Gospel Library). You might find some inspiration in section I of President Dallin H. Oaks’s message “The Need for a Church” (Liahona, Nov. 2021, 24–25).
As you ponder what it means to be “nourished by the good word of God” (Moroni 6:4), it might help to think about the nourishment that a seedling or a baby needs—and what happens if it is neglected. Search Moroni 6:4–9 for ideas about how you can help “nourish” others spiritually. How have fellow disciples helped to nourish you?
It’s not obvious to everyone why it’s important to be “numbered among the people of the church of Christ” and to “meet together oft” in Church meetings. How would you explain why you are thankful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ? (see the other sections of President Oaks’s message “The Need for a Church”).
Hello friends,
I don't know how many of you saw the post about me being sick. Around Thanksgiving, it never fails, I always get crazy sick. This time I packed ice around my head to save myself a trip to the ER. Thankfully, the fever did break.
The Bad news: I don't have to time to create a quality lesson.
The Good news: The lesson I did create is entirely free.
I hope you enjoy.
These are the pieces you can hand out to the students. If you don't like my questions, I have some blank pieces for you to write your own. They are in pdf format.
This is the first one, make sure you explain to the students that they are being asked to share personal experiences. If you don't have enough pieces for everyone they can work in groups.
The last piece is the steeple, the youth that have it might be able to see that it fits right away. Tell them they are the finishing touch(:
It should look like this when you are done:
Sister Wallace,
My family and I will keep you in our fasting prayers for this month. We hope that you will recover soon. We're so grateful for all the help you give us through your ideas and inspirational lessons you have been sharing with us all these past years and currently. May Heavenly Father continues blessing you and your loved ones with peace, love, and comfort. With so much gratitude the Millers.
