Week 27 COME FOLLOW ME: Doctrine and Covenants – Teaching IDEAS & RESOURCES | D&C Sections 71 – 75

Questions to Ponder:

When I first began my individual study… these questions threw me off. Simply because many of these questions required and so much depth and individual reflection in order to respond honestly. My start arroyo to Come Follow Me was to go far, go out, get information technology done, bank check it off. These questions simply didn't allow me to do so. In fact, I felt a little sick when I would read a question like, "How does the spirit speak to you lot?" and I wouldn't know the answer right abroad. Subsequently a time, and pondering on that specific question I realized Information technology'S OKAY. In fact, I call up these questions were meant to be gear up aside, thought about, and pondered. When we try and come up up with the quick easy, obvious, answer, we are depriving ourselves of an opportunity to reflect, ponder, pray, and RECEIVE REVELATION. Is this not the whole reason for Come Follow Me? Are we non trying to finetune and recognize how we, and how to receive personal revelation. And so each calendar week I will listing out some of the questions issued in Come Follow Me.Maybe you lot selection to ponder about all of them, maybe you pick but one. Whatever you do, ponder on this for the ENTIRE calendar week. Pray virtually it, discuss it with loved ones, then at the showtime of the new calendar week, take the time to write down your impressions or thoughts, share them with your family, prove of powerful insights. Each Come Follow Me Lesson asks of import and reflective questions.

• As you study Doctrine and Covenants 71, what practice you find that builds your faith in the Lord and His work?
  • What impresses you about the pedagogy the Lord gave His servants in this situation?

• In what sense does your bishop "go along the Lord's storehouse" and manage the consecrations of ward members? (run across verses 10, 12). How has a bishop helped you?

• Consider how you lot tin make preaching the gospel an ongoing, "practicable" (verse four)—or realistic—office of your life amidst your other responsibilities.
• What words and phrases do you find in Doctrine and Covenants 75:1–12 that help you understand how to preach the gospel effectively?
  • What blessings does the Lord promise to faithful missionaries?
  • Consider how these instructions and blessings apply to you equally you share the gospel.
• What were Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon asked to do when others were criticizing the Church building and its leaders?
  • How do we "prepare the way" for people to receive God's revelations? (Doctrine and Covenants 71:four).
• How have bishops blessed our family unit?
  • What has our bishop asked us to practice, and how can we sustain him? Perhaps your family could make a card thanking your bishop for his service.
• Would your family benefit from learning near the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible?
• What does this verse teach us about Jesus Christ and little children? Doctrine and Covenants 74:7.
• Yous can aid your family sympathise how the Lord wants usa to serve Him past talking virtually the departure between being "idle" and "labor[ing] with [our] might."
  • How can we serve the Lord with all our might?
  • According to Doctrine and Covenants 75:3–v, 13, 16, what does He promise His faithful servants?

Lesson:

I of the common activities suggested for this week'due south Come Follow Me report, was to create a Give thanks You card for the Bishop of your ward. See the following below:

• How have bishops blessed our family?

  • What has our bishop asked united states of america to practise, and how can we sustain him? Perhaps your family unit could make a card thanking your bishop for his service.

• Aid the children brand cards to requite to the bishop, thanking him for what he does to aid with the Lord's work.

I thought it would be a fun to put a spin on the archetype thank you card! Instead of giving the bill of fare, or sliding it nether the office door, I thought it would be TOO cute to evangelize the note through a little air mail service! Imagine a flock of paper airplanes flight towards the bishop, fun and surprise is sure to be had by all!

This activity is historic period-advisable for your chief kiddos, all they way upward to your young men and young women! I had so much fun creating this footling printable, Please share pictures or let me know how information technology goes, even a VIDEO would exist besides fun to see!

"The idea of assuming this important responsibleness [the office of bishop] was about more than he could bear. … He … distrusted his power, and deemed himself incapable of discharging the high and holy trust. In his perplexity he appealed to the Prophet:

"'I cannot see a Bishop in myself, Brother Joseph; just if yous say it'south the Lord's volition, I'll try.'

"'Yous need not take my word alone;' answered the Prophet, kindly, 'Go and ask Father for yourself.'

"Newel … determined to exercise as [the Prophet] advised. … His humble, heartfelt prayer was answered. In the silence of night and the solitude of his chamber, he heard a phonation from heaven: 'Thy strength is in me.' The words were few and simple, but for him they had a world of meaning. His doubts were dispelled like dew before the dawn. He straightway sought the Prophet, told [him] he was satisfied, and was willing to accept the office to which he had been called" (Orson F. Whitney, "The Aaronic Priesthood," The Contributor, January. 1885, 126).

Activeness Suggestion from Church Magazines:

• Undercover Service for Bishop

  For Doctrine and Covenants 71–75

  • Sing "Teach Me to Walk in the Light" (Children's Songbook, 177).

  • Jesus taught that His Church should have bishops to lead and assist the members (run into Doctrine and Covenants 72:2).

  • Say thank you to your bishop or branch president by doing something kind. You could write him nice notes or bring him a treat. Y'all could even do your program without letting him know who did it!

• For Doctrine and Covenants 71–75: Assistance your little ones say, "I tin piece of work hard!" Teach your children a household chore they can assistance with, like sweeping or putting away their toys.

Activeness Suggestions From Come Follow Me:

• Bring items to class that stand for the responsibilities of a bishop, such as a tithing sideslip, the scriptures, or a moving-picture show of a bishop giving counsel (see the picture at the stop of this week's outline inCome up, Follow Me—For Individuals and Families). Read Doctrine and Covenants 72:2, and explain that the Lord has called a bishop to help us. Apply the items you brought to help the children understand some of the things a bishop does to serve the ward.

• Accept the children on a walk to the bishop's office (yous may want to coordinate with other teachers). Describe for them some situations when they might meet with the bishop in his office (such as a baptismal interview or tithing settlement). Tell the children how you take been blessed past the bishop's service.

• Assist the children make cards to give to the bishop, thanking him for what he does to assistance with the Lord's work.

• Invite each child to take a plow acting out how they would exercise an deed of service, such as cleaning a room in the church or washing dishes at dwelling. Read Doctrine and Covenants 75:iii, and ask the children to show how they would practice it lazily when you lot say "neither exist idle" and show how to work hard when y'all say "only labor with your might." Why is it important that we exercise our best when serving the Lord?

• Invite the children to practice in pairs how to share with others what they know about the Church. For example, they can share a simple testimony or share one of the Manufactures of Organized religion.

These videos are put together by Doctrine and Covenants Central, like Book of Mormon Fundamental. Their vision is to"build enduring faith in Jesus Christ by making the Doctrine and Covenants accessible, comprehensible, and defensible to people everywhere."

I retrieve kickoff hearing about their vision during a Fair Mormon Conference a few years ago when this vision was still just a vision, tears filled my optics and my heart swelled at the thought of how needed and necessary their vision and efforts are, especially today. I wish I could put into words how grateful I am to those that share their talents so freely.
