Book of Mormon [MOSIAH 1-3] Insights
“Filled with Love towards God and All Men”
April 22 - April 28
WEEK 17: SUMMARY
=================
Lesson Summary:
This week, we’ll cover the first three chapters of Mosiah and the first half of King Benjamin’s sermon. His words to his sons and people are centered on service and offer us a powerful glimpse of true leadership. His recounting of the angel’s words will help us recognize the character of the Savior.
Questions to Consider:
1. Mosiah 2:5-6 | Mosiah asked that the people gather in families, each in their own tent. Question: How does this approach mimic home-centered, church-supported learning? Why would this bless Benjamin’s people? How does it bless us?
2. Mosiah 2:36-37 | Benjamin warns that he’s teaching them truth and they’ll be held accountable for the knowledge they receive. He warns not to “withdraw themselves from the Spirit.” Question: Often we talk about the Spirit withdrawing from us. How do we withdraw from it? What does it mean to give the spirit “no place in us”?
3. Mosiah 3:5 | The angel says Christ will come in a tabernacle of clay. Question: How does the word tabernacle/tent help you understand this second estate of mortality? Why clay? How does that word add to our understanding?

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?

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
