“Stand Fast in the Faith of Christ”

August 12 – August 18 2024

WEEK 33: SUMMARY

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

Lesson Summary:

Mormon was a warrior and a general. He knew the pains of war and the power of studying the people who manage to stay valiant in it. This week, we’ll study the efforts of men like Captain Moroni and Helaman as they push back against the violent strategies of men like Zerahemnah, Amalickiah, and Ammoron. Studying their strategies and the Lord’s patterns of deliverance will help equip us for the battles of our day.

Questions to Consider:

Alma 44:17 | When is anger justified? How does Moroni channel it constructively? Are there stories in the Savior’s life that help you understand how to control this emotion rather than be controlled by it?

Alma 49:6-9 | Why do you think the Lord works in “curious” ways to conquer physical and spiritual enemies? Does this story teach you anything impactful about the Restoration?

Alma 47:7-18 | What important differences do you see between the story of Nehemiah rebuilding the wall and Lehonti coming down from his stronghold? How can we apply Nehemiah’s tactics to our day?

“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?”

“Look to God and Live”

July 29 – August 4 2024

WEEK 30: SUMMARY

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

Lesson Summary:

This week, Alma’s life is coming to an end, and a great war with the Lamanites is just beginning. To prepare his sons, Alma will invite each to hear his counsel individually. First, he’ll talk to his oldest son, Helaman. He’ll teach him about the importance of his personal deliverance story in a beautiful, deliberate chiasmus. Next, he’ll give him instructions on deepening his own testimony by keeping the plates and preserving the stories of the past. His counsel to his second son, Shiblon, will focus on the joy that comes to our lives when we are diligent, steady, and sure. The messages are unique, but both focus our eyes firmly on the power and promise of Jesus Christ.

Questions to Consider:

Alma 37:12 | How can something be straight and also round? Are there symbols in scripture or the temple that help you understand what this phrase might mean?

Alma 37:38-46 | What do you think the Liahona represents? The Holy Ghost, patriarchal blessings, something else? Have you had experiences when you “tarried” in the wilderness? How did you get out of them?

Alma 38:15 & 37:47 | What do you think it means to be sober regarding the gospel of Jesus Christ? How did Christ demonstrate this attribute for us?

“Plant This Word in Your Hearts”

July 22 - July 28 2024

WEEK 30: SUMMARY

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

Lesson Summary:

This week, the Zoramites who are poor in Spirit and poor in means find relief in the words of Alma and Amulek. Alma will teach them about planting seeds of truth and nourishing emerging young growth. He’ll help them connect to ancient prophets and increase their faith one hope-filled step at a time. We’ll also study Amulek’s testimony of the great and last sacrifice of Jesus Christ, followed by his earnest warnings about this life being the time to meet God.

Questions to Consider:

Alma 32:3-4 | How are poor in the things of the world and poor in spirit connected? How does understanding the gospel allow you to be poor in the world but full of the Spirit?

Alma 33:3-11 | How are our afflictions and sincerity an amplifier for our prayers? Elder Holland promised, “God hears every prayer we offer and responds to each of them according to the path He has outlined for our perfection.” How have you seen this in your life?

Alma 34:10 | Are the phrases “great and last sacrfice” and “infinite and eternal sacrifice” the same or is there a reason Amulek uses both? Does one build on the other? What do both phrases teach you about the worth of souls?
