Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
1 Timothy 1-6 This lesson was easy enough to prepare once I figured out what to do. There were several tiny, mini lessons in this text. I could have pulled one out and made a full lesson on one, but none of them were really long enough to spend a full lesson on, and I did feel like different topics would appeal to different students. I needed a method to…

The people at Thessalonica must have been pretty great bunch of folks. Paul gushes over them, and then their faith is so strong in the second coming that they literally quit their jobs in anticipation of the event they thought would be soon! These were fun books to cover. 1 Thessalonians 1-5 I spent a little time discussing the background of the people at Thessalonica and what kind of people…

Last week was spring break — it was kind of an unplanned whirlwind of activity, and I didn’t get the asparagus bed in or as much done on the website as I hoped. ‘Twas always thus, I suppose. We got in the car to drive to the church building we’ve been moved to Sunday, when someone suggested that we go to Disney World. So we did. I can see a…

This year the Aaronic Priesthood restoration date (May 15, 1829) is on a weekday, and I have been planning to have a little commemoration party during Seminary. After the results of the basic doctrines survey, I may instead do an activity on the essential nature of temple covenants. Or I may do both. We’ll just see… Anyway, I did a little research today, and the information on Priesthood commemmoration…

Impossibly, it snowed again Sunday night into Monday. The weather was so poor that the other teacher and I canceled Monday’s Seminary Sunday night, well before the school canceled. School was completely out on Monday and on two-hour delay Tuesday, so I only got to teach two lessons this week. We have missed an entire week of class this month due to snow days. It’s March — crazy! Unfortunately we…

Yes, we really did read all these chapters in a single week. My kids rule. 1 Corinthians 15-16 I was super excited about this lesson because of the three scripture mastery passages in 1 Corinthians 15, but it snowed. In March. AGAIN. So we missed out on my lesson. I had planned to open with a discussion of the Law of Witnesses and how it relates to missionary work (establishes…

Ocassionally I get a comment or email from a teacher lamenting that I’m behind them on the lesson schedule. It may be rough for the three or four people that read this blog, but for me, it’s fantastic. I get to see everyone else’s ideas before I need to give my lesson. But last year and this, I start to catch up with other teachers in March — just in…

The “Snowquester” has resulted in the cancellation of Seminary for three days this week. I’ve enjoyed getting a little bit of a break, though it’s too bad that we missed some of our March Madness fun. I posted in our FB group that anyone who posted pictures of what they did in the snow could earn 100 points for their group, and here’s a sampling of what was posted: Yes, that…

Today we begin our March Madness mad march.
After the results of the Basic Doctrines Assessment, I’ve been looking for opportunities to help my students understand some gospel terms better. The opportunity for covering salvation, justification, and grace has come up in the first part of Romans. I’ve spent two days covering the first five chapters, and we will spread into a third day to finish talking about these important doctrinal concepts. I am using a handout called…
