The Infinite Atonement

Downloaded from: http://seminaryatsixam.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-infinite-atonement.html I am the first to support and understand the need to use CES Curriculum and support when teaching Seminary. When preparing Seminary lessons, I am careful to use stories, quotes, and examples straight from the teachings of ancient and modern day Prophets and Apostles.With that in mind, I highly recommend this book, The Infinite Atonement, by Tad R Callister to Seminary, Institute, and all teachers and students…

2 Peter 1-3, Ladder-Day Saints

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/05/06/2-peter-1-3-ladder-day-saints/ We began by having the Young Women recite the Young Women’s Theme. Then I asked the students to look for one of the values that Peter mentions in 2 Peter 1:1-4. Once they identified “divine nature”, I asked them to explain what it meant. It was surprising to them that they did not really understand what “divine […]

1 Peter 1-5, Peter’S Principles Prepare Peculiar People (2-Day Lesson)

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/05/06/1-peter-1-5-peters-principles-prepare-peculiar-people-2-day-lesson/ This was such a success! The positive feedback that I received from the students as a result of this lesson makes me feel that it may have been their best experience all year.  They felt like they could really evaluate where they stand as a member of the Church, and they absolutely LOVED being able […]

Titus and Philemon

Titus I can’t find any notes on this ….  How on earth am I still in this calling. Philemon Philemon didn’t seem to have anything of particular value doctrine-wise, so I gave the kids a little background on it and we did scripture mastery.

James and 1 Peter

James 1-2 I decided to split James into two themes: on the first day, I focused on the scripture masteries, and on the second, we did a review type lesson.  This worked pretty well. We spent a few minutes doing our scripture sort.  Then I gave an introduction to James, based on at least some of the reading. I kept feeling that I needed to leave out an account of his…

Hebrews

We covered the book of Hebrews in 4 lessons, all in one week.  It felt fast, and it was. Hebrews 1-2 I am trying to do better with scripture mastery, and so I am working on getting the kids to learn the references and key phrases.  Today I put up the four references from Corinithians on the board and asked the kids for the topics they address.  I asked “How…

The Observer Debacle

I’ve been to several Seminary classes to observe, but Tuesday was the first time someone has come to watch me!  Gah!   My friend, DeAnn, has been teaching Seminary for many years.  She called late Monday evening to ask if she could come over and watch our class.  It was fine with me, but my class does not operate like hers.  When Salt Lake imagines what Seminary looks like, DeAnn’s…

James 1-5, Disciples With Gusto Live Life In Crescendo!

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/james-1-5-disciples-with-gusto-live-life-in-crescendo/ To understand more about how this lesson you will need to read the excerpts that I have included at the end of the post from Grant C. Anderson, “Living a Life in Crescendo” (Religious Educator 5, no. 2 (2004): 19–27). I have edited his talk to include those parts that I felt are relevant to the students […]

James 1-2, “Doers” Just Do!

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/james-1-2-doers-just-do/ This lesson goes really well this April’s Come Follow Me curriculum on the Restoration. We started off with some background on who James was (see Bible Dictionary, third entry under James and James, Epistle of) so that we could establish some “street cred” and determine the importance his writings may have. How does knowing that he was Christ’s brother (half-brother) […]
