Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
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…

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/04/15/philippians-1-4-flecks-of-gold-for-scripture-49ers/ Philippi had a “rich” history based in GOLD. This background is a great way to set up the content and context of Paul’s epistle to the Philippians (a good overview of this is found at: http://www.ldolphin.org/pphilippi.html). This Mormon Message, FLECKS OF GOLD, is a great illustration of what it is like studying Philippeans and the other epistles of the New Testament. Many times they are ignored because they…

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/04/10/ephesians-6-the-whole-armor-of-god/ How do we put on the whole armor of God so that we may, as Paul promises, “be able to withstand in the evil day”? Elder M. Russell Ballard said, “I like to think of this spiritual armor not as a solid piece of metal molded to fit the body but more like chain mail. […]
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/04/09/ephesians-1-6-countering-satans-counterfeits-when-encountered/ I used Acts 19 as a springboard for Ephesians because it helped set up some of the content and context involved in this epistle. Although the epistle is written long after the events involving the citizens and saints of Ephesus in Acts 19, it is a great LIKENING tool. In Acts 19 we find three different […]
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…

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/04/08/day-2-april-81-nephi-4-6-or-pages-7-12-the-importance-of-scripture/ Reblogged from The Book of Mormon Translation Challenge: 1 Nephi 4-6 is an illustration of the importance of scripture in our lives. Their value is demonstrated as several lives are “on the line” for the Plates of Brass. It is obvious that the Lord is trying to help us understand the great worth of the word […]
Here is the general conference review quiz I made during the conference sessions I was able to attend this April. (There’s no first session questions due to a family emergency–sorry.) People have used this quiz in the past for family home evening and Seminary reviews. Versions available below with and without answers. Enjoy! — Update: I caught a couple of errors when I gave the quiz today in Seminary. Fixed…

Downloaded from: http://seminaryatsixam.blogspot.com/2013/04/beware-false-idols-acts-16-20.html We made False Idols today. It was very effective and created some great discussion.We discussed how easily people are led away from The Lord and begin to worship the false idols of the world.Thanks to my Seminary Friend, Pam, I remembered to break out the Playdough for today’s lesson. I have had several ideas for using Playdough and this worked very well. I used store-bought Playdough as…

Downloaded from: http://seminaryatsixam.blogspot.com/2013/04/making-most-out-of-general-conference.html This idea is all over the internet. I think I originally saw it on Sugardoodle.net and it was originally from Marci Coombs.Any how, I gave each of my students a bag of General Conference M&M’s this morning. I challenged them to open the bag only after they have written down at least one question they want answered during General Conference this weekend. I have spent a lot of time…
